got mine today, I like it, I also like that the driver would fire up and give all three modes on an aaa I had in my van, the two spare drivers will be going in aa hosts with xp-g2’s for my two boys (age 1 and 2 lol) I shall probably badger rey for more drivers as well as I know of few primary/lithium capable drivers.
This light will be my dress edc so wont see too much use but will be nice to go with my dress pocket knife. 8)
I also now need to build another 16340 light as I dont like spare cells lying about…. :bigsmile:
It is neither lighter nor smaller than the Mini-01 to my surprise. At the time I got the 02, my 01 was attached to my car keys which were with the mechanic doing the annual roadworthiness test (MoT in the UK).
My Mini-01 (no cell) weighs 41.7g, the Mini-02 47.4g. The Mini-02 is about 4mm longer, but a hair less in head diameter. I can't find my calipers to measure how much smaller. Quick lightbox numbers on an IMR 16340 and the CR123 primary that came with the Mini-01.
Mini-01 (used) CR123. Mine is the high/low/strobe version
Low 69 lux 12lm
High 812 lux 146lm
TLF Mini-02 (used) CR123 - same cell as above. It is a neutral white version. Beamshots etc will have to wait till it gets dark.
Low 19 lux 3lm
Med 152 lux 27lm
High 671 lux 120lm
Mini-01 (Not fully charged) IMR 16340
Low 153 lux 27lm
High 1389 lux 249lm
Mini-02 (Not fully charged) IMR 16340 - same cell as above
Low 30 5lm
Med 372 67lm
High 1130 203lm
These aren't exactly lab-grade results but are indicative.
