TrustFire Minix impressions

Fairly certain it’s glued. I would have loved a 4000-5000k white led

it’s all glued or at least wedged together[interference fit]

I’ll have my video review sorted soon. It has very impressive range, I just feel like the low mode is too bright

The runtime is far below the specs. I got 150 min on Low instead of the 327

I supposed removing the rear cap was enought for pull out all

that is probably how they put it in, from rear cap - but if there is glue it will not come out whole

Thanks, good analysis of the problem. Steps down too late. The energy management is apparently not perfectly working to meet the stated specs.

That wouldn’t explain why low only got 150 minutes for the 327 stated. I feel like they recorded the moonlight as well

I’ll measure low on mine, but that will probably take some days.

I really like the light, but wish there was a lower level in between. I’m often using the red because it’s less bright than low

The lightmeter went out at some point, but the specs are met. This is relative intensity vs. Minutes, low mode. Seven hours later it was still on moon, LED indicator showed yellow.

Your minix might have too much output or too little capacity.

Strange. I measured the battery at 255mAh from a run on Low. Still had battery left to run on moon for 4+ hours, so guessing it would be fairly close to the 300mAh rated battery.

Yours is the UV version. Mine is the Red version which could very well use a different driver

Thank you for your testing. Slightly annoying that the UV and Red versions perform differently

Finally finished

Nicely done, thanks!

Hi… are the UV strong enough to check the currency notes?

i would say yes though it should have a filter on it, to block the visible blue that comes out

it is not super strong, daylight would def not work

inside a building probably

the orange and pink currency marks are easy to see

the blue not that much

I was using UV for checking my own currency (inside of the building), but don´t know how it works with USD, hope that is will be the same :smiley:

Comment to MINIX in general: I have only one problem with MINIX… When i have it on my keys, something sometimes press button and it switch on by itself and run out of energy… but I have lot of keys :smiley:

2 clicks to enter lockout mode

i have NEVER had mine come on unintentionally

It really works, thanks, I am stupid :smiley:

Want try to contact Trustfire for ask if there will be an upgrade for this MiniX
Dual button, ramping mode from sublumen for both Leds and warm high cri + Red Led would be awesome
