Should we have yet another GB for BLF-348?

ok, would rather add hi, med and low to ‘on and off’.

why is it so difficult for a 1xAAA to have brightness modes?
none of them seem to have it
or if they do it is only too-high and too-low…

is it something about the 1.5V source, that makes it hard to do?

I have a couple now and like them but to be honest, for me at least I would rather see another budget light chosen for a group buy.

BLF-348.HML :slight_smile:

i’m in for that…

I’d love to have one (or two).
I was early to ‘discover’ the SingFire 348 at the time, but kind of quit the hobby not long after that, so i missed the opportunity to obtain a 348 with Nichia 219.
I bumped in to it on Gearbest lately, but it’s out of stock…
I still have 2 of the 4 348s i bought at the time, but it needs a bigger hole in the reflector to accommodate a 219.
I would probably ruin the reflector trying it myself…
High, low and firefly modes would be nice too, but it’s not a must.

if there is hi-med-lo mode setup

At least Hi, Low for longer run times.

Yea I’d buy some more if it had a few more modes maybe even better heat sinking.

There is almost no room in the tiny pill. Even an emitter swap is tough. I personally like the BLF348 as is, though a mode and a hole in the tail would be nice, how much more would it cost then? A $7-8 single mode AAA with high CRI is a rare thing already…

I am interested for sure, changes or not!

Not for me this time but thanks for asking. :+1:

More minimalist simplistic designs like this for the city dwellers please. A 1x AA/14500 version of this will be great. Keep the minimal diameter, the simple stainless steel cylinder, the NW LED, maybe recessed stainless steel switch-cap for tail-stand and you got a winner. Why doesn’t it exist yet?

+1 for a 1x AA version (or even 3x AAA) with moonlight mode for the nightstand. The single AAA size is too tiny to find at night!

Like this?

:slight_smile:

I like it
Is missing only 14500 battery

Ah… yes… :frowning:
Doesn’t look easy to modify either, seems the business is put in there from behind.

That would like double the price to go from AAA to AA?

I would like to buy a load of this light but not in its current configuration.

I would prefer a 3-mode, or even just a 2-mode switch will be great.

i got some of them and they are great built i think my most used light … i would buy more if they come again

and i would buy even more if they come with more options like high med low

but they are really great as they are now

Honestly, that’d be the perfect light for me (219, 1-mode… yes!!), except I’d strongly prefer AA. Not terribly interested in 10440-based lights. Just personal preference…

Probably uses a simple boost converter. It’s tricky enough to maintain a constant current at one level, let alone modulate it to high/low/strobe/etc. There’s just not enough real-estate on the driver to accommodate that.

Sorcerer! You read my mind!

I’m not a fan of AAA/10440… at all. Keep the ’348 but make it AA/14500, and I’m there!

And 1-mode for me, thanks.
