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

Thanks Dale to comparison pic CW and WW stock GT.

Any tutorial how you changed GT led?

I like the CW. Makes me want to change my GT

Sure looks to my eyes as though the cool white is putting more light on all areas of the target. All items in the pic are easier to identify in the CW shot. Thanks for the comparison.

I agree. The CW does look like its putting more light downrange. Not enough of a difference for me to want to do an emitter swap though.

Good deed, J0sh. That's telling them. Whoever it is/was causes a lot of issues behind the scene here.

IIRC, I remember reading of this happening in other sales here. People that share stuff like that have no morals at all

Get out the chastise canes!!

I’ll be the odd man out. I like the pic with the warmer emitter better. Reaffirms for me to keep it stock, at least until a new generation of XHP35 comes out.

Thank you very much for posting. It’s appreciated.

+1 and ban him from the forum…

I feel like we need to find this “Thomas King” confiscate his light and give him a swift punch to the testicles!

Bad Form

I agree his order should be cancelled if it’s not processed yet. And he was further defending his position with no regard for others. The biggest harm may have come to those at the tail end of the GB when it’s down to who gets the last of the 1,500 lights.

I respect that this will be dealt with privately in any event.

The post on flashlight fanatics has been removed. I don’t know if it was by the original creator or if it was removed by an admin.

I’ve been waiting 10 months for this and then see him send me the same link I got in PM is bs…

SMH :person_facepalming:

Ironically, he has a recent FB post defending the right of a business to refuse service.

Since orders are getting cancelled due to the information leaking the way it has, can I be added to the list? For a 3rd GT :D

My saying this is jokingly, but if I can get a legit/guaranteed spot on the list to buy another one, then count me in for real.

Thanks Dale. Looks to me like the middle picture (CW) wins the light on target race.

Nice pictures……. :slight_smile:

I knew he was doing something shady, but I never pm’d him because I already have my light. I thought maybe he had registered for several extra lights and was selling at a high markup or something until you posted what he was actually doing.

I was trying to point out the other day about possibility of uncontrolled ordering from people registered here in December.

Unfair, totally unfair

I am so close to the F word right now…

The fact you already have your GT, and you thought them to be doing something shady, should have clued you in, what to do. But you did not. Wow.

That comment would get multiple clicks of the "dislike" button from me

Sorry for the size, no easy way to resize them here, just scroll the page to the left a bit…

Yes, running the light with 4 good cells will only make it work at full power for a shorter time, but it will reach its full potential. How many volts it exactly needs to stay in the full regulated output will even vary between examples, mostly due to variation between individual LEDs’ Uf and to a lesser extent on minor differences between losses in any individual circuit. Battery type, condition and state of charge will make more difference in regulated runtime than any of those.

As Texas Ace mentioned, it is possible to run the light with 4 good cells and 4 low performance cells, a practice that can not be officially recommended due to a common tendency to misunderstand, but will work. This will be almost the same as having the carriers fully loaded with good cells and superior compared to making use of four cells only.
