Lumintop GT nano on the way

Weak light is not always the same as low drain unfortunately. The average flashlight firmware is very sloppy and let a lot of current bypass the led at the lowest modes/with switch led on.

In Narsil and Anduril this is sorted because the writers (Tom and Toykeeper) made an affort to reduce parasitic drain as much as possible.

The Nano uses some form of Anduril right?, in that case you may expect low parasitic drain.

Looks like copper and brass are on Lumintop’s website

Thanks, dk! I have just ordered the GT Nano in brass. They are slowly selling out. Neal’s has already sold out, or have so listed until they receive a shipment. VIP5 coupon code saves you $5 at Lumintop.

Ordered copper, VIP5 did not work for me. I was hoping a 10440 tube for copper and aluminum would be released at the same time, but no. I’ll hope for those in the future. Usually I’ll wait for a better price but I lost out on the GT micro copper that way so paid full price.

Sorry the coupon code did not work. I had clicked on something (Dashboard - at the Lumintop site) that offered discounts at $50, $110 and $400 and clicked on “Get Now”, which is where I got the code VIP5. Apparently it only works through that link. I understand going full price - I too have lost out waiting for a better deal. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But even at full price it is a nice and unique purchase.

For that coupon code, go to ‘your account’ at: https://lumintoplighting.com/account/
Available coupon codes should pop up. You may need an account. And you may or may not need to click on “Dashboard”. It took me a while to figure out how I did it. Clicking on the $50+, “Get Now”, should give a coupon code, VIP5, saving $5. It says good 10 times. Sorry you didn’t get it for this purchase. That one expires May 31st.

It’s OK, it’s done. You’re right, it is pretty unique. I knew if I didn’t get it I’d probably regret it.

Out of curiosity just checked Lumintop site and the copper/brass GT Nano appears to have been removed. If sold out, items are usually just marked “sold out” but not removed.

I just checked and under “new arrivals” they show 23 and 31, copper and brass, available.

Interesting…I just checked new arrivals and other catagorys again and it’s still gone from the site. Maybe my location?. Weird. Glad I got it yesterday even though I have a hint of buyer’s regret.

but no 10440 tube right ?

Not that I’ve seen. Without that it’s just a toy for showing off occasionally. But it is fun.

people are discovering various aaa bodies that fit the nano head also

thrunite Ti3 original model (not the new V2):

Lumintop aaa tool original, not the latest one with a Tir lens:

Nitefox aaa:
this review shows the nano works with the nitefox body

and I suspect for the copper nano,

that a copper aaa maratac, tool, worm, prometheus beta body will work, but have not confirmed

.

I wonder what would be the shortest compatible tube…that tool one looks really out of place.

for black, the Nitefox is the least expensive and as short as other twisty aaa options

for copper, the maratac on the right is shortest:

.

the Ti light in the picture is a Thrunite that I believe is the same size as the Nitefox, but have not confirmed.

I see, thx. Too bad that this Nitefox tube is $20 when shipped to EU.

The discontinued Thrunite TiHi fits it perfectly too and is short if you have one of those around.

I agree it is not inexpensive to add an AAA black tube to a black GT Nano

I hope you discover you already have an AAA body, that fits the GT Nano head

the copper AAA tube (Maratac) costs even more
but I already have a copper Maratac
what I dont have, is a GT Nano, so I cannot confirm it works

resisting…

Yeah, the Nitefox looks like the way to go. Looks like it was made for the Nano and is now offered at less than $11.00 with the 10% discount on Amazon.

I’m resisting as well.
And I think I may keep doing so until Lumintop gets their act together and releases a longer tube as well.
I’m not sure really. But the light is expensive and I really don’t feel like paying a lot for a light that could have been much more than it is. OTOH I realize that they may never cave to our demands and by resisting I will just lose out.
