Some items on Amazon are not sold by Amazon. This was one of those. I have no choice really as I don’t want the light and I paid $50 for this sucker. I’m still mad at myself for doing that. I’d actually feel better spending another $20 to ship it back for a refund than keeping it for $50. I feel like I got swindled by a used car salesman. Jeez I feel like such a jeep.
50$ ? wow thats a sick overprice, these things should cost less then 30$… sorry u got ripped off 
Not as sorry as me, heh. I feel like I went to the car lot to buy a Mustang and the dude sold me a Pinto. Worse was I bought it.
dang
comparing beamshots of the BLF X5 (Astrolux S3) vs the Lumintop GT Micro (neutral-white)
Left beam = BLF X5 / Astrolux S3
Right beam = Lumintop GT Micro (more intense/focused hotspot, warmer tint)
Thanks for the video. I prefer the warmer tint myself, but as you mentioned, more intense/focused hotspot is also a plus in my eyes. I went with the Micro. Should be here today from Amazon. Not bad considering I placed the order yesterday ;). I ordered from Lumintop Direct. Only $32 with the 20% off Amazon coupon right now.
So I had ordered the Micro a few weeks back when it was $26 on Amazon. Two weeks later, I cancelled the order, as it hadn’t shipped yet. What kind of store cannot manage to ship a product over a two week period? Oh well, I’m sure I’ll end up buying something from a company that can get the product out the door.
Amazon: “Only 2 left, order soon”.
YOU order soon. You’re the store.
Was it from the Lumintop Direct vendor or a third party?
Later,

Exactly. I ordered mine on Amazon from Lumintop Direct and had it in my hands 2 days later. Couldn’t be happier.
Hmm, that’s odd. I got mine on the 8th. Not bad, 10days or so door to door.
Did it show as in stock at the time?
i will point the Lumintop sales guy here after CNY
It showed in stock when I ordered it. It even showed in stock after I cancelled the order. I would have tried to order again, but the price wasn’t $26 anymore. Strangely, I had also ordered a pair of sunglasses for color blindness and the same thing happened. Maybe the Amazon gods are angry at me for some reason…
To the lumintop sales guy: lower your prices and I’ll buy a gt micro & gt mini. Or fix your quality control and customer service problems.
yep around $26 usd works for me too , other wise theres too many other options , like C8+ sst40 for $20
For what you get for the money, it is hard to beat the C8+ sst40 for under $20, that’s for sure. However, I do feel that a more apples to apples comparison would be the C8+ vs the GT Mini and not the Micro. The Micro being smaller and utilizing a 14500 cell sort of puts it into a different category IMO.
The ’micro is great for taking people by surprise, though. You whip out this dinky little “toy” flashlight… and light up a treetop a block away. 
Take that, Coast/LEDLenser/Maglite/Energizer/OtherStoreBoughtBrandLights.
Yes it is! Been playing with the Micro all weekend. With the right cell, about as much lumens as it’s bigger brother, Mini. Many neighbors were very impressed by the mini. As am I, of course. 
the gt nano would be even more cool if its ever gonna be released.
True….any word on when it may or should be announced/released?
