Strange that it is not dropping to the top of the ramp on yours, I tested it on my light and that is how it works.
Now it does start ramping instantly, so most likely you will ramp down a little before you release the button thus giving you a slightly lower level.
Thanks TA. It still seems like it steps down further for me but as you said, I’m likely holding the button for too long.
Thanks again for the info on this and looking forward to the next new project from you.
GT70 = IMPRESSIVE
My GT70 arrived today. Tracking says it left China on the 3rd, China time, and got to PA on the 4th, east coast time. That was even with an error on the shipping label. Way to go DHL.
Fantastic light. The construction looks to be flawless. The light output both in lumens and profile is far better than expected. As Texas Ace has been saying all along, it is much more useful in real life situations than the original BLF-GT. It will definitely get more use than the original but both lights have their own uses that they excel at. I can't wait to have a longer time to play with this Giggle Monster.
Many thanks to all those involved in producing this and in pushing for the 70.2 version.
Yea… blf gt xhp35 is not a big deal any more when you turn on the gt70… so much light… i still like my xhp35 version for the xtreme throw…
Am I wrong, or couldn’t you dedome the xhp70.2 and get slightly more throw than the OG GT? As well as more otf lumens than the OG GT? Kind of the best of both worlds? I think this is my plan.
You could try it… all the people i talked to tell me xhp70.2 dedome give horrible green tint…
My BLF GT arrived today but it was damaged in a way that I cant use it. Should I PM the OP?
Wow, that is really odd for a DHL box. You would need to contact Leo or Neal next week when they get back to work from the holidays.
I assume you mean upcoming Monday?
I don’t know about the NW version as I just received it today and want to test it out a bit before I de-dome so I can hopefully compare the tint shift but the CW version didn’t have any abhorrent tint shift to me.
I’m not overly fussy when it comes to tint except for when there is blue or a very orange/yellow tint so you may see the green that others see or are annoyed by and I could just be ignorant to it. The only time I ever thought it was greenish was when I ramped up from low on a white wall but that disappeared at the higher levels IMO which is pretty much where this light will see most use for most users so I think it to be a non issue.
All of that is moot anyway unless you have opened the sucker! I broke some strap wrenches the day I bought them. A few days later and I picked one of these bad boys up and had a bit of a struggle but it was only due to the sheer force they use to close these lights!
Yes. Oct 1-5 is a holiday, so expect a response after the 7th.
Cheers!
Found my GT70, DHL left it 5 houses down the road in the garden.
Light is fine, looks pretty impressive too 
Look like someone opened the box before you even got it.,
Wow, that is really strange. Was the box damaged?
I find it hard to believe that kind of damage could of happened inside the padded box they are using.
I agree, unless the box is in really bad condition this does appear to be a case of a customs inspection gone bad sadly.
Still, contact Leo@lumintop.com and show him, he should be able to sort it out.
If you can remove the head from the light engine (there are threads inside the 3rd fin), they could just send you a replacement light engine worst case which would be much easier.
I ordered the NW conversion kit before I realized I wanted to dedome it for max performance. If anyone can confirm the NW has worse tint shift than the CW, I could just grab a CW emitter from mtnelectronics and flow it on there. Or not, especially if the tint is only visibly shifted in the lower output levels.
I agree it’s crazy hard to get that head off!
Hello again.
Just recently I got a message (from the customs) that the light is in “customs custody”. They shipped the light to the market surveillance which tested (or inspected) the light regarding to the product safety, Copyright, etc.
They came to the conclusion that the light is not importable at the moment (in this state / as of right now). They base this on the (EG) 765/2008 regulation.
The customs didnt recieve any more information.
They said that I have to communicate with the market surveillance from now on to sort things out. So I will send them an E-mail.
It would be nice to know (for me) if they shipped my light in two pieces. I saw this a few times in the past with other GT (70) shipments and this would make sense for me (CE logo is only on the tailcap from what I know). That could be a reason why they refused the light.
But I dont know what bothers them at the moment.
It may be the lack of a german Instuction manual, it may be because they dont believe that the light is CE / RoHS compliant.
But these are just assumptions at the moment.
But I think that the above mentioned regulation has to do with the CE marking (on the product / on the packaging / in the instruction manual).
It would be really great if you could help me with getting the information needed to satisfy them.
Otherwise they will destroy the light and I have to pay the customs & DHL fees regardless. 
That was quite a bit of work to get the money needed for the light.
And (as a student) I dont have ~500$ to spend for nothing
Im shaking right now. Why always me ? Bad things like this happen to me all the time…
Wow, that is really strange that they would not have the option to return the item to sender worse case?
I am in the USA so I have positively no idea what could be causing the issue, we never have issues like this, at most they might open the box and/or maybe try to change some fees or delay the delivery.
The light should of been shipped all together in 1 box and the CE marking should be on the tailcap and in the manual, although the manual is in english far as I know.
Past that I really have no idea what they would have an issue with or what they are looking for. I know there are dozens if not hundreds of other GT’s in Germany and this is the first time I have heard of this happening.
I dont know. I think that this is really strange. I will wait for an answer to my E-mail from the market surveillance. I will keep you updated on this.
I hope that this is just based on a mistake or Something.
Sorry for my bad english btw., im just really confused at the moment.
Not a problem, I would be confused and upset as well. Completely understandable. Plus your english is really quite good. :+1:
