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

Let me see if I can understand.

You never saw any green light from the switch, even though the main led works fine?

You were able to unscrew the switch cover, but it is or isn’t opaque?

Opaque meaning solid, so no light gets through.

It should look like this:

If light does NOT go through your switch cover then send a PM to Texas_Ace and he will see you get a new one.

Ps, do your green leds light up?

They are a lot weaker than on the Q8.

Hi can anybody help me ?
Contacted Team Giggles on 8 Jan 2018 about my request for a 3.GT + batteries which did not show on the final list.
Got a fast reply same day asking for the links of all my requests. After I spend 4 hours last night searching for same,
I am totally new at this game, still learning and today writing a long letter trying to reply to their question,
a message came up that they don’t take any messages anymore.
Can anybody pass on my message to the Team Giggles that I requested a 3.GT + batteries
( ID 1229241 ammofox Search Within Thread Author ammofox ) and ask them to get back to me in a way that I can reply to.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards ammofox
PS: I don’t know how to contact how to contact JasonWW or Texas_Ace directly ( totall amateur as stated before ).

The group buy ended on January 5th

Every reflector with look like that with just the right lighting. My reflectors look excellent but if you get the light angle just right they will look like that also. Your reflector is just fine.

Your’e exactly right mine looks really smooth looking at it but i you get the light just right you can see some lines. I measured 1.2 mcd at 15 meters so it doesn’t really matter the thing is a monster thrower.

Now do what? 500 just for the led? Where is this at?

His requests for 2 and then 1 more were back in November.

Ammo click on your name and then “my posts”.

Yep

And additional request for a 3rd GT: [PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping. - #9272 by ammofox

It can't hurt. The biggest reason I wanted one was just to keep dirt and dust off it but I have been thinking about something similar to give added protection. If you use any kind of wood I would recommend painting or sealing it to get rid of the dust from it.

Ah ok, sorry. I was just going by him saying he contacted them on the 8th…

I plan to do the same thing but use a piece of plexiglass instead of wood

you are on the list for 3 lights

ammofox [1215 1216 1762]

you will receive a pm in late january about payment and shipping

do not worry you ARE on the list.

if you go to the first post then press ctrl+f and enter your username you will find yourself on the list.

Just look at page one of this thread.

Post #5 has a new completed list of all the sign up requests.

You are shown as requests #1215, #1216 and #1762.

This list is not showing whether or not you want batteries, though. Anyone wanting a set of 8 batteries can easily add them to their shopping cart at the same time as they order their GT.

For those curious about the best way to remove the switch cover, a pair of snap ring pliers is your best friend. I have a set with multiple tips that can apply force in both directions. This style of plier (the blue one) can both squeeze together or squeeze apart.

They are only $4.99 at Harbor Freight Tools.

These are not super high quality, but I doubt you will use them very often. Every flashlight modder should have a set.

I’ll have a handle proto tomorrow. Had some water freezing issues and a 44,000psi leak to deal with Monday - Tuesday. Played catch up today.

It a 19mm diameter cob style led. $379 without the heatsink. It has a 35 to 39 volt input and does about 450 watts.

It would not be suitable for any type of thrower as the hotspot would be huge. You would probably get 500 to 600 meters from it in the GT (my rough guess).

Good lord! Makes the cft90 look like a spot of mustard on a white shirt. Thanks for the link. Teats on a boar hog.

Im dying in anticipation,
So many great reports from those who have there gt’s
Im in the next 500 i hope,
Even though i havent recieved mine yet

I would like to ask for a second if its possible

This is a standard Narsil feature, but it should have been in the manual anyway. Just added this to the FAQ in the support thread:

  • The GT has low voltage warning and shut-off. At what battery voltages does this happen?
    • At 12.0 V (3.0 V per cell) the GT will blink the main LED and step down in power. It will do this repeatedly until the battery voltage recovers above 12 V.
    • At 11.2 V (2.8 V per cell) the GT will blink rapidly and shut down the main LED.
      Note that these voltages can be ~0.05 V per cell off in either direction, depending on the component tolerances and temperature. These voltages are monitored under load and cells will read higher when removed and measured outside the light.

These numbers are from the NarsilM 1.2 source code, but I did also confirm them using a power supply on a production light.

Thanks for posting, hope the reflector complaining goes down after seeing this. Have to blow up this picture to see good.
