Lumintop GT micro

The DHL package arriving today is not from Neal. It is from KaiDomain… they just never bothered to give a tracking number. Was hoping…

Hhmm. I usually get a shipping notice email from Neal's store and that has shipping/tracking info - it looks automated. Dunno - he may upgrade my shipping if something special. Frustrating though that email is the only place the tracking info is.

I get DHL texts, they state Country of origin but not shipper.

Been having some fun with my GT Micro…. seems to pack a nice punch for such a small light. Also the throw beam is a lot more usable than I imagined; the spill is quite usable for my evening walk. The farthest target I can hit here at home is about 650ft (200m) and the light reaches easily with more to spare. And fits nicely in the side pocket of my hiking pants.

If you have not seen this POLL CONCERNING GLUED LIGHTS , please check it out & vote…

It is an attempt to get one light manufacturer to listen concerning using glue to seal their lights. Maybe other light companies might listen also. . :+1:

Take a few seconds & vote……

‘NO GLUE’ is the goal. Hopefully, this poll will help achieve that goal.

Teacher, from the flip side of the coin I see why they glue… for one thing to lock in the warranty, can’t have a warranty if people are going in mucking about with the innards. And for safety reasons as well, not everyone that mods knows how to mod. :wink:

I don’t often sell lights I build because I build hot rods, I spend the time making them do all they can do, within my abilities, and invariably someone gets ahold of my light and wants to see what I did, opens it up and destroys the focus, breaks wires, or just in general mucks up what I spent a couple of hours getting right. I want to glue mine too! (in part to help keep ME from modding them again!)

That is a valid concern DB Custom, I agree. :+1:

It would be great if they could come up with something to indicated the light had been opened without using tons of glue though…

I wonder how Convoy (Simon) handles the warranty thing considering he does not glue his lights??

Being as how Simon is a really nice guy, he probably takes a beating in the warranty department. A VERY high percentage of that not being an actual warranty issue…

And yes, I hear you, but in the big picture they probably only have a single digit percentage of lights they make that actually get opened and tampered with. We are a limited few here on BLF, the world market buys em to use and that’s that. I know quite a few flashaholics that are afraid to open a light, seems to them that even if they just take the bezel off they mess something up (fingerprints on the reflector being a number one concern). So, we are a very small if not quite silent minority…

/\… Yep… :+1: … Not “silent” at all. :smiley: :smiley:

Got mine today. Stuck a battery in it and it came on as I screwed up the cap. And stayed on. No modes, no ramping, and no off. Fortunately a quick clean of the head did away with that and now it works perfectly. Smaller and much nicer than I thought it was going to be, and quite powerful.

What do you mean?

He mean it worked normally.

/\ …. :beer: . :wink:

Me too Jason, confusing how a cleaning of the head would have anything to do with the light being on and have no off, that’s a tail cap problem.
(I just came in from mowing the lawn, could be I have dust in the brain and am missing something)

Add me to the list of confused bout that head cleaning. Ok, maybe this guy below does need a head cleaning

u can see in this video some weird substance on his light head, what was it i mean brand new light and came so dirty with something, ? so i guess TheAuditor had the same problem.

Here is the manual for the GT micro.
As I wrote it I had no numbers for lumens and throw.
So the printed manual from Lumintop can differ on that and the logo, the rest should be the same.

I hope that helps the first buyers

That’s just some of the o-ring grease that got squeezed out on assembly. Then the box and packing kind of smears it around. My light had that too. A paper towel should clean it, although it’s persistent.

I was wondering if TheAuditor wiped the driver and battery tube ends. But that should not cause the light to stay on permanently. That’s usually caused by a short in the driver or reflector. IDK, maybe it just needed a power cycle to start working correctly.

I just cleaned the positive contact and the light started working. There was nothing obvious to the eye but this has been noted in other lights as well.

A dirty positive contact made the light come on and bypass the driver and switch? Now THAT’s WoNkY!

Never heard of it, maybe I need to buy more lights…
