I want! I noticed that when he first took it outside. I factored in the low ceiling & the fact it was white. But to not have 3 or 4 walls to reflect off of I think it has pretty decent flood!

[@dickiedollop]

it’s incredible how quickly flash lights have evolved - I can remember by crummy ever ready bike lamp which had the power of a glow worm 🐛 now we’ve got lights that’ll strip the paper off the wall !

Matt, your video’s are so entertaining, informative, in-depth, fun, educational, influential, & high tech. Matt not only are you an up and coming You tuber but you get to play with the most incredible LED’S on the planet....as a career. I’m obsessed with Light Emitting Diodes. They are just a marvel of technology and they have heavily influenced the actual styling of today’s automobile’s. They have revolutionized indoor residential lighting as well as commercial lighting from parking lots to adding safety to schools. They save a bunch of electricity hence money in every application they are used. There still is the challenge of extreme heat in certain kinds of high performance settings. I love that over $600.00 beast of a flashlight you did a whole video on. The built in fans are so intense and that thing seems to turn into a giant hairdryer! Anyway Matt keep up the great work. Philip

[@mortuus4601]

yea the lights shipped, looks like a fun solid light its pushing above 1250 stated lumens also so thats nice, should be a good thrower for that size, like a c8 on steroids.

[@mperuski100]

I just ordered one. I really need to stop watching you videos. You are feeding my addiction.

[@patdud1979]

The gt mini is my favorite thrower so far😁 I love small compact thrower they get more use then my 2 18650 light. I have mine program with only to mode. From off Turbo and press and hold from off you have strobe. I love how you can program the light the way you want it for my need these two mode are perfect 😁

[@tome6776]

Nice job once again on the review! Just got my Mini today, and love it!! btw, I got the same exact lumens at 30 secs as you did, but mine is a NW tint and was using a VTC5D Vapcell at 4.19V. Got a tail reading at about 6.36 amps, but the tailcap will still have losses from those 6.36 amps. The D1S has the better beryllium copper tail spring. I'm gonna bypass both springs, ripping out the inner one -- should help. I like the feel of the Mini over the D1S I have - don't care for the smooth battery tube, even with the rough finish gray. The Mini is slightly longer but feels lighter and least has the lanyard hole in the cap that won't prevent a clean tailstand. My PVC lightbox is a Rick/Rodney original we carefully calibrated way back. I use a 34% conversion, and use dark foam around the flashlight head to remove any reflections.

Why this mini GT didnt using led bulb cree xhp35 10watt, but using cree XPL 17watt, it will reduce the runtime more short

[@harrison00xXx]

you make me poor, after ordering a new LedLenser F1 white like 2 days ago (need white switch+ new Lens for my modded F1), now im in love with this minithrower and though: this is still a better investion than the F1 for spare parts, and its such a nice mini thrower with even more range than my allmighty TN35. but how can i use it now? i dont have a usage for it. I use flashlights mostly in abadoned areas, nightwalk in the woods and inside (abadoned) buildings, thats why my whole flashlight setup is very flood-based or allrounder.

[@FreakzRitual]

Ordered mine on that preorder couldn't afford the big brother at least I can still say I have a blfgt but mine is the mini me version lol

[@laurahunt7511]

Beam looks similar to the lumintop odl20c and they seem similar in appearance, I also have the thrunite v6 looking forward to see how they compare to one another so far the lumintop odl20c is the best! imo anyways good video

[@TheMw454ss]

I've got the ODL20C and love it! I've gotta pick up a mini gt now!

[@saiiiiiii1]

Catapult has more Lumens and 26650 cell vs 18650. Throw is almost the same with the Catapult pulling ahead a bit.

[@laurahunt7511]

Saiiii lol the lumintop runs on same type battery and this is my opinion sorry you seem a lil disappointed in the fact the lumintop is my choice when it comes to throw I really like my catapult v6 also just not over my lumintop odl20c

If you're interested in buying this flashlight, I would recommend the Astrolux C8 over it. If you want to compare go to 8:48 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX6taqyXfpqkf6M , and go to 11:26 in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/najFh4ele5uZlcU I don't work for Astrolux or anything, I was just surprised that the Astrolux, which is 20$, is brighter than the 50$ GT Mini.

I see a missed opportunity. With the recent popularity of throwers and success of the GT, they should have called that the “Micro” and made the “Mini” a half sized GT, along with a pocket sized “Nano”... I would have bought all three :)

[@damo250f]

[@Tanglaw777]

I'll wait til they update their gt mini to xhp 35 with added usb direct charging. To be a mini version must have the same led chip. I ll say no for now.

[@47Str8]

I do have one question. I can't figure out the timer for the strobe mode. Here's what I tried: Two clicks then hold. Double click to select the strobe effect I want. Then, three clicks to set 30-minute timer. But it still runs for more than two hours. How do I get it to strobe for only 30 minutes or an hour? Thanks!

[@ericn4008]

I'd love to see a comparison between this one and the Utorch UT02... I'm thinking the lumintop would be far better overall but UT02 might out perform?

I find your flashlight videos instructional and with enough explanations or know-how, good. Question: seven months ago I came across this flashlight while searching in the internet for a flood/thrower kind of flashlight, I saw the LedLenser P7 or P7.2 and P14.2, somehow these kind of flashlights can manage even light spill and a decent amount of throw light and most of them are not even more than 450 lumens except for one of them I believe it offers 1000 lumens, how are they're able to do it because they seem brighter than what they say, maybe you can explain a little more about it...hopefully. Ok thanks.

Dave R. A. - Here is a video explaining their Advanced Focus System. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmSue3dsgtmkoNU They are quite proud of it and charge an arm and a leg. Lol

[@harrison00xXx]

@@JasonWW2000 but to be real, ledlensers focus system is one of very very few focus systems which doesnt loose much output power (if they loose it at all?!) when completely zoomed. I also used a M7R X for nearly a decade daily now, and its very useful, but for proper light, i switched already to allrounder or pure flooder lightbeams and NW and/or Hi CRI ones. But if you only want to have one high quality flashlight for every use,zoomable Ledlensers are nice, since you got a perfect flood and a nice throw. At least my M7R X is still not bad compared to acutal 1x 18650er lights, only missing lumens (200-600Lumen is not that great, too high Low, too low High^^), which i can at least zoom out nice.

My BLF GT mini show very high temperature. When blf gt shows 14 degrees, gt mini shows 32. On standby of course. When gt mini shows 50 degrees and reduces power it's real temperature is about 30 degrees. I think that there is a problem with temperature meter calibration. Can you test temperature meter in your gt mini?

[@dbfcrell8300]

The clicky on the GT Mini ought to stay illuminated when the light is on. I often can't see it and have to feel around for it if I put the the light down or lose track of it's orientation. Do you know if there's an option to do this? That's why my other light is a Nitecore EC4S. Due to its shape, I rarely lose the switch orientation.

I see that the guy that runs the Parametrek website wrote that, "Lumintop is presently a 'never' (listing on his site) since they have done some extremely shady stuff." Have you seen any instances of questionable behavior? I'm leaning towards getting a Catapult V6, but the fact that the GT Mini is quite a bit cheaper makes it seem like a great choice as well.

[@Lumencraft-]

Hi Austin. Thanks for letting us know. My personal experience with Lumintop has been nothing but good. They have done a stellar job making the lights that were designed in cooperation with BLF members, and as far as I am aware there are no serous outstanding issues. Many thousands of lights made and shipped between the blfgt, gt70 etc. Did the guy from Parametrek happen to say what exactly his issue was?

I just got my GT Mini. I'm frustrated with the build quality for the price. The LED is off center in my sample and the front bezel of the head that holds the glass lens is glued on. I have 40+ flashlights and all of those I can change the glass if its scratched or breaks, not this one. I might take a torch to it and try to open the bezel anyway so I can try and get the LED to drop into the center. WHY GLUE!

Love your reviews and trust your opinions . Just bought the GT mini , and l need 2 rechargeable batteries and a charger. It recommended 18650 lithium ion button top batteries from a reputable company ( Samsung , Panasonic , Nitecore etc. Where can l get the best deal and acceptable battery, without breaking the bank ! What do you recommend for charger that can charge all the way down to CR 123. Protected is what they recommend . Is unprotected ok ?

[@Lumencraft-]

I like Sony VTC6 unprotected button tops myself. I use them in almost everything and sell them in my shop. The chargers I like are the Xtar SV2 Rocket because its fast. I also like nitecore D2 charger. Its slower but I like the voltage display on it vs the "fill" display on the SV2. I run the unprotected cells in about everything. The only reason I can think you might need protected for a single cell light like the GT mini is if the springs are not long enough to work with a shorter unprotected cell. I don't have mine in front of me to check right now....

Matt what was the kcd on the mini? I have the same meter i think and noticed it gives weird measurements when the 9v battery gets low which might explain your c8

[@Lumencraft-]

I've not had a chance to measure the kcd on the mini yet. As far as the readings I got shooting into the lumen tube, I got consistent repeatable measurements and no low battery warning, so I think that I must just have a 1-2 bin lower LED and less total current getting to that emitter.

Mine has 3 circles. The very inside "hot spot". Then a slightly larger ring called "corona" then a third ring that is much larger called "spill". I am guessing the corona is the circle you are referring to? If so this is normal for this light. It has more to do with the depth of the reflector than the focal point.

[@Lumencraft-]

You would probly need to do more than just change the LED and battery. Most often in order to get away with what your saying you have to add a zener diode to protect the micro from the extra voltage. In this thread you can see an example. www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?387383-The-IMR-Enhanced-Zener-Mod-to-run-the-MT-G2 You have to know which pin on the micro, diode value and sometimes change a resistor or two on the board also. If you want to do it I would ask some of the smart guys in the GT mini thread. They will be able to assist much better than I will.

[@JasonWW2000]

The real problem is that the xhp50.2 will likely burn up with a FET driver. They usually do.

Does this out throw the Thrunite Catapult V6 ?

on paper both say 750m throw but i think since the v6 uses xhp35 vs xpl i guess the extra lumens on v6 makes it throw a little more but doubt u see the difference..

Dazza I've got the catapult V6, and love the thing, but I just ordered the imulent R35 it's only slightly larger but is a beast, chose it over the TN40 and TN42 the 42 only has narrow spot, the R35 has more spread and 1,333 meters throw, check out the R35 as your top dog light, unless of course you like Thrunite, R35 is made in China but all reviews say quality made. Also as a lesser light to the V6 buy harbor freights the Qauntum 588 lumen flashlight for 12 bucks, good little adjustable spread or extend to throw the light, did I say 12 bucks.

@@matt7iron RT35 will be HUGE compared to the V6. But I'm sure you will enjoy it still.

G M my RT 35 arrived yesterday and just like car fob remote batteries someone put skin oil when loading my RT35 and it was flickering and would not work if I shook it, so a light damp cloth with rubbing alcohol to clean the battery tops and then I screwed it in fully tight and now no proablem, always use tweezers when loading car fob remote batteries because that skin oil will effect connection.

G M oh I forgot that RT35 is scary when you turn that monster on, even the lowest mode is strong.

@@Lumencraft- is the mf04s difficult to dedome?

[@Lumencraft-]

@@travis1118 I have not done one, but it would be fairly simple. The bezel is not glued. It is a good idea to take the LED/mcpcb out of the light to do them. You get a cleaner cut, especially on the 70.2
