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.
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.
I have to say, this is a really fun light. Already a few friends asked about it. When I pull it out of my pocket, I get the “Yeah, real nice” and smirk (my wife does that too - drum roll!) Then I put it on turbo bathe something a couple hundred yards out with light and they freak out! Feels real solid too, like it would withstand everyday use. All in all a great value considering the very reasonable pricing…
Yeah… mine says it “shipped” to. I even got a Tracking Number that tells me a “Label Was Created”.
Now all I have to do is wait for it to actually really “SHIP” to begin making it’s way ever so slowly to it’s new home in ‘The Heart of Dixie… Alabama’.

I’m not asking for technical stuff, just how long will it run from turbo on maximum thermal setting until the lvp kicks in for example , it may of been posted before but I haven’t got much time to spend to search , I don’t plan on getting one but I’m just curious,I could do that on my D1 to compare if anyone is interested.
It has to be kinda technical because we need to understand what level the output drops down to. This has a big effect on run times. Plus with it being a FET driver, the output is constantly falling.
I would not recommend Turbo to LVP. That drains the battery fast. Maybe from Top of Ramp to LVP would be more practical. I have a lumen tube, but no data logging equipment. I’d have to sit there and watch the lumens drop with a stop watch and note pad. I don’t have time for that.
I can probably do a simple timed run with one of my two batteries tomorrow. We know the output will slowly ramp down with voltage so I won’t need to measure the lumens.
