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

:+1: :+1: :+1: :smiley:

Woot woot, new information to drool over.

Thanks for the quick recap of initial thoughts.

I just saw this…
hope im not too late.
please add me to the list.
im in for 1 light.

I guess the gt is so small that we need an indicator led to find it in the closet. I almost always deactivate indicator leds if possible from my flashlights. Not a huge fan of something I personally don’t use, especially when it introduces more places where potential problems or failures can occur. I have a feeling that at least some q8 team members would have preferred thorfire’s “gift” of double led indicators been left off since most initial problems centered around those leds. Then again Lumintop is a horse of a different color as we say on the farm here.

The indicator on this light did not appear to stay on when the light was off but didn’t look too close.

Also it can be disabled in the firmware IIRC.

Same here… 8 GA,s about a month ago.
Gotta have them so I just got them while the getting was good…… …. :wink:

Oh yeah……… it’s coming. :+1: … Have that $$$$ ready. :wink: . :money_mouth_face:
Pre-Stage pretty much done …. easing into staging. :wink: .
We just don’t want to jump the gun and have a RED Light……. :person_facepalming: . :smiley:

Some progress at last! I hope this prototype will be good enough for mass production, I can not wait any longer.

I am in

Great news

When miller change the thread titlle, it will be hot thread again… :slight_smile:

It is not looking like I will be home early enough to mess with Giggles tonight. Hopefully I can find a little time before heading out in the morning to put it through it paces.

The new version of NarsilM to be used in the GT has a “tactical” mode. I forget if it takes 5 or 6 fast clicks to enter and exit the mode. Anyway, when your in that mode the side switch acts like an instant on switch. You can blink out Morse code, etc…

The K70 is a Thorfire based light using their own driver design and software. It uses one green and one red led for voltage indication.

The GT is being made by Lumintop and using NarsilM. It is not able to use a seperate color led for voltage. It will have the batt check feature, plus the main led blink when low voltage protection gives a warning.

Can you find out if this latest prototype is using the new NarsilM v1.2?
I think Tom E just recently finished it so I don’t know if there has been enough time to send it to Lumintop and for them to install it.
Maybe Tom can give an update on that?

Thanks everyone.

Please add me to the list. Thanks!

Please add me to the list, totally down to buy 1.

Please PM me the price at the time of my posting… (tried to read through the posts but not really sure where I place in the group buy. I was going to 100% purchase a TN42VN but I found this right before I clicked purchase… I will definitely buy one, thanks.

Xenovora

Currently the group buy price is $150 shipped.

Put me on the list please.

Hi DEVELOPERS TEAM,

I'm already in the list and recently got up to date with the design thanks to The Miller's 1st updated post.

I checked it and was wondering:

  • Why the front glass was changed for a plastic one?
  • Is it AR coated in some way? (it would benefit the flashlight efficiency & throw considerably)
  • Have you thought about making a thread at the front to attach a diffuser? (like filters on photography lenses)
    It would be VERY helpful to give more "flood" light, if the user wants or needs it.
    I have it on a Acebeam K60 and works great
    (I don't know the exact diameter and thread dimensions it should have, 120mm or more I think, maybe it would require a custom made filter, but it would be GREAT to have the option...)

Maybe these topics were already discussed, but I'm almost new to the project, which I found AWESOME, so I decided to get in immediately.

Thank you very much!

PVCC lens are glass 2,5mm thick double AR coated not a plastic
