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

boy, after 30 secs in the PVC light box, it's freak'n hot! But if it ain't hot, it ain't fun!

Hhhmmm, just like my peppers. The Carolina Reapers are getting close now, many full size, just not red yet.

What’s the latest timetable for this baby? I’m ready to pay! :money_mouth_face:

There's prep work in progress and Lumintop seems to be making it a priority, but I can't say what this means it terms of a time frame.

The Test PM just went out to the team a few hours ago. Once all the back end stuff is sorted out on that we should be able to get the ball rolling on the down payment PM’s.

We are still waiting for the final pictures of the updates from lumintop before final approval, my guess is the prototype parts are in production and they will send the pictures once they are done.

this is worse than Christmas, when i was a kid…… :smiling_imp: :smiley:

Or what I usually do — one to use normally and one to use for development. Or one to keep stock and one to mod. Or one to use and one to give away. Or more than one just because the really good stuff doesn’t happen often and tends to only be available for a short time. It took me a long time to learn to buy more than one when I find something really special.

Although i’ll remind myself all those possible justifications i would put it more simply: if the stuff is good, more then one is better then one. Of course that’s true of about anything if you can afford it. :person_facepalming:

Yeah, but the problem is that I am running out of room for all my goodies

I may build another house next to the current one. Problem temporarily solved.

EDIT: Decided to build another house AND to get rid of my family.

Thanks Tom. Looking forward to this one. Here’s my credit card # for whenever it’s needed. 2121 2121 2121 2121 expiration 12/21

I posted an official review of Giggles here for anyone interested:

I present you with Giggles, The ultimate LED thrower flashlight, from this point forward, you shall address it by it’s proper name. :blush:

Better build 2 houses and get rid of 2 families. “Temporarily” as a measure of time has a nasty habit of falling short… quite short of expectations.

MARK

AND list updated (core)

Now the test PMs worked, thanks so much to Mr.Scott and SB for doing it.

all as expected, so with the new core list, and a PM sstem that is working, Neal begin ready to process all the PMs and payments, it should not be long now.
Of course topic title will be changed to indicate the sending, a list of how the sending went will be posted and list of BLFers who made the down payment will be made by Neal and posted too.

Oh wow, spot 682 was empty, you should have been 681, really asy to correct this error

Hype!

Oh gosh I SO hope there is no hype and people do thinfs based on real Info, it is one of the prime reasons to show the whole process and not do things like teasers .
We try to post info ASAP and clear, being open about flaws as well as the good stuff.

I seem to have not got my name on the purchase list somehow.

Can I please be added to the list! :slight_smile:

Cheers :beer:

yes will do next time list gets updated

how can i get “giggle” laser engraved on the light, like the one above
it made me GIGGLE :smiley:

I have accsess to a laser engraver locally but they are becoming more and more common. If you look around it is usually not that hard to get it done. Worst case you could send it off somewhere, since only the tube would need to be engraved it would not cost that much.

Only way we could get it done from the factory is if everyone was ok with it.

Personally I REALLY like how it looks, really adds life to the light if you ask me.

The miller, you can remove my name on spot 67. I only want one and that spot was from before I joined the team. (Forgot that I was holding a spot on the list)

So I guess I made someone happy. :smiley:

Will the final kcd typical to all lights of this monster be posted before we are given the go signal pm thereby starting the 5-day buy window?

The reason l am asking is, for me, being already an owner of much smaller, lighter 1.034mcd aspheric thrower, l would hopefully expect this light to exceed it handily to justify the purchase of this light.

Perhaps at least 1.2mcd as earlier mentioned?
