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

Do not put too much on my numbers yet. That meter shorts the M3xs as well.

Trees at the end of the lot is 500 ft/150 m away. ISO100, 2s exposure, manual white balance, unedited. Set of so-so cells from my M6, photo does not do it justice:

that’s actually very nice, just the rightsize at such a distance. definitely not going to have to worry about blinding people(not those who shouldn’t be expecting a beam in their face anyway haha) when pointing somewhere further downrange.

Hold the press. My 3 meters agree, but the cells were sagging and the buck was not in regulation.

A set of 30Qs at 4 V gives 10600 lux at 10 m. That is 1.06 Mcd or 2.059 km of throw.

So a confirmed 1mcd! Not bad at all!

hurrah! my spare GA’s are impatiently waiting to unleash their true potential with this monster :smiling_imp: the beamshots i’m going to take when the GT starts rolling off the line….

that head with a short tube look awfully wrong but i like that. :stuck_out_tongue:

Finally dark. Exposure increased to 5 s, and I think this is closer to what the eye sees. Tree at 500 ft / 150 m.

Do you have a picture of the short light being hand-held ? Also, is the short tube going to be available as an accessory?

Could you please add me to the list for one. Thank you.

Thanks DEL for the update. Hopefully I’ll have a stupid grin on my face tonight.

Don’t panic. There’s plenty of time and no one is taking money at this time. Maybe you can get a fellow countryman to walk you through it.

Thank you for the update and pics DEL! :beer:

Yes thank you for the pics. Beautiful beam profile

It looks like you’ll need maybe 50m for a good lux measurement!!! LOL :smiling_imp:

That is awsome news about the light DEL! :laughing:

With the short handle, it really looks similar to the BTU Shocker. Maybe this would be a good light to engrave that hand symbol on…

At the very least, it’s a good light to reach out and touch someone. :smiley:

Looking good ! I mean kinda ridiculous next to M3X UT but smile is on my face.
Now that unknown XHP35 makes 1Mcd, so what can we expect with 3d tint since in TN42 neutral white makes 10% less cd, and in UT02 even more.
Lumintop did a grat job, but we must make sure that highest bin xhp35 will be used in production.

The LUX values were measured at only 10 meters. Wait until somebody measures at a greater distance. Throwers often need a longer range measurement because the beam doesn’t fully collimate until further out. I’m still expecting somebody to measure an actual 1Mcd+ even with the 3D tint emitter, by measuring further away.

I will be adding my thoughts and pictures to this thread on the GT over the next few days.

Best put me down for one. My dear old 80 year old father wants one. :slight_smile:
Please dont tell mum. It may well end in divorce for him. :person_facepalming:
