[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Nice beamshots no doubt!

ty sir :+1:
forgot to say, all these are modded
tn40 = 470 k lux
tk 61 = 500 k lux
tn42 = 775 k lux

so if you figure the gt is going to hopefully be 1.2 mill lux give or take
thats 400 k lux or more, over the tn42
might set that tree on fire if im not careful when i do beam shots :smiling_imp:

I’m interested in one please.

LOL, I’m afraid that’s not going to pull it off…

Nice to see the head can be unscrewed. I’ll wait and see if I can make an easily swappable MCPCB or Pill incl. driver once I lay my hands on it. But it’s pretty nice as it is right now. Although WAY too huge ofcourse :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree to get the max throw out of this thing with XHP35, just for the throw numbers of the whole project. Modding it thereafter with XHP70 should be easy enough (and very tempting!)

yes will update list later

wall shots, troubled driver, kicking in LVP all the time, stills from the video showing the issue so nowhere nearly as bright as it can be run when issues ar resolved. Also note in proto a HD and not a HI XHP35 is used. I just tried to ake screenshots for the hotspot already looks pretty tight, good for a first proto and with such huge reflector

Ang this is thus also a XHP35HD not the HI yet

Wow, finally beamshots! Apart from the beam, the rest of the flashlight looks very nice too! High quality!

beautiful tint! not far from full scale production then i suppose?

Ok, can you please put me on the backup list ? I have no use for this light at all, but can’t resist.

Yes will update list later

OP updated (including topic title) with

from proto with lots of things to be corrected, on low modes and with XHP35HD instead of HI, but still they are the first wall beamshots

Isn’t that technically a floor beamshot :wink:

Mwah. Not sure. It is a French beamshot. People there sometimes put wall-paper on their ceilings :stuck_out_tongue:

French from China??

Might be the floor of Great Wall… :smiley:

Very strange that LVP kicks in with buck driver, my assume that battery carrier might be a problem…

wow, at this rate the GT will be in our hands ooner than the Q8. Lumintop sure goes fast with this one.

A little birdy told me that protos could be being sent out for inspection soon……

The driver issues turned out to be a simple issue with the wrong firmware version being used, I figured it was something like that. A very easy mistake to make and very simple to fix.

Yes, Lumintop and Neal have been a joy to work with, at this rate it just might beat the Q8.

It will be tripod-mountable i believe? Thought i’d read something like that.

Yup.

Yep tripod hole is there

Cool! Due to the size it’ll be the first crew served flashlight in history; someone to carry the tripod and another to carry the light.

( ex-military will get it, maybe. I apologize for the way my mind works. I still can’t quite get over the massiveness of it.)

For those not wanting to lug a tripod and the light there’s always this idea: http://powerpictures.crystalgraphics.com/photos/view/cg1p77428059c/maxim_s_machine_gun_model_1910_30_on_a_wheeled
