Review: Trustfire Mini-01

Is it possible to lose the reflector and shorten the light?

The light is quite short as it is, about 2.5 inch (63mm)

The head is all one piece. You’d have to gut it to get at the reflector. You could grind the tail attachment off and get a couple millimeters off plus get it to tailstand

Is this as bright as Jetbeam RRT-01?

I don’t know, but I’d love to find out! This is probably going direct drive, so it should be as bright but that’s just speculation.

This one really bright and had to ordered one even I had no intention to buy it. Have no source to measure it but I would say around 300L

Alright that’s it. I’m gonna buy this next.

What’s the best high performance battery for this? AW IMR 16340?

man, after reading this thread. its making me want one now too. this can be my smallest brightest flashlight heheh.

Yeah it would probably be brighter yet on IMR but it would drain the battery very quick, and they are not protected against over-discharge. I don’t have any; but I’d like to try it though!

i received one yesterday from easylightbuy.com. Its very bright on high running in on ultrafire protected 16340. Very useful low wich doesnt get to hot running it continious. Read a magazine yesterday for about 20 min in medium mode last night without any heat issues. Quite hard to handle though with one hand though because of the non aggressive knurling even though I lubed the dry threads. Not a big problem though. Quite pleased with the light. Nice finish on my light.

Just ordered one from easylightbuy too. Looking forward to seeing it in a month or so :slight_smile:

Last order took 11 days with CN post, previous order placed May 20 arrived 9days later. That one used HK post. Quick deliveries to Sweden I think :slight_smile:

ANyone tried to Mod this light with a 17mm NANJNG driver?
Thanks

EDIT:

Just realized that twisty lights use different type of driver, Now I have two of this that I can’t mod, Love the size and form. It would have been great if this have a lower low.

Got mine today and It’s a beauty,can’t wait to get home to see how mighty it is :slight_smile:

I will get back with lux readings :wink:

interesting this would have to be smallest and brightest lilttle thing ? when its 10$ i get some :stuck_out_tongue:

Just got a lux meter, and I think I can get pretty close on lumens/lux judging by known sources like my Zebralights. I am getting approximately 550 lumens on high and 80 lumens on low with this light. Around 2000 lux on high as well.

Edit: 533 lumens on high, 69 lumens on low.

Good to know Techmo!
I will order one soon, are you dajabec on CPF by any chance? :slight_smile:

Yep that’s me. I’m usually use dajabec on forums but I tried Tecmo on a whim and when it was open (shocker) I stuck with it. :slight_smile:

My Mini-01 arrived the other day. I ordered one after reading about them here :slight_smile:
They are a great little light.

I’m using LifeP04’s in mine.
I noticed the maximum rated voltage is 3.6volts. Is it safe to run 3.7v(4.2v) 16340’s or IMR’s in this light?

Cheers
