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

Yes please :slight_smile:

more than likely will contact him when i eventually get my hands on a GT LOL

quickie protector
had to run to town, its raining, wanted to take my light, my red neck genius kicked in
hey, better than nothing :wink:

nice diff user too , might hang several of these on xmas tree next year :open_mouth:

I doubt that.
I assume they get rough casts in reflector shape and then machine it.
Otherwise it would be a huge waste of aluminium, time, energy and tools.
Sure they recycle the machined off aluminium, but recycling those bits with machine oil and surface oxidation into the same quality alloy is costly too.

Let the debate begin, which material will protect better? A cotton blend or wool?

Been travelling for over a month and just now paid for my pre-ordered GT and batteries! I just moved to Hawaii and have a few miles of private beach to test it out on!

LOLOL ~!! :smiley:

I think wool is more translucent than cotton fibres

Were you still able to get it at the $115 total price?
There was a deadline of 12/31 for the special price folks to pay.

No one recieved any lights today?

Any tracking notices?

They must be out playing with it instead of posting about it. Lol

This was extended a few weeks ago when no lights had shipped as many were waiting to see reviews before buying.

A new date was not set but we should figure that out soon. Likely we will change the password for that link next week.

So then I assumed correctly. The money is in the head.

Why are they using square stock? Round stock closest to it’s OD would be cost effective? It would scrap less material and can easily be turned in a CNC lathe.

Are you sure there using square stock for a round reflector?

I assume the link you speak of was intended for early buyers on the list?

I haven’t received any link for payment yet and hope I didn’t miss something?

The 3rd round of PMs has not been sent yet. (3rd round will start at #1050 on the sign-up list.) The PM will have the link to buy the BLF GT.

Where did you hear “square”? No one said that.

raining out im bored.
just shot the lux meter with the gt on MOONLIGHT
it was 1000 lux at 4 meters on moonlight :open_mouth:
probably more if i shot it at 10 meters.
crazy light :stuck_out_tongue:

I am guilty as is Flashem of picturing a “block” as a six sided object with square and/or rectangular sides.

Now that I have the GT light in hand, I can appreciate this prototype design more and wish it can come to reality someday…

Nikolas said, “big peace of aluminium block”… I assumed the word “block” was “square aluminium stock”.

I assume he meant to use the word “stock” instead of “block”. Meaning a solid piece of material. Block could be any shape now that I think about it.
