Should we have yet another GB for BLF-348?

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

AA plz!

I’d buy a few more. The only change I’d want is a keychain hole. There are plenty of other multi-mode lights and the clean simplicity with good CRI is what makes this one so appealing :slight_smile:

Interesting, I thought they were still available last I checked (well the singfire version anyways).

If a new production run was done I would like to see some new LED’s offered, such as 219C’s and XP-G3’s.

I missed the chance to buy one for $5.50 and I'm now slowly looking to buy a few for christmas gifts, to make sure they arrive on time. Yes from me.

If this light can go out of stock for the 3rd consecutive GB and still has high demand, why not just go balls to the wall mass production of 10k+ units and drive the price down to under $5, meanwhile get companies to buy them in bulk with company engraving for internal door gifts and lucky draws to make it more viable.

This really makes perfect sense. Why not just blow the doors off and PRODUCE this thing? :money_mouth_face:
