Review: Trustfire Mini-01

How long do shipments usually take from China to the Uk?
I’m in Ireland. It usually takes 3-4 weeks, but a Solarforce light i got last week only took about 7 days.

well i got a keygos ke-5 which took 24 days…… came outputting about 100 lumens on high so i got in touch and there is another free of charge on the way… this trustfire says 11 to 24 days and the keygos replacement was shipped on the 19th last month so i think its definatly always going to be around 3 weeks or so to the uk.

Yeah sounds about the same as here. I think i just got lucky with the Solarforce light.

how much did your mini 01 cost you?? and which seller if it was ebay??

This is where i got mine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270983599351?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&\_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It came in a plastic clam shell type package with the battery and light. No paperwork or any card insert identifying the light, just a clear plastic package.
The light was perfect though with no blemishes, just needed the threads cleaning and greasing.

I’ve ordered from DX in the past with a track record of an average of 10 shipment days to doorstep. Waiting for supplier and getting the package out the door from DX was another issue :bigsmile:

I’ve recently ordered off of Ebay from a few suppliers and packages usually ship within a day or so. Now how long before they are received is another story. Currently waiting on 4 items to arrive.

Really looking forward to receiving this little guy. Having so much light power in such a small form factor is a great feeling.

My Mini took a month, but normally shipments are around 3 weeks. Solarforce is always quicker - certainly within 10 days.

10 days isn’t too bad then. Hopefully your mini-01 arrives soon :slight_smile:

Ill have to get saving and get another Solarforce or two :slight_smile: It’s nice not having to wait 3-4 weeks for a new light.
But i want a second Mini-01 first :bigsmile:

I have not even received my first one yet and I feel like ordering another. I almost know I will get a kick over this little light.

:smiley:

I broke down and ordered one from the eBay seller. I think it was $14.40 shipped. Anyone else buy from him? If so, how long to receive?

was it from trading_one?

Mine was from trading_one. Took 3-4 weeks to Ireland.

3 - 4 weeks delivery is nothing but painful for us flashaholics!!

It was rray009. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11400.m1842.l3160/7?euid=d51979e878c44474a3eae2534e5ae1ee&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D150866341110%26ssPageName%3DADME%3AL%3AOC%3AUS%3A3160

It sure is :smiley:

Mine was ordered from trading_one also. The long wait is indeed torture.

mine only draws 1.08 Amps on high , and 0.24 Amps on low , on a freshly new charged Trustfire Flame 16340 …and I’ve also connected a new Hi-Max 18650, 2600 mAh to the mini-01 , and the same thing , it draws around 1 - 1.05 Amps on high …

I can’t complain because it’s a lot of light for this little thingie … but it would have been nice to have a tiny monster, with double the output…

So , the question is…only mine draws ~ 1 Amp on high ?

How do I go about testing the current draw of my mini-01? I have a multimeter.
