SBT-90.2 in the BLFGT (FACTORY) Fom Lumintop!!

Crazy! Thank you for sharing

What is clicking in video?

Looks great. I feel like the heat sinking on the GT is better suited to handle the heat but it obviously a heavier light too.

27 amps in a flashlight? Scary! Time for an extra long battery tube to feed that beast.

Will there be a kit available? That would be so nice!!

+1 for an upgrade kit. I’d be very interested in one for both my GTs.

Will be quite a kit, including 3V battery carriers, new driver, new centering ring.

And thank you for another good review Matt!

Is this why the gt4 seems to be taking forever?

How much?

I see in my future…. another BLFGT shelf queen… :smiley: :+1:

Nice video vob. A pleasant surprise indeed.

Here’s another vote for the upgrade kit. Please let them know for us.

Thanks for the video, these are really good news about the BLF GT.

If the SBT90.2 emitter would be available in at least 80 (but preferably 85-90) CRI, and not just around 6000K, that could make even better thrower flashlights (I’d probably go for 4500K in this case).

The BLF GT as a host is really something - it is getting nice upgrades over the time.

This emitter could also justify a (let me call) ‘BLF GT Mid90’ variant with 100mm diameter reflector (instead of 120mm) and 2×3×18650 battery carrier (supporting flat top batteries out of the box) - and probably around 50-60% weight of the original BLF GT.

Been waiting for this one. About double the candela of the OG BLF GT! This emitter is really impressive and this host is what is required to fully maximize its potential.

Waiting for 4 of these in the GT4.

I hope both this and the GT4 are available soon.

That’s not as much as you think due to it being 3v. 27A x 4v is about 108 watts. The 70.2 version was about 8A x 15v or 120 watts.

Are you sure? I think the xhp35-hi was about 1.2-1.3Mcd and this version is about 1.8Mcd. Not really double, but definitely more, plus a bigger hot spot.

Great video Matt (as always)

I had to laugh, i have the same experience :smiley:

You and me both!
