Lumintop GT4

lol haha,… :open_mouth:

Google knows you and your preferences.

Lol must be true :+1:

You all have too many jokes.
So will the GT4 have options for other leds than 70.2?

What other possible led could be an option?

have you seen how beefy the head looks? its made for this type of emitters to absorb that amounts of heats those emitters will produce, doubt they have plans for anything else, but that depends if enough demand they might produce something after but dont count on it for now maybe…

There are no plans for other emitters at this time but the design is such that DIY mods should not be hard. You could use 3v, 6v, or 12v LED’s without much trouble. You would just need large ~26mm+ mcpcb’s for them.

An XHP35 version was considered but honestly you might as well just get the GT70 as I expect that the throw and output would be similar. The only benefit would be better tint options but that is not enough for most people.

A boost HX version would be interesting to consider once the LED is released but till then it is impossible to say if it would be worth it.

I think the other guys want a CFT90 light.

That would easily cost 1200$US+ though.

/\ OUCH!!!

Sliced XHP70.2 would be just about perfect I think. Unfortunately that will have to be done by the customer.

we should hire ZozzV6 to produce the LEDs ;)

Maybe :smiley:

Amen to that!! . <— click <— … He does it like a pro…. :+1:

I agree! :smiley:

If Lumintop contact me to make dedomed leds for them I can do it just we need to agree in labour cost and they need to send me the leds on the final MCPCB-s. You can undesrstand that the shipping costs and labour will rise the final flashlight’s price by a margin. 4 leds dedoming take at least 2-3 hours continuous work on microscope making very precise moves so I think I only can make for one or max two flashlights a day to not make my eyes tired as hell… To translate that around 7-10 flashlights per month.

I’m in for at least two :slight_smile:

That’s tiring work. Would a sliced dome approach dedomed LED improvement?

Couldn’t they order dedomed LEDs on a reel? They are a manufacturer.

You can’t really dedome the 70.2. They all have to be sliced. Cree does not make HI versions, only HD with the dome.

Unless Zozz has a special technique to remove the dome, but I don’t think anyone has done this successfully.

Maxtoch has unless I’m remembering it wrong. They’ve also done a clean de-dome on the SST-40.

And slicing/dicing doesn’t take all that long once you get used to doing it. I cover the MCPCB with a copper plate that has the square cut out for the substrate, slice with a silicone greased scalpel, then dice the sides. Takes a few minutes at most. No microscope, no helping hands, no real set-up… just a couple of bare MCPCB’s under the outer edges of the copper plate to keep it sitting level on the board that has the die.

Ah, good to know thanks

That may be the only way to make this light viable if they decide to move forward with it. Even TA said the GT4 design idea is dated
