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

Awesome. An Giggles :smiley:

I’ve not yet had tracking so yeah, EU seems like a false alarm unfortunately.

I know a manager at DHL. He told me all packets from China are charged with extra costs, it’s company policy..... but they are fast, and that’s also worth some money

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.

Could you please add an date of the Update besides the word “UPDATES”. Thanks.

It’s always the latest. Updated 2 or 3 times a day assuming there is any new news.

Which xhp35 hd E4 should i get for GT ? I’ll probably dedome it .

Edit : Just saw min order quantity is 500 for all of them . Any EU / China source for E4 hd or E2 hi ?

i really want this beast, please put me on the list.

Here's to hoping, and

U.S. shipments w/batteries are expedited this week.

It is generally pretty hard to change the owner of a post, I know when I used to admin a few sites we tried it a few times but always seemed to cause more harm then good. But then this site is custom made, so maybe it is not so bad.

No harm in asking I suppose.

Not sure the cost but the led alone is $138. id guess the mod to be 300ish

For a driver you need a typical “single” cell fet driver , and carriers modded to 4P . These would cost 20$ to 50$ …

Oh la la,very cheap I see…
I hope somebody will show us someday beamshots of such a modded light. :slight_smile:

Please ask and make a try.
First I would delete all old version of the post and maybe other related data. Then I would change the owner/creator.

LATEST NEWS: Same as last couple of days.

Does this help?

Lund1660 did your dad have it on turbo? If I remember correctly there is high mode but a double click yields turbo. (anybody, am I correct on that?)

This site isn’t really custom made, not from scratch. Its Drupal, almost certainly leveraging their pre-made forum module. Its customized a bit I know, maybe enough to make something like what was suggested a bit easier, but I’m sure there’s still tons of “stock” Drupal code running here. And yeah, doing something like changing the owner of a thread isn’t usually as easy as it sounds.

Yep, top of ramp is 2 amps double click is 2.5 amps.

I went back a few pages, but I guess not far enough to find my answer. Lights with batteries haven’t shipped right? I requested DHL and paid on December 1st and am #81 on the list.
