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

This is the first lens I’ve heard about breaking.

Even when some GT’s got dropped in shipping and dented the bezel, the glass held up.

Going deeper will probably have a negligible effect on the candela. A little, but not a lot. I think it was Enderman that showed me on the main GT thread why they chose this depth. It’s a good compromise.

Changing the diameter is the main thing. This makes all the difference.

Wow, that is the first I have heard of anyone breaking the lens I think in any form. They do over tighten the heads for sure, I have told them this but the option was keep tightening them the way they are or add glue. I chose to leave things the way they are since at least with enough effort the head can be removed now.

You might see what the cost to get one of the plastic lenses from https://www.flashlightlens.com/ would be shipped to you, might be about the same price as lumintop sending you a replacement and you would get a better lens that should not break in shipping. Would not hurt to at least mention the option if the price is reasonable.

I haven’t received my NW light or tracking info and don’t know if I am in the minority or the majority. Of those who purchased the NW GT70, how many of you have not received your light or tracking info?

No one has received tracking information yet. That won’t happen until next week at the earliest.

I am not sure on the percentage that have received their lights.

@orangepeel
I’ve received my light, but no tracking info from Lumintop. I did receive tracking info from DHL a couple of days before delivery.

I also ordered extra cell carriers. There´s no info on those yet.

tracking number came via phone call wed, received my NW (with cells) friday

How is the flood on the GT70 model? I had read that the light actually had a decent amount of flood want to check that out before ordering. I know it isn’t a flood light just wonder how it beam looks, I apologize if there is beam pictures I have tried to go through this whole thread and haven’t seen a beam profile picture yet.

Check out the video in post #2.

The spill light is just the light directly from the emitter which misses the reflector. So if you have 7500 lumen on turbo, you have 7500 lumen worth of spill light. It will light up everything around you.

With the original GT, you only have about 1800 lumen of spill lighting, which is noticable dimmer.

Just ordered my NW and a CW conversion. Was gonna wait until after we moved to the new house but said to hell with it and am having it shipped to my brothers. Didn’t wanna risk missing out on the GB.

Probably a smart move…… :+1: . . :wink:
As long as your brother is trustworthy… . . :smiley: :smiley:

Is the GT70 NW a cooler tint compared to the GT NW? Got the 70 last week and comparing the two the 70 puts out a whiter light. Could I have received a CW by mistake?

Yes, GT70 is 5000K and the GT is 4000K.

Thanks, Great light!! Any opinions on Eastshine 18650?

They look way overpriced to me, from what I saw on eBay.

Only buy batteries from known reputable sources.

Well I have tried to fight it for several weeks, but couldn’t do it anymore. Purchased one through Nealsgadgets, the individual is top notch on communication. Glad to finally be joining the GT70 owners.

Complete newb here. I have watched yt videos on BLF and have a few BLF A6

Do I buy the light AND the conversion kit? OR is the conversion kit only if you want to upgrade a previous GT?

I don’t have a GT and just want a kickass light

Just the light, the conversion kit is for converting an OG GT. Welcome! You’re gonna love it

Got mine in…NW, no battery. Account hasn’t updated online but I’ve got it.

I also didn’t realize the battery issue… so I guess I will have to splurge. Went and bought some more batteries. And a Q8. And a couple new charges to get all 8 batteries charged.

Flashlights… WHY do I love them?
