Sold out! - GBGB: BLF-348 - Classy and Small 1xAAA Stainless Steel light, with Nichia NVSW219B-V1 R9050

The true test of the visual quality of the Nichia emitters is how they render colors, not how “white” they appear on a wall.

Like you, I wasn’t particularly happy with the tint when I first tried it and looked at it on a white wall. But when using it for practical applications, I have to admit that it does do a better job of bringing out the natural colors of areas lit by it. :slight_smile:

As a signmaker that has to match colors...that is more important

I only regret that I did not get more of these. I got them just to toss as gifts and after I tried one changed my mind but I still ended up only one that sits in shirt pocket all the time or it would probably be gone too.

Ditto.

I ordered four more in the 2nd Group Buy: 3rd batch produced!! GBGB: 2nd batch of BLF-348 (Classy and Small 1xAAA Stainless Steel light, with Nichia NVSW219B-V1 R9050)!

But that has got a long way to go to meet the 800 order minimum.

That is ok. This buy took a while to get to where it needed to be. Sometimes it just needs a bit to soak in and I think that because we have had what seems to many buys that people do not notice them as they used to.

The Nichia and the AAA/10440 makes this a very useful light.

I made a custom driver pcb for my 348. If anyone else is interested, you can check it out here.

Anyone care to test a protected 10440 for me? I don’t own a battery and someone wanted to know if they fit. I would think so, but I don’t want to give someone the wrong info.

The difference would be 2-3mm max for the protection circuit. I’d bet my left nut that between 2 springs it could accommodate for that few mm extra.

But we appreciate your attention to detail.

ReManG confirmed a protected cell doesn’t fit in another thread. It isn’t a length thing though, it’s a diameter thing. So the extra mm in diameter do matter. I’m glad I asked.

I would like to add also , that AAA tronic eco 950mah (rechargeable) doesn’t fit ! But i have some eneloop :bigsmile:

Just received mine today, ordered Nov 13 2015.
Seriously.

But that’s not a problem at all :bigsmile:

I am still waiting for EB/GB to address the issue that I ordered 10 and only received 5!
They do NOT want to address this matter and are ignoring my inquiries as to when they will send the other 5, which now are far too late to be the planned Xmas gifts they were purchased for.
Further to this, they have requested pictures to prove this, yet fail to explain how I am to take a picture showing nothing.
I feel for the OP as it appears the OP has placed immense effort into this and I fear will be unduly tarnished due to the action of a bunch of crooks.

GearBest, you’re a bunch of crooks and you damned well know it!

This GB is sold out, so you are posting in the wrong thread. There is another group buy currently going on for these lights, and that is where you need to post if you want to get on the list.

Thanks duvallite.

I hope there is a flashlight that uses same emitter as BLF-348 but with higher output (may be triple leds), using 18650, that would be an unique flashlight

Sign up for THIS awesome light mate!

Cool light but it doesn’t use same emitter as BLF348 mate

It uses a better and brighter one, alas less CRI if that’s what you’re after

Less CRI is NOT “better”.

That’s why I said “alas less CRI”

:wink:

Hey guys, look over here. let_there_be_light is trying to gin up interest enough to ask - the - to do another round of the GBGB!
