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

If I remember right, there was a SupFire light that had a handle that mounted to the tripod thread

Something iv been wondering is the Blf GT under driven? I have a current boosted Bkf09s that has ceiling bounce of 190 and with the GT I only get 145 max. I know larger reflectors have more reflector loss but it should not be that much. This tells me this led can be boosted a decent amount
Thoughts?

There are Add-On handles for coffee thermos's Something in the lines of these

Can’t tell you that, but can tell you this if you have a Q8.

‘To my eye’ the GT is much warmer than the Q8. Orange tint is evident in GT when side by side comparison done with Q8.

No…. I do not have pictures. :wink:

Good to see your not an Auburn fan.

Amen to that!! … :wink: Definitely not an AU fan.

Hoping to see a Bama / Bulldog showdown…. winner take all.

We each gotta get through today first though.

Good luck……… :wink:

Thanks nodoubt ,as much as 4000K look good on your outside beamshots, I really doubt that I will keep it.
So far best solution for me, like Kawi did with his, a dedomed XHP35HD.

How hard is dedoming on 35HD E4 1A,and what’s the best method?

BOOOOOO——— :smiley: :wink: ———- I hope they fair better than our Tigers

Niteye EYE30/40 had this! 25$(+ shipping)<-click the pic…!

A little on the steep side for what it is, but looks like a good option

I think that would be cumbersome, given the size of the GT.

Search Google for "Universal Grab Handle"

Ideally the handle should be made of plastic. As was previously written, holding aluminum in the winter rapidly cures one of the urge.

UPDATES: It appears that the first shipment went out by region instead of the exact order in which we paid for cost reasons. Initial quality has been fantastic.

The first shipment of lights (168 total) shipped on Dec 23. This was a pallet going to the USA from the first 576th person on the paid list that did not include batteries. Tracking numbers went out on Dec 27 and lights started arriving to customers on Dec 29th. DHL shipping was very fast.

There should be a European order going out in January.

The next group to purchase lights (#1000 and up on the list) will get their emails mid January instead of early January in order to let Neal get caught up with current orders.

That's exactly the reason for this link

Coyotehawk will add your name to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock.

Welcome to BLF.

You are already on the list for one light.

R/C I didn’t see a link.

same here alex
seems mine is a tad under driven also
i get 240 all day long on my tn42
both my gt lights get exactly 200, every single time
same xhp35, both lights very deep reflectors
i would rather mine be a tad over driven, and have to back it off manually, when the heat got a tad strong

Search Google for "Universal Grab Handle"

I think this type of handle would be the best for the application. Anti-scratch, adjustable, universal for other throwers, easily stowed flat, comfortable...etc. YMMV

There is more info in this link.

Maybe it was discussed before, but let me ask, for the people that already have the GT…

Where is the balance point (Center of mass) in the GT?
