Official Group Buy Now Live! Lumintop BLF GT94 4x SBT90.2 20,000 lumen 2400m Throw monster!

lol, that would be because I copied the first thread to make the 2nd. I will get that fixed.

Hey, you fixed them.

Excellent!

(It's weird how little things like that bug me.)

Yeah, I have never claimed spelling is a strong suite for me, spell check doesn’t work in the title bars so I tend to make more mistakes there then normal. Plus I have gotten lazy over the years and just assume spell check will catch even the mistakes I notice when typing lol.

I just pre-ordered from the link that is posted in the middle of the first post of this topic thread. I want to see for myself how the throw compares to the R90TS. Also, I have never purchased from Nealsgadgets before, and I have never purchased from Texas_Ace group buy before. Also, after a almost four year wait, this is the first light to have both significantly more throw and significantly more lumens than the X65.

Thank you, everyone, for making this King of power throwers possible!

Nice collection! This should be a fun light for you.

Expect some delays in getting these shipped out due to supply chain issues but it will show up at some point lol.

I hope the GTX490 is on the planning table. A quadGT90 making for a 250mm/10” head??

The Imalent R90TS will step down to 25% output after 1 minute and will definitely not have the throwing distance of the GT94 even at startup. And then what throw distance will you get after 1 minute? At least the GT94 will have a sustainable output.

Thanks for your info. Soon, I will see for myself how this light compares with X65 and R90TS at turn on, 20 seconds and 45 seconds. I like to classify lights based on max turbo at turn on. I don't run any of my lights on max after they begin to feel hot. When that happens, that is what lower modes are for. :)

There are not a lot of sources for unprotected button top high drain 18650; and solder blob tops may not all be the same length, so search shows choices of Bat. Jun. Ultrafire 2400 mAh, Illumn KP 2900 or 3200 mAh 10/20A, Neals 30Q 3000mAh, and Adventure Sports/VOB VTC6 3000 mAh. I decided to go with ordering 8 x VTC6 from VOB for this light.

Got DHL tracking number for my GT94.

Neal just informed me there was a mistake in the assembly line that put orange peel reflectors in the GT94 by mistake.

They will be sending out Smooth reflectors that you can switch yourself if you desire. The hardest part of swapping them is opening the head, it requires a strap wrench to get it open.

After that it is a matter of being really careful to not drop the reflector on the LED’s (holding the light upsidedown and pushing the reflector up carefully while watching is the best option).

I received mine today. Def got an orangepeel reflector. I can’t get the damn thing to turn on though. I’m hoping its just an issue loading this battery carrier. I’m using 8 30q batteries I pulled out of my OG GT.

They are button top cells correct?

Watch the VOB video for the GT94, he shows how to load it, give that a try.

An easy way to know if the cells are the issue is to test the voltage between the button top of the carrier and the outside ring, it should be ~16.8V with fully charged cells.

They ARE button tops, but maybe not the most buttony of button tops. I jacked the set of 30qs from my gt70 with smaller buttons and now the 94 works. It just didn’t like that first set of batteries. Is lumintop sending the polished reflectors automatically or do I need to contact Neal?

Pretty sure it will happen automatically but more details will be released once they have the reflectors I am sure. It will be a bit before they can get another batch made as I understand it.

I got my extremely awesome GT94 on Oct 19, but since there are three topic threads for this light, just on this one forum, I did not cross-post here in this topic thread. I am thinking about getting another one of these extremely important lights for my other hand, so I can see for myself what the insanely superlative beam looks like with one of these in each hand. Is the GT94 still currently in production? If yes, are they currently being produced with smooth reflectors?

Yes, they are making them still. No word yet on the smooth reflectors. I have not gotten a reply of any kind in a few weeks.

Don’t feel bad, but suite and suit are different words to. The term Strong suit comes from cards. It helps to consider etymology or the word or phrases root origins. You could also add Grammarly for browser spell check support.

The funny thing is I know those are different words but didn’t know where it came from or which one applied to which context lol.

My Mom teases me that I used to both have really good handwriting and above average spelling (never was good though lol) but I forgot how after all these years working with computers. To be fair she is not wrong.

We all have strengths and weaknesses. Grammarly is a godsend. I always had excellent comprehension, spelling, and a way with words.

What I lacked was the ability to use proper punctuation and structure. I still need work, but have improved a fair bit.

It can help anyone and before you know it, those red marks start guiding you to improvements.

Yep, we sure do. I am way past feeling bad about it lol.

I always excelled at the more technical things and tended to just let spelling and grammar be “good enough” since they didn’t really peak my interest past being able to communicate with others.

I will give Grammarly a try, the privacy implications are a little worrisome from some quick research but can try it out for a bit as it looks like it would indeed help. I have wished something like that would be built into firefox for a long time.
