*** Lumintop Gt Micro (Brass) ***

This light is absolutely stunning. It's the world's farthest throwing 14500 flashlight that comes straight from the factory and it definitely lives up to that claim. The (ANSI) spec for throw is 810 meters with a candela rating of 163,800 thanks to the 29mm (ID) reflector and the CSLNM1 emitter making it a perfect combination that puts out a tight pencil beam with a beautifully defined hot spot, resulting in an overly impressive light considering its size. Since it's equipped with the NarsilM v1.3 UI, it offers more than enough features that one could ever need and is actually quite fun to play around and engage with. Being that it's brass, the weight of this light is obviously much heavier compared to the aluminum version which I also have but at the same time it also reassures me that I have something of significance in my hand which offers top notch quality and is ready to perform. The attention to detail like the double spring in the tail cap, the very responsive power button, and the machining on all of the threads which provide super smooth functioning all adds to the value of this light and represents true elegance.

With the exception of not having a regulated driver and onboard charging (which I don't even really need), there is absolutely nothing negative that I can say about this light and consider it to be almost perfection in my eyes. This quickly became my favorite 14500 light and I feel very fortunate to be able to add this to my line-up. This light is a true GEM and will be displayed proudly on my shelf when not in use. I'll be keeping this one for sure.
