Lumintop GT micro

Do you know the Dimensions?

I’d rather see BLF Jr. with two 3 cell carriers & a reflector about 3/4 the size of the original. That would be a much handier beast.

lenght 10.6cm

I’m pretty excited about this light, but I’m unreasonably excited about that driver…

Sorry GT micro. I stay with Emisar D1 as pocket thrower with 10,5mm length. I think the head is also nearly the same size but the 18650 capacity completely win this.

I’m in! :smiley:

It’s awesome short by awesome thin! I’m in!

I'm in :-)

This is what I was thinking.

Having the 14500 capability to make the body smaller is great and all but you still need a semi thrower head.

Ill be curious to see if the candela ratings beat out the D1 because the D1 is a very, VERY good form factor with a very simple to understand UI.

I really like it!
Looking forward to the opportunity to buy.

Nice form factor and AA / NiMh / 14500 compatible! I’m in! :smiley:

Looks good, I’m in. I am even more interested in the driver though.

A GT Micro doesn’t interest me much. Anything with a head that big might as well run on an 18650.

What does is an AA/14500 driver running Narsil. If they put that in the EDC05 with a nice emitter (not Cree), they’d really have something. I’d also likely buy several drivers if they sold them separately for a reasonable price.

I would also love to see this driver for sale, I think they would make a killing selling it.

After reading the comments….

I still find the light very cute.
But it has no chance to compete against D1 when it comes to capabilities-to-size. Assuming equal reflector diameter (no idea if this assumption is right), 18350 Emisar will perform better while offering slightly better capacity and much smaller size. 18650 will provide another small performance improvement and triple capacity.

The boost driver makes it possible to use nimh, but makes the light larger. That’s a part of the reason for performance disparity against D1.
It also makes it possible to use AA, possibly making it the best 1*AA thrower.
Personally I couldn’t be less interested in what the best 1*AA thrower is, but I’m sure that there are others who could.

So…yeah, I find Micro very cool and I will gladly follow its development, but this light is not for me.

Nano…wouldn’t have a competitor like Emisar. :wink:

Completely agree with Argo! :+1:
Cute light!

nice! definitely interested

I’ve always pursued the interest in a “line” of a model. With the GT starting at the top, the natural progression is down… so yeah, stay with the form factor and I’m in for the entire line. Matter’s not one little bit what the competition is, that’s not at all what this is about, but the form factor and the functionality of the light on it’s own merits. I don’t drink Coke because it tastes like Pepsi, I drink Coke because I like Coke. I don’t buy a flashlight because I need the form or the function it offers, I buy it because I want it, because I’m a non-delusional flashaholic and I have a rather large collection that is constantly growing and evolving. Non delusional is the key. I’m happily addicted, enjoying it. :slight_smile: As such, I don’t need to talk anyone into buying one, nor do I need to talk anyone out of it. It’s awesome, I love it, I’ll buy… (and I might put a White Flat in one, just because)

I might very well buy one of those, and then, if I’m happy with it, as many drivers as I could find (perhaps even buy more lights just to gut the drivers. Sad, I know.)

Djozz: I don’t think even halving the output hurts throw that much. Going from 1000 to 500 lumens on a light with 1km of throw only lowers output to 707 meters. It’s certainly a lot lower, but I’d say the extra runtime and lower heat more than make up for it, not to mention extra battery compatibility and, being a boost driver, stable output for the entire runtime, instead of a steadily falling brightness.

Hope this light will have a neutral white option.
