Should we have yet another GB for BLF-348?

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.

Talking about stainless AA lights, I’ve got one of these:

At about 100 grams with battery it weels a bit weighty. It’s got a 12mm driver & led.
The pill has a shelf for the emitter.

While I love the 348, honestly how much cheaper could a GB really get them? They go on sale for $5-6 which is a very fair price IMHO. Sure cheaper is better but if it is only a buck off I think there are better options for a GB even though I would buy a few of these.

Very nice.
Sold out though… :frowning:

New member here, been lurking for a long time….

I do not have a SF-348 or BLF-348 but I would definitely be interested!

I think you can still buy the Singfire 348?

Yep:

It’s apparently with the warm white XP-E.

I think the purpose of this GB is to guarantee production of more - not to get a good price. They are currently sold out and the manufacturer may not be interested in making more unless there is a guaranteed demand.

I think it is a great idea after looking up what it is. I’d buy a bunch of them.

For those like me who do not know what they are…. here ya’ go. BLF-348 Search link
