I was planning on making a GT94x vs A1 video, but the comparison was so lopsided that I just made it a A1 video with a few direct comparisons of why the A1 is better than the GT94x.

Great review, thank you!
Cool. The A1 is in an entirely different league than the GT94X. Ones a toy the other is a processional tool. The price explains that.

It’s amazing how many people don’t realize that. I couldn’t agree more.

Yep. I tested it. Its amazing and im waiting for someone else to make one…
Nice review, and the light’s performance is really quite amazing.
What is the battery pack’s voltage/layout?
I cover this in my review: 4S2P, 16.8v max.

Hello and thanks for the review. I recently upgraded my MS18 to the MS32 and am loving it, but I have never had a good thrower. I am strongly considering this light. I think it is fairly equivalent to the MS32 in power and quality. Is this still your top pick? Is there anything interesting from any brand I should wait on to consider you are aware of before I pull the trigger?
We’re very glad to have you here, leaellynasaura!
Nothing else that comes close still if you want a high sustained lumen output thrower. The Acebeam K75 is probably the next step down.
Well said, I agree. The K75 if you want a lightweight sbt thrower, but the A1 is still king. It has a superior driver (mostly due to firmware) to the GT94x / GT98 line

IMO the firmware is where the GT94X is way better. Smooth ramping, configurabiity, can be upgraded, while the A1 has a very basic stepped only ramp. The main advantages of the A1’s driver is the high efficiency, the firmware is really nothing special.

One last question… For all of my Imalent flashlight purchases I was always able to cut a deal on alliexpress for about 20 to 35% off. I don’t see any vendors for this light. I think amazon has a $899 price with a possible 10% coupon at checkout? Anyone know of a better price?
There are sometimes deals for this light on Wuben site for ~690$ afaik.
The GT94X is an enthusiast flashlight whereas the A1 is a professional tool. The driver is optimized for long runtimes and sustsined output. It’s a lot easier to use (and has a remote). It’s in another class of quality and performance amd you can’t really compare it apples to apples.
