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

For best results, tens to hundreds of Al layers are needed. As the last layer of aluminum, SiO2 is used. It’s better than silver.

Oh great, how relevant. Benefits of cucumber in a giant throw forum built flashlight thread.

Bloody spam.

Mmmmmmmmmmm cucumber & spam , arrrrrgghhh

Maybe the cuc makes a handle? Get lost when your cells die you have snack food?

A snack handle - this is a great idea. Would lumintop be open to developing this? If anyone has a vegetable cnc machine we can develop a prototype on…

Don’t quote the link for him!

I know I know, I shouldn’t have done that. But have you seen the benefits of cucumber in a flashlight

I always wonder about the shapes some plastic things have.
Why the shape of a cucumber?
Where they left with some free plastic molds that they used and turned into a flashlight?
Or did someone seriously say “Yes thats it we’ll put a flashlight into the shape of a cucumber”
“you know what throw on a life hammer”
“Roight jobs done well done lads”

edit: looks like a handcrank vibrator

hmm cucumber light. First active cooling flashlight?

I posted a link to this in the comments under the BLF GT unboxing video by VOB as well.

does any one in the UK know any modders dealers that could do the same job of altering the coolness… dont yet have the GT but I much prefer a bluer look

Looks like he has shut down

You forgot the silver cost. :slight_smile:

What tint light would best highlight my cucumber and spam sandwiches? 4000k, 5000k or 5700k?

Pretty sure it needs the be a rosy tint.

5700k , my favourite.

I posted this earlier but didn’t receive any responses. Not sure what forum protocol is in those cases so I’m just reposting here:

Forgive me if somebody asked this already, but is there any plan to make different types of heads for the GT? I feel like I just want to screw a laser on there and have this massive light saber. Or a head that is pure flood? I imagine with power like that you could make a light that would let the sun retire. And I guess it would be cheaper for anyone who has a GT, because no need to buy the handle. Maybe I’m just living in a fantasy world. I know nothing about what goes in to making one of these things. All I know is I love ’em.

There are no plans, that I’m aware of, to make different heads. There has been some (unofficial) discussion of spare parts (MCPCBs), but even spare parts are not on the table right now. All the focus is on producing enough BLF GT’s to meet the current signup list.

(I suspect the tube is much cheaper than the head anyway, so there would not be that much savings. If you had two GT heads, why not get the second tube so you could use / compare them side by side, assuming most of the cost is in the head.)

What, cucumbers?

Pickles would make sense in a flashlight forum:
