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

lol Dale. When the comment was made that your reflector must have been perfect to hit the water tower I chuckled knowing that our lights shipped at the same time and likely looked the same. My gt has the exact same surface as yours. I’m happy with mine. What is really great is it was suggested that the reason the warmer emitter version had less light on target was because it was probably a light with a slight op reflector. Looks to me like the light you swapped the cw emitter in has the same dreaded op ish reflector. Thanks for the pictures once again! It would seem the the throw of the gt is excellent with that reflector

Did you make sure that all of the batteries are fully charged?

I’ve read the manual and it states that the flashlight will eventually turn off at low voltage. Can someone confirm at what voltage does that happen?

Yes, all 8 30Q are fully charged.

Another confirmed arrival in Norway here. The first I knew about it was from the DHL guy standing outside my door with nobody home.

Shipping: DHL
With Batteries
100-something on the original list

Many thanks to the BLF team!
Just waiting for the batteries to charge now.

Are you sure that you did not get an opaque switch cover?

I have some info here.

It’s completely dark black. Must be opaque :frowning:

Does this work also with unprotected cells? If it shuts off at ~3.5V then it is fine.

If you ramp down then click off, the switch lights will be disabled. Click it on, then click it back off… switch lights should be on.

If in lockout (4 quick clicks) the switch lights are also off.

Tom knows about the switch light on off “feature”. I’ve done it many times on the Q8. When your ramping up from on or anywhere hold the switch from the ramping then quickly click it off. That should change the standby switch light from off to on or vice versa. The software on the GT is different and I played with that setting not my GT, just the Q8. Hope that helps.

Mine arrived in Sydney Australia yesterday, 1 day before the DHL estimate, ~3 weeks after payment.

What an amazing flashlight, it is great to see we can still make such high quality items at decent prices.

I could now use a cradle to mount it in a vehicle, also perhaps a snap-on cover to spread the light as an option; simply some accessory ideas from a happy customer - thanks to all who made it happen.

@DB Custom and lawallac
thanks, but no result. Switch cover is definitely not opaque, I unscrewed it.
It must be lighted, at least after successfull factory reset.

Yes low voltage warning works with unprotected cells.

+1, also prefer quality over speed.

After all the time & effort that has been put into the project, why to go wrong with last step?

Any information when registered 2 boxes with cells will be shipped to EU? Mike

Two GT’s already in Poland (DHL) (my and my colleague).
Impressive, beautiful, huge and almost unusable :wink:

If someone is looking for nice case here it is:




Still some room for other lights (UT02 on way)

Quality first!

I think a lot people were freaking out about shipping times because it seems many could not track their package and unknown to them if it even shipped yet. Many became upset that others were receiving theirs before them etc…especially those who had a better spot on the list. In the end we will all get our lights so just continue to be patient and lets not continue to make a big deal over this.

Let them do the proper QC checks without rushing them.

I think I speak for many when I say quality first.

Hey T/A get a hold of Lumintop and tell them don’t throw any reflectors out that look like they have a Light OP finish on them, there is a small market for them, I’ll take 2! :wink:

It’s just an idea

What about a list like the paid list, that shows who has received their light(s)?
