(prototype) the GT Mini

Just to clarify: the BLF GT Mini and the Lumintop GT mini are identical, correct?



Yesterday, I have received my GT Mini. The first thing I noticed was how well this flashlight has been packed. So, kudos to Neal for taking care of a safe packaging and very quick (1 week only to Germany!) shipping! :THUMBS-UP:

The switch with the "alien grin" works flawlessly until now. It feels quite cushy and not very crisp but that doesn't bother me at all. What troubles me a bit is the XP-L HI having some offset from the center, resulting in a rather patchy spot on the wall. One side on the spot's outer rim looks dim, the other side like hazily lit up too much. I'm not sure if it's the reflector on the centering ring not being properly aligned or the XPL HI not being properly aligned within the centering ring. The picture below is unfortunately not very meaningful. As it appears to be glued, has anyone managed to open the bezel? Any hints, how to realign the LED correctly if the bezel cannot be loosened?

yes!

correct name is: GT Mini (brandname: Lumintop)

the BLF was not involved (members have been..)

My GTmini ring looks different. Flashlight bought in group purchase.

My PayPal dispute is finished.
Full refund from Banggood.
Now I’ll try to repair it… anyone know what switch I can swap on the driver ?

I received my replacement head and my diffusers. My order from Neal is complete. Not sure if anybody else got the diffuser or not but it really doesn’t fit the head its too large and doesn’t stay on tight. I am thinking an o-ring or a small piece of foam super glued on the inside edge might work to hold it better anyone else have the same issue or have you come up with some sort of solution.

haha!

X3 - banggood 1-0.

My PayPal case is still ongoing, “Max” from Banggood claims a replacement head is on its way to me and wants me to close the claim.
I told him I’m happy to close the case immediately upon receipt of the new, working head, till that happen the case will remain open.
That was first of the week. No reply yet, we shall see if a new head shows up in 4-5 weeks.

hm okok, not sure how long a case on paypal can be open, that many weeks or ? thats a long wait does it really take almost a month to get stuff to you from china ?

Smart move Cereal_killer!! :+1:
Once a claim is closed it cannot be reopened, the way I understand it anyway.

My gt mini switch does not work all the time, i ordered on the pre order, who should i contact?

if you sent your money to banggood -> banggood ;)

You bought from Neal or banggood ?

If you paid Neal, contact Neal.
If you paid Banggood, contact Banggood.
