I also found what appears to be a firmware bug. See if anyone can reproduce it.
In ramping UI, with strobes disabled, if the ramping is at maximum (50%), double click turns on turbo, but double click again turns off the flashlight.
If ramping is at any other brightness other than maximum, double click turns on turno and double click again returns to the previous ramped brightness.
I’m pretty sure yesterday it worked well, today it’s not working. I performed a factory reset and nothing changed. My firmware is 1.3.
Thanks for your patience Jason. I read the whole thread before I had the light in my hands and somehow I forgot it was mentioned here. Guess I’m getting old. And like chadvone said, I too find it annoying this glitch.
You can pry the press fit retaining ring up & rotate the switch cover / switch to your liking. That might be more trouble than it is worth though…. but that depends on how much it bothers you.
No, the “silver ring” (retaining ring) is holding the “rubber cover” in place. To rotate the rubber cover you must loosen or remove the retaining ring. Then rotate the rubber cover & press the retaining ring in again to hold the cover.
The retaining ring is a ‘press fit’ so you must somehow pry it out to remove it.
IIRC someone in this thread showed how they did it, pictures included. I do not have time to hunt it up now. But if you have not found it by the time I get back home I’ll find it & post it here.
Sometimes you need to use a heat gun to heat up the bezel and soften the threadlocker, then use a pair of rubber strap wrenches to rotate in opposite directions. The amount of threadlocker will determine how tight it is and if heat is needed.
Is it normal that when a gt mini is turned off, led still glows like a moon mode, don’t know maybe 1 or 2 or 3 lux, so i can light a watch and see what’s the time, also can clearly see a spot on a white wall.
Even if i lock a torch with a 4 press of a button, so the green led on a button goes off, but xpl-hi led still glows a little, so it’s impossible that an xpl-hi led is iluminated a little from a button led.
Do you think i need to RMA it , because i have befor this one another gt mini NW, but i didn’t see that a main led shines even if a torch is off.
In manuals it writes that a parasitic drain is around 27micro A but on my torch parasitic drain is when a torch is off 4.3mili A.
Is this a problem with a driver or with a led?
