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

My feelings are opposite , just sayin’ if I am out camping and see a bear I don’t have to know whether it is a blond or a brunette to know it is a bear. I liken it to anything painted in an “off white” color paint. It looks like a dirty white to me and I like my whites white. Just sayin.

Please add me to the list!

@Texas_Ace

Thanks forma tour detailed explanation about the XHP35 HI NW chosen for the GT

After so many posts and tests I do see you know what you do and what is better, way more than me.

I also know you'll choose whatever is best.

Perfectly fine to me, thank you!

I'm very excited to see this project goes to production process soon, when all the very high details that the Developers and Testers have taken care of get the approval, to get my hands on it! :)

Hope to get it early next year!!

PS: I won't be able to make any mod, due to some personal limitations (I can't do that kind of things anymore), so I'll use the GT as it will be sold

get me on the list for this thing :smiley:

I want to be the first in australia to own one
Fingers crossed

Sorry Kendo but hardly, you can get one for 150$,but first 555 people that already made reservations should get it first…

Please add me to the list

Of course i dont expect to be the first to get one i just hope to be the first in australia if no one has see these yet but i just want to be on the list
Id like to know if i can put a deposit down on one

When will they start to be available

Payment details are not set. Once production starts and it gets close to buying time you will get a PM telling you all the details. What store to go to and what special code to enter to get the discounted price, etc… We may even need to do a small deposit before that. It’s still not known.

So for now we wait. :smiley:

Fite me M8

Please add me to the list. Thank you.

It may be the shorty prototype but it is still giggles :wink:

Cheers David

That shorty one is really funny looking. The more I look at it the more I want it. But just for the fun, for practical use (as far as the GT is practical… :smiley: ) the normal tube is much better.

Hey the Miller, change that topic title! :stuck_out_tongue:

But that would only work when it’s tail standing? The tailcap isn’t part of the electrical path. The carriers have to loose contact with the driver. Or what do I miss?..

I totally agree, they should make a shorty tube accessory option. As impressive as the Giggles beam will be, bringing out the shorty would be hilarious. :smiley:

The short tube makes it wayyyy out of balance to the point of causing wrist discomfort/pain fairly quick, my wife needs both hands to hold it without discomfort. (minds back above the waist level please)
However I am thinking about using it to make a 3 carrier light, 4s3p, and pushing a xhp50.2 hard, that way any decent (matched) cells will deliver enough power :smiling_imp:

Cheers David

No kidding huh, out of balance, who would of thunk? :smiley:

I do not care, I would still like to purchase it if it becomes available, along with spare parts too.

Can’t you hire a Donk for the heavy work? :wink:

Thanks for the kind words.

I will post my full thoughts on this LED later with the beam shots but based on the currently available options I think this is the best option. In a perfect world I might pick a slightly different LED for mass production but those LED’s are MIA across the globe right now it seems and would cause significant delays if we tried to get them.

I can say that this LED easily threw further in the real world then the cool white LED, by a fair margin.

Although I think people may have misunderstood. This LED is not high CRI (sadly), it is a min 70CRI (which is better then the 68cri most lights use) LED, the tint is simply better then most LED’s and the output is surprisingly high.

What I meant was that once you go neutral white the only place left to go is high CRI neutral white.

That knurling looks so nice on the battery tube. Seems a shame to machine those flat spots over it
