Review: Trustfire Mini-01

The stainless steel C3 looks good to me - takes 14500 OK, and is 93mm long.

The Mini-01 looks OK too - that came in the clamshell pack, without any dings or scratches,with a CR123. Not bad for $9, just a little tough to operate one handed with the threads. Can’t get a Trustfire flame 16340 in there, but no biggie. Might end up in the car as an emergency light -only good use for a strobe, for me

I noticed the other day when trying to track something on HK Post, that they have draconian regulations concerning lithium batteries - like USPS. You must have been very unlucky, because I would imagine virtually all dealers ignore such rules. You could ask them to post it again without the battery, I suppose.

Rules here.

Same crap just happend to me too. This guy is a joke. I swear he looked around at the other listings and realized how much cheaper he was selling it for and decided to cancel all the orders.

Mines still in transit… any chance of an outdoor beamshot? :slight_smile:

I’ll do an outdoor shot tonight and post it here.

I bought mine on ebay for $15 delivered, and I love it…great little light. Anybody have a protected 16340 that fits? My trustfire grays won’t do it.

Cheers bro, look forward to it :slight_smile:

I bought 2 Yezl protected 16340’s to use in the Mini-01. They are about 3-4mm longer than a primary or LifeP04, so its a bit harder to screw the light back together because of the tension on the spring, but they fit. Width isn’t a problem. The Yezl cells are a little wider than a primary/LifeP04, but still fit fine.
I can post an ebay link if that’s ok on this forum?

Ordered one on ebay too. Now for the long wait.

Go for it, we’re more laid back here than say… cpf :slight_smile:

Strange, I have zero problems fitting my Sonshine or Flames protected 16340s. I guess the tolerances can vary a lot in these lights.

Will do :slight_smile: . Unfortunately it’s only just gone 5pm here, so it wont be dark enough until about 11pm .
Edit: Oops, i thought you were referring to taking a beamshot. I’ll have to read more carefully next time.
Here’s the link to the Yezl 16340’s http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290739416253?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3397wt_1154

np :slight_smile: Thanks for the link

Here’s a couple of outdoor beamshots. They aren’t great, and only close range, but you can get the idea of the flood by comparing the light on the fence panels in each shot.

Nice beamshots MattSPL. This is going to be my new EDC when it arrives.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yep, very handy little pocket rocket.

I thought I had bought one too.
Seller is just messing with us.Give him a bad feedback?

Hi, I bought one and it is a tiny monster!
If a driver repacement is needed, which do you suggest?

Very impressive, thanks! :slight_smile:

No problem :slight_smile:
