Review: Trustfire Mini-01

Thanks a lot for joining, tungsten2k. Welcome to the show!

I used to live in San Jose. If you don't mind me asking, which part of the San Francisco Bay Area are you from?

Thanks- I live at the top of Mt. San Bruno above the Cow Palace in Daly City. I’ve lived all around the bay, including several addresses in San Jose… weather is nice down there, but night life leaves much to be desired.

One nice thing about San Jose is that all outdoor lighting in the Eastern area is required to use Low Pressure Sodium lighting in order to limit light pollution from affecting the Hamilton Observatory; that means that your high-power lights (and lasers) will show up even brighter :wink:

update apologies she said the boss said they wont make any more for 13$ now…
:cry:

would someone like to show some beam shots of their tiny monster. maybe do some side by sides…

Here’s a beamshot of my Mini-01 running on a 3.2v LifeP04. Ill try a beamshot using a 3.7v 16340 later and see if the difference comes through in the photo’s.

Nice one, Matt! :cowboy_hat_face:

Cheapest is $16.22? I think easylightbuy has it for $15.05 with free shipping anywhere.

I confirm the 15.05 + free shipping at easylightbuy.com.
Should somebody contact them and ask for an offer?

Still haven’t received mine. Easylightbuy gave me a tracking number which shows it hasn’t left China. I mentioned this to Jacky, their sales rep, who checked with China Post, and said it was on its way. That was a fortnight ago. He promised to send another if I don’t get it in 35 days, but that is looking increasingly unlikely.

Not sure what to do - even if another is sent after 35 days, I won’t get it within the 45 day Paypal dispute period.

Any thoughts?

And of course, it arrives the next day :slight_smile:

Nice light, heavier than I thought, but threads need a good clean & greasing. I’m a happy bunny again.

Now, where’s that Klarus MiX6 Au from Dino that was allegedly sent on the 6th

Good to hear, ordered mine yesterday J)

Good to hear it arrived.

I found that once cleaned and greased the threads were great with no battery installed, but i think the pressure from the spring is pushing the cell into the head and causing friction on the threads as they turn, so the operation still isn’t as smooth as i’d like. Pushing the head into the body as you turn helps.

Same?? Or not?

Looks the same but chances are you will just receive a coin. :P

I think its the same light.
I’ve seen them listed from 280 lumens upto 1000 lumens.

I bought one 2 days ago. The seller has good feedback. I’m willing to take the chance at that price. We’ll know in 3-4 weeks of it’s the same or not. I was just about to come here to tell you guys about this seller. I bet the price doesn’t stay this low for very long.

darn, i was gonna buy one too. he removed it from his listing already

I got mine from here . Took a long time, but don’t think that was the sellers fault - they did ship it pretty quickly. Lots of geographic restrictions (no Germany??), arranged non alphabetically to make it a pain to look through.

The light came in a clam shell package, with a CR123. Only $9.03AU. Oh, and it’s 3 mode - H-L-Strobe, not 5 in description title (description in body of sellers details correct).

Edit>> Sorry, I’m confused - I’m taking about different light (C3, AA). I’ll take my medication and have a lie down. Well, it is warm in London today.

Look what I found in his feed back comments regarding a differnt product.

“Wanted more money after the auction. At least money back.

Sorry, set wrong price, have refunded you fully”

Now it looks like there’s a chance he might not ship the light. I’ve recived positive feed back from him already but the light is still not marked as shipped yet.
