Djozz light: 21 mtr = 832.167Cd
My light at 21 mtr = 1.142.190Cd
Mine at 13 mtr = 1.139.060Cd
Mine at 8 mtr = 1.142.336Cd
(We measured with Djozz’ calibrated Gossen Luxmeter and deducted the ambient light @ 61Cd).”
BTW: My BLF GT has a NW Led. VERY NW, bordering WW.
So with good binning CW it would be somewhat higer.

BTW: I’m thinking of modding the BLF GT with XHP70.2 and modding this new Astrolux with a small led, like Oslon BF.
Should do around 2Mcd with that. Just waiting for a reversed polarity driver for the Oslon.

You’ll be better off with Osram Q8WP. Intensity within error margin from Blacky but double lumens. The only drawback is higher power consumption which doesn’t really matter in GT.
Don’t get me wrong: I still think the BLF GT is a great light and unbeatable at the price for which we got it in pre-sale.
It’s just that whilst it has good throw, for the size of the light one would expect more and due to the output the spill has a blending effect on the user.
Hence I was thinking: either a bigger led for less throw but a lot more lumens (XHP70.2) or a much higher intensity led with a lot less spill so the throw
will be more useful.
Yes indeed the NW is better thrower at long distances. CW causes much more scattering specially at high humidity and fog. I did few tests in the beginning of the week where I compared NW and CW at long distances and definitely NW wins. Definitely much more detail, contrast, better depth perception and color rendition on objects with NW.
Can you post a side by side beamshot comparison picture between either the BLF GT or the Acebeam K70? Thanks! Another question, is the driver a DD or regulated? Would be awesome if it was CC regulated so it does not dim as batteries deplete…
