[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

I already requested,i didnt want to do it twice,i was just sharing a thought,didnt want to only have one post…
i already requested to be added to list for two lights…one for each hand hahahha

With the distance this light can throw i’m wondering to what extent light scattering in the atmosphere influences the amount of photons you get on target, what magnitude of improvement a same flux bin warm white xhp 35 in the 2500 kelvin range would yeld in this regard over the choosen neutral white one.

While giving cool looking laser saber beamshots i can’t help but lament for all those lost photons.

What I can’t help but wonder is what would happen if I cut out an inverted dome with a hole in the top and spun up an adapter collar to allow a 7” aspheric to fit over the XHP-35……

Anyone else see this vid on putting an aspheric lens over a reflector light?

I guess this works because it creates an intense close in focal point? I didn't know this was possible, if it's real of course...

Put an aspheric lens in front of any LED light and focus it close and you’ll be able to burn stuff.
Doesn’t mean it’s useful as a flashlight.
Combining a lens and reflector in a flashlight makes the most horrible looking spot you’ve ever seen.

it works ok. Not as hot as just getting close to the emitters, but less harmful to the flashlight anyway. Here is bigger version doing that.

add me to the list too… for the heck of it!

my eyesight will be too bad to enjoy this light by the time it hits the delivery trucks…. :weary: :nerd_face:

Add me to the list please, also some kind of edit to the opening post with instruction on what to do would help massively, I’m quite confused other than knowing i have to reply to this post, and I’m part of the second buying stage.

Mongoose, nothing to be confused about, just saying you’re in will get you a PM with all you need to know. :wink:

Add me to the list please.

Please add me to the list. I can hardly wait.

wait u must……

Please add me to the list for 1

rap? this is shakespearean prose

You are right as of the Rayleigh law of scattering,but I, for example, don’t like this warm tint.I have a Maxtoch 2X with a weird tint and I wait till Giorgoskok finds a proper led so I have a better tint.

I have seen such a video in a K70 youtube review.
Edit.
I found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbyoEMC0x3o

Please add me to the list and send me PM for details for 2X. Thanks guys!

Alright, add me for 2 more

Please add me to the list.

Thanks!
