The BLF GT70 "Giggle Monster" is here! 7,500lumens, 1,500m throw! Group buy Closed!

I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It’s a great charger.

Finally, batteries all charged. What a light. Besides the intense hot spot, it has a nice spill, much more than the original. I also did a side by side comparison between the GT70 and MF04S. Both are NW. Lights are very similar in the size of spot and flood they throw, but the GT7 with 1500+ more lumen definitely dominates. :-)

Mine came in today in perfect condition - It’s nice but I’ll have to change the emitter for something warmer - too much glare for me.

still glad I got it. :slight_smile:

Sheesh. Just finished charging all the batteries. And that’s with all 8 charging at once lol. Ok so I turbo’d it to a structure about 250 yards away. It doesn’t light it up like I had imagined. The beam is nice and wide but I want more throw and am willing to sacrifice the spill. Do I slice off the dome?

That is about the only thing left. Slicing it off loses maybe 15% of the lumens, but it makes the hot spot a bit smaller and more intense.

Officially I am not sure what the runtime will be but based on the math I am guessing several months on moon and ~1-2 hours on turbo.

Slicing the dome should increase throw by around ~40-50% at the cost of the tint shift.

It does make it a fair amount more potent in the throw department for sure.

lol, Love the picture. I had a setup like that back when I was modding them…Then I sold most of them.

Maybe I should order a new LED/MCPCB to slice off the dome haha. Thanks guys. Loving it so far. This is so ridiculously large and heavy that I’m forced to use an air cushioned shoulder strap from a Nanuk case. The one that it came with is awful lol. Btw, it fits perfectly in a HF Apache 3800 hardcase with room for extra battery carriers and other small lights. $32 with a coupon.

These are not available seperately, only in a conversion kit. The leds are common, but the mcpcb is unique.

That gives me an idea what to expect, thanks TA!!

If you add up 8 x 30Q you get 6 amp hours at “12v”. On turbo it draws about 7A to 8A. If it could sustain 8A then you’d get 45 minutes of run time, but it can’t sustain that due to heat as well as voltage drop. As the voltage drops your amperage drops which extends the run time. So I think turbo would be at least an hour, not counting the cool down periods. This is just an estimation. I’m not sure when the LVP would kick in and force it to run at a lower level which would then extend run times further.

In the original GT it could be set to the 2A level and give about 2H 50 minutes with 8 x 30Q until lvp kicks in, but it would be drawing less than 2A near the end due to low voltage.

Wouldn’t mind seeing some side by side comparisons from some of you who have the GT and gt70. Beam profile etc.

Well i got my gt yesterday and it is awesome, a lot brighter than the first gt.I just wish it had a tighter beam.

I think I’ll order a conversion kit then. Thank you.

…I was beginning to think there was something wrong with my brand-spanking new Miboxer 8 until I figured this out LOL :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for the 30Q specific information.

Yeah I can’t see having the light on at full brightness for more than minutes at a time so this light can easily last me through my outings (multiple ones even) and just charge the batteries when I get home.

Thanks again.

I don’t know about that haha. I took my OG GT out camping with my buddy and we went out to the water at 2am and must have had that thing on turbo for an hour straight. That’s the first time I ever noticed it getting slightly warm to the touch and hearing the joints tink and pop lol. It was slightly hazy out and the effect on the water, trees, and clouds was just amazing.

About what?

Sorry I meant to quote this specifically
