Lumintop GT micro

To note, past Femto we have Atto. and past Tera we have Peta and Exa, guaranteeing at least 6 more names in the series!

Sounds like the potential for at least 400,000 more arguments as to which emitter to put in them, amongst other things… :person_facepalming:

Any update on when is this coming out?

still after CNY ;)

i heared the preproduction samples have been shipped...

Thank you!

In for 1.

Thank you

I just got my prototype GT micro in yesterday and I have to say, I like it. A nice little pocket thrower.

The throw ratings they gave are spot on what I got, I got 52kcd and 457m of throw on my sample.

Although the lumens are a bit lower, I got 900 lumens dropping to ~800. They are using VERY thin LED wires right now though and the tailcap springs could be a bit lower resistance.

I told them to use 24awg wire on the LED, that should bump the output up some so it could be rated at 850-900 lumens (technically it could now but that is not how I do things).

The thermals are surprisingly good as well, Took quite some time for it to heat up enough to thermal throttle and by that point the cell was at the point of LVP, so not sure which one it was that caused it to step down but think it might of been the LVP.

I have to say, it looks pretty good for a prototype.

Wrong thread.

Nice news. I did hope for a bit better than 52 kcd, but I did not base that on anything precise. What is the (used) reflector diameter?

And a few pictures are always welcome :slight_smile:

I will measure the reflector in a bit.

Yeah, I am going to take some pictures, just not on the right computer to edit/upload them right now.

When can we order?? I like this idea a lot!

52kcd with an XP-L HI huh? Can’t wait to put an XD16 in one!

Djozz, the reflector OD is 32mm and the ID is 29mm.

Some pictures of the light:





I am not sure, after china new year for sure. So at least another month, most likely a bit longer then that.

Also, not sure if it was mentioned before but the driver in this light was designed by Schoki, it just uses the TA design. He was going to make a really really cool boost / FET combo driver for this light that would of worked with both AA / 14500 but time constraints prevented that from happening in time so we had to revert to a 14500 only driver.

Hmm, maybe for a rev2 Schoki’s driver is ready then, it is still a holy grail for flashaholics.

After a quick calculation, 52 kcd with a XP-L Hi makes perfect sense, and from my mods sofar with the 1mm2 White Flat (so without cutting edge driving and focusing) I reckon 100 kcd will be achieved.

And that makes me think back of this thread in 2013: REAL pocket thrower (100kcd). Can it be done? :slight_smile:

An aspheric, recycling ring and a white flat... Just wish we could get the recycling rings . Dang, darn patent lawyers! Well, lawyers in general!

Wow, old thread. Interesting though. If you work out a way to get 100K out of this light, I’m extremely interested. No need for the V2 driver, I’ll only be running 14500’s.

Dangit, you’ve triggered my addiction again. My girlfriend is giggling hard. And whapping me up-side the head. As usual.

Larry, isn’t it a thing that you have to buy one new light for every whack in the head? Your girlfriend really wants you to have a large flashlight concussion collection… :stuck_out_tongue:

I keep telling her this. For some reason, she just doesn’t quite understand. She (and my friends) do love borrowing my lights though. Someday I’ll get them all together for a family pic (the lights, that is). That would be kinda frightening even for me though. Been buying customs since long before Mr Bulk on That Other Website. I EDC’d a LionHeart for years. Still have several of them, in fact.

Bah.

This place is so dangerous to my wallet. But awesome for my addiction. We all have to have our therbligs. And I so love tinkering. I do have a small lathe and metal shop, but I can’t do everything that happens here.

The lights that get created on this site are simply amazing. There are a metric Shut Ton of incredibly smart people getting together to make amazing creations. I heartily thank all of you for your time and effort. If I ever get the opportunity to pay for your bar tab, just let me know. It’s the least I can do. Anytime, Anywhere.

Anyway. Between this, the GT70, The BLF lantern, FW3A, GT Everything, I’m hooked. As usual. Keep feeding my addiction, I love it. And, as trouble goes, it’s pretty harmless. Except to my wallet.

Whatever .

Her standard joke is “are you getting another light?”. Why yes, I am. Sooooooooooo?
