If you pulled the rubber cover out completely you should be able to take a small flathead screwdriver & slowly pry the retaining ring up by going around it from the inside & gently lifting as you go until it loosens & comes out.
My GT mini registers clicks only when pressed hard and about half the time. Tried rotating the rubber and it didn’t really help. Banggood refunded me a few months back so you can tick my name off the list. Is there anyway to fix it or do I have to replace the switch?
Well right now there’s no led in it. I was planning to put a white flat in there but then thought what would be the point if the switch stops working. Is there any place I can buy a new driver?
Anyone have throw numbers and/or beamshots with a dome on XP-L or even XM-L2? Looking for a further throwing “walk around” light (and willing to sacrifice throw to loose the pensil beam it has now with the SST-20).
The form factor is ideal [to me] for camping / hunting / hiking in heavily wooded area but the tight spot and minimal spill make it not good for that. I’d rather it be a usable light than a shelved mini thrower.
Second the motion on the LH351D, they trend towards a larger hot spot that looks clean, artifact free, and work great in a light like this! I like the 70 CRI W6 at 5000 K, it’s a soft white high powered emitter that never fails to impress me even ( or especially) in the lowest modes.
I actually just got done doing exactly that, went with a W6. It’s better, will definitely be more usable but still not what I was hoping for…
If I could get the same beam shape (albeit a lot less reach) as my FT03 that’d make it perfect. It’s [the FT03] hot spot to spill ratio is just perfect for the heavily wooded areas I frequently camp in but it’s to large to take on minimal backpacking trips and I don’t need quite that much lux 99% of the time.
I wish there was any 5050 led with a better tint (xm-L2 or SST-40 or 3v XHP50.2) and without the yellow corona and/or power ralated tint shift! Still, it’s WAY better for my needs than the CW sst-20 it had (back when I was going for pure performance / numbers)
