Option 6
Like them all, or can’t choose, just make the GT thrower!

That is quick!

Only way to see the results is to vote?
Well, what should we (the designer) vote on? Our own designs? Or the I dont care option?

Yes I had it ready only needed your pics and post nr :wink:
dang hard choice, glad everybody can vote here.

vote for what you like best :wink:
seems logical that would be your own :wink:

we’re just voting on body style right? Not font/labeling?

Correct.

Just to remind everyone. Design 4 still needs some knurling on the battery tube! :smiley: :smiley:

All design are just awesome! Hard to choose.

There are three tabs at the top. One of the is “Results”

I like them all, but the one that stands out most to me and look diffrent from other makers and previous lights made is nr 1.
It has a clean look, less machining/ milling operations = Lower cost in true BLF spirit.
Lets make this the badass light it was ment to be, save on machining but not the innards like reflector and engine.

Great work guys!

From a manufacturing standpoint design 2 would be cheaper to produce most likely, it would need much less mill work.

I can not find the Box-Design :wink: :zipper_mouth_face:

It seems you’re blinded by the light…

Interesting as it looks more like option nr 2 needs more milling and option nr 1 is less patterns and grooves.
But i am no expert or manufacurer. It just seems more logical to me. But i will leave this to the experts.
I still like nr1 better for looks.

Keep up the good work

I’d say it’s approximately the same for all of them. For one design it’s cheaper to manufacture the head, for the other the body is cheaper and so on. My guess is that it evens out somehow.

Maybe Design 4 would even be cheapest since it has many straight surfaces and one part less. After that my guess would be Design 3 and most expensive are 1 & 2. However, I don’t believe that that would reflect in a significant difference in the overall price.

But those fins on number 1 is way of in my thougts….

Design 2 looks awesome, but how can it compete with design 5? I’m sure we can all agree that design 5 is quite evidently the winner here.

I personally like 1 the best, because I’m a fan of polarion, but I think the head cone needs some additions to make it not look so plain.
Polarion for reference:


Beautiful head design IMO.

Fritz design reminds me of the Surefire Beast II :wink: Just needs some Rubber Bumpers and the Ultimate Beast is born .
The BLF GT Beast !

Funny you mention the bumpers since the design actually intends plastic bumpers at tailcap and bezel :smiley:
