Got my nw conversion kit ordered using chrome on my phone and selecting “request desktop site” in the browser settings. To make the code work, I pasted it in, and just clicked on the “order notes” text box, and the page updated with the discount. Weird. But hey it worked. Thanks everyone!
Cree XHP70.2 – Neutral White is a 5000k P2 3C.
Cool White is a 6500K P2 1A
What are the theoretical lumen differences between these two?
And about how many lumens will I lose by using the normal GT battery carriers?
Thanks
Order successfully placed for a NW GT70 with batteries, lens cover & strap, thanks everyone!
On paper they should be the same lumens bu they also have a 14% tolerance range, so rarely are they the same.
Also the tint bias on most meters will cause the CW to read higher.
To the human eye though, you will hardly be able to tell, get whatever tint you prefer over worrying about paper numbers.
The springs on the new carriers appear to be the same as the GT carriers, so the difference should be minor if at all.
Ok thanks for the info. I was planning on dedoming and thus was originally wanting CW, but I’m thinking the domed version throws far enough, and I really love the tint on my Q8 which is close to 4500-5000k from what I remember. So I may end up ordering NW.
I prefer the domed version myself, I don’t like the tint shift when it is dedomed.
After a couple of weeks with my GT70, I can say that I’m 99% happy with this monster. The minus 1% is due to the lanyard holes do not line up. Not the end of the world. It is heavy and I need to get a shoulder strap for it. Any recommendations?

You do know that the tail lanyard hole is on a ring that can rotate, although somewhat stiff?
Have not yet received email with code to allow ordering of NW GT for which I signed up. What should I do? Thanks.

The tailcap should spin to allow the holes to line up. A few said that there was a burr on it that needed to be cleaned off. You can remove it from the inside with a pair of needle nose pliers. the center section unscrews from the outside.

Mine was in the spambox.
Thanks TA for the nearly instantaneous response. NW+accessories successfully ordered. Now the most difficult aspect, waiting!

There is a full breakdown of the tailcap with pictures in this link. Unfortunately, I can’t copy the post here.

Good job, I knew that existed but had no idea where to start looking for it.
azj: teacher:Hmmmm…. that is strange. It worked for me. The Code knocked $20 off the price of the carriers…… making them $28 for a set of two.
Oh yeah, it seems they are just sold in pairs… no singles.
Worked fine for me too, I think that’s an excellent price for a pair a carriers, even if the are in fact different than the ones in the original GT.
What’s the purpose of a spare set of carriers?
Just use it as a spare carriers, or in the future, some machine shop will make a coupler which you can run 12 cells.

Vinh at Skylumen already has adapters available.
- There. Is. nothing. more. frustrating, than having lumintop keep sending me emails to ” try the link again” on their website, but every time it does NOT work. I can not get the add to cart to work or the buy it now to work. at all. I tried two computers, and two different browsers. is there a trick to this?

Hmmm, is the Canadian government tampering with your internet access? Lol
So the website loads up fine? (I guess that’s the problem)
Can you choose the item you want to buy? If so, do the light blue buttons turn dark blue?
just what I noticed in the GT mini and also seen on the GT conversion kit
Fake Atmel MCU from some chineese distributor
the original BLF GT driver had the orighinal Atmel chips, but someone decided to safe 30 cents or so and sourced fakes
GT mini vs original GT XHP35
it also uses a voltage divider to detect battery voltage, so likely code changes needed to get it work so it cant be just a mistake ordering from wrong source

You are having a very strange issue. It works just fine for me.
Firstly I would clear all cache and cookies.
Next try starting your browser with add-on’s disabled (in firefox it is in the help menu).
If that doesn’t work then it would seem to be something with your ISP or DNS settings would be my next guess.
Try flushing your DNS by running :
ipconfig /flushdns
from the windows command prompt.
If that still doesn’t work do you have access to any other internet providers at work, friends house, library ect?
Can you access the plain lumintop site? : http://www.lumintoponline.com/
