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

I have the 4-bay version of the Griffalcon charger from Mtn above, and I don’t really like it. Sure, it’s pretty, and when it works, it works, but the thing isn’t “set and forget” reliable. For example, when putting more fully-charged cells in, it will often read them as 4.2v and not charge them, and you have to disconnect and reconnect the cell multiple times to get them to read correctly. (verified actual voltage with my fluke) I really wish my nitecore i4 had a higher charging current.

+1 I have the same problem with my All-88 eight bay charger. Sometimes it takes several reconnects for it to get off of the 4.2v reading. Very irritating, but other than that, I really like the charger. Not the best charger for top offs. I also purchased mine from Richard. Wonder if it might be a batch thing or if they all act this way. I have so many chargers, I haven’t really looked into it. I mainly use it now to charge AA NiMH batts for my speedlites.

OK this is an argument …. but i spend so much money for my lamps ( 2 GT`s , 3 Conversion Kits and a little bit more ) so i decided 70€ on BG is OK …… YOLO :slight_smile:

Sorry, if I missed in last posts.

Are any converson Kits are shipped yet?
I got no info from DHL.

Thanks.

No verification that any have shipped AFAK. Don’t know if they will ship DHL either. Taking a ’wild guess’ I’d say no.

Thanks a lot.
I´m waiting… :wink:

The only update I have gotten since the holiday is they are working hard to get caught up on all the group buy orders this week. Generally I hear more so they must really be working hard on it.

One question.
Is it possible to use anduril firmware with BLF GT Driver?

The GT that is the Buck design? This is the GT70 thread so I wanted to clarify.

Your best bet is to ask ToyKeeper. She is the one that has the repository and created it (iirc).

I know Anduril can usually be flashed to the FET style drivers running NarsilM, but I don’t know about a buck driver.

It seems likely it could be made to work with the GT70, but it being 12v would require some custom coding. Same for 6v versions. I don’t think she has a 6v or 12v version right now.

I would ask her directly.

I just checked my notes, she does have a version of Anduril that will work with the original GT buck driver.

Batteries for my beloved Lumintop BLF GT70 NW, charging:

Do we have any info about modyfication KIT.
Still no shipping….

I just got an update last night actually. Forgot to post it this morning.

They have most of the remaining GT70 and conversion kit orders packed but they need some time to sort out all the orders, they are worried about making mistakes on the shipping so they hope to get them shipped next week.

I would prefer this then them rush out the door and possibly have problems so I was not that upset about the delay.

/\ … Thanks for the update TA, no worries. . . :+1:

For those wanting a different NW emitter Kaidomain has these….” XHP70.2 80CRI 4000k N2 bin”:http://kaidomain.com/Cree-XHP70_2-N2-5A-Neutral-White-4000K-CRI80-LED-Emitter?page=4

I have something from China shipped on Friday, delivering Monday. Don’t know what it is as it weighs more than the carriers I ordered and less than the GT70. I assume the weight is an estimate. Description is “sample of flashlight” like the first light, but who knows? I have absolutely no problem waiting to make sure the orders are correct, but would not mind waiting even longer if it meant we could get proper shipping / tracking info prior to delivery.

How would that be possible if shipping takes 3 days and getting tge tracking info takes 6 days? You see the problem, right?

About all you can do is make sure Paypal has your current phone number and email so that maybe DHL will send you a text or email before delivery.

It is possible. Neal ship my light on thursday ( china time ), and i received it on friday. Neal couldnt believe it…

Did you purchase through Neal’s site or Lumintopinline? By the way, Neal is tops and really helped me out. Shipping from him was perfect in speed and tracking info.

Nealsgadgets. Dhl is super quick… smaller package with the china post take 15 days… yea i am happy with it.
