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

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?

There is a seller on eBay named genuinecells that I have bought from several times. I have ordered 30Q’s, VTC4’s, VTC6’s, and NCR18650B button tops from them. Always fast shipping and great prices on cells.

Since I’m going to be using 8 cells in this monster… is there a better 8 cell charger than the nitecore i8? Or would 2 4-bay chargers be better?

Oha!
hast Du schon auf Taschenlampen-Forum.de gefragt was die dazu meinen? Die kennen sich eher mit dem Zoll aus.

I have a collection of 4 bay chargers I use for most things (LII-500’s and Opus C3100, although the fan on the opus can be annoying if you sit next to it).

For big jobs I pull out my custom 14 cell hobby charger :sunglasses:

I use my hobby charger too! Although this last time I was too lazy to set everything up, so I just cycled all 8 cells through my 2 Bay over the course of a couple days. Call me lazy or patient lol.

I think the best charger is the Enova GyrFalcon. Enova GYRFALCON ALL-88 8x Li-Ion + NiMH Charger
This is the only 8 cell charger that I know of that charges up to 8 26650s, graphically shows cell status, can do 4.35V cells and Lipos as well as NiMH, and can charge all channels at 1A. This charger is given a very good rating by HJK.

i8 will only charge 8 cells at 0.5A, has no graphic display, doesn’t do 4.35 or 3.6V lipos, will fit 4 26650s. HJK rating of acceptable.

Miboxer C8 ist good too. It has a bit lower charging current with 5+ Cells, but ist has 1.5A current for up to 4 cells. And it has automatic settings for current depending on resistance. You can also choose your own charging current.
But 8 x 26650 will not fit. Therefore its smaller.

I have the latest version of the GyrFalcon All-88. It’s by far my favorite out of the many I have.

That is actually a really nice looking charger. If I had it to do over again I think I would get that over 2x 4 bay chargers. Only advantage my 4 bay chargers have is the discharge testing.

I have a LiitoKala Lii-500 for testing my cells. It’s a great charger as well, especially for the price.
