The GT3 reminds me of the Hakelite MT03. The only issue with that light is Narsil only regulates downward but doesnt know how to regulate up. After minutes of use, the output drops down to 200-300 lumens and stays there. I hope this one has a buck driver to set it apart from the MT03 and to make the light practical.
How can we get Lumi back on track? Seems they got too successful. I bet even the nano sells. Understandable, it’s a beauty. But unfortunately buying low quality stuff cements low quality of the products, that’s why I sit on my fingers in front of the ordering page.
nano^2 / 10440 / copper MCPCB / $40 … I’m in despite the product being expensive.

If this is not DTP - shame on you Lumintop. And considering the reports of the LED turning blue, yeah, that would explain the problems.
I suggest that the people involved in the making of the original GT reach out to Lumintop asking them to either cease using the name - because the light does not seem to deserve it - or to up the specs to match the original.
I dont think community will ever be as involved in making their light as it was with the blf gt etc… i think they can do pretty much what they want today like they did cheapen out on the fw3a after the group buy and so on, its shame they didnt work closer with blf community on this light and others more.
it is, for this size its a unique light that can still throw good but lack of 10440 battery tube kills it for many since the included battery is like 100mah and nobody uses those really so runtims are bad…
