For some reason the highest current I can get from a 30q is 3 amps. This is with a mustool MT66 with some AC mains cables instead of stock leads. With an LG MJ1 I got about 3.8 amps. The led looks brighter aswell compared to my L16. The button is slightly off center on the 30qs so could this be what’s causing the problem? I don’t even know if I’m meant to be using button tops in the first place but that is what it states on banggoods page.
Multimeters are no good for amp draws. They almost always read low, especially as the current increases they become more inaccurate. You need a clamp meter.
I’d like to ask a question I couldn’t get an answer elsewhere. I just could find one runtime graphic on google, showing that the GT mini steps down to around 10% of the output in the first 3 minutes? Can anyone confirm that? Thank you.
My GT mini has just arrived, I’m in China right now and bought directly from Lumintop. I got the neutral white version. I like it so far, waiting to get dark to test it.
I don’t know if I got lucky, but the flat on the body is perfectly aligned with the button.
ZeroAir’s review of the GT Mini has a runtime graph…
However, the GT Mini sample ZeroAir got appears to have a lower max current (his measured lux/throw are lower than spec), I believe his sample may be one of the few reported to have lower current (GT Mini supposed to have 5.5-6Amps on max FET; but there are reports of people getting only 3-4.5 amps, thus not hitting the rated throw of 700+ meters)…
Because of the rattling in one of my GT Mini's I didn't use that light. Now that I started playing with it I discovered that there are more problems with this light. Sometimes when I push the switch nothing happens. Then when switched on it sometimes jumps straight to turbo mode.
