The 14250’s capacity is horribly low, running a pair of em is pricey on the output vs runtime. I know all too well, have done it a lot. I’ve run MT-G2’s in chopped AA MiniMag’s as well as a lot of other variants. lol Until recently I had an XHP-50.2 in a copper X5, changed it all out in favor of a White Flat.
Edit: Yes, you could use a 2xAA light and 4 of the 14250’s with a LED4Power driver set up for the 12V emitter. That would work too, but run time would still be pretty lousy.
When I ordered the Micro’s from Neal the expedited shipping claimed 5-8 days, but the site didn’t say anything about it taking 2 weeks to actually ship them. As I understand it, Lumintop is in the process of churning out another batch so we should be hearing something soon…
There is no normal when it comes to launching a new product. It kinda depends on when the company thinks it will be ready to ship and when they think they should start taking orders. Lumintop in the past has sometimes started taking orders a couple weeks too early (assuming no delays to shipping). It helps them to cover their bills/salaries, etc…, but it’s not too nice for the customer.
I don’t have any background knowledge on this Lumintop product so I’m in the dark. On other Lumintop products they would box up a big batch of lights then it got sent to a 3rd party shipper. Then they would arrange the best way to ship it. Then it took maybe 2 weeks for the tracking info to get back to Neal and for him to send it out to the customers. Maybe this is the situation for the Micro?
Shipping products out of China is a very complex process.
Maybe M4D M4X could ask Neal if they have shipped the first batch yet.
Yes, bought two of Neal’s gadgets, E07 1 week ago and GTmicro 2.5 weeks ago, both have not been shipped. I guess that it is not Neal who is slow but his suppliers do not deliver. You could question if it is a good idea that he sells stuff that he has no direct control over.
Anyway, as always it comes when it comes
This year, Christmas is every months…
Between the GT Micro, FT03 and FW3A… Man when this packages will show themselves in the mailbox, I’ll mark the day for sure !
Guess what I just find waiting for me when I got home? It arrived! Along with a Lumintop EDC05C, interesting, because I know I was interested in it but didn't order it, and thought they never made it? Oh boy - I gotta talk to Neal...
