BLF GT Proto. Review. Work in progress. update 6.8.17. Post 69. Run time test added.

Can you post a pic next to a K60 or K70? We need beamshots please!!!

Nice! looking forward to the reviews.

Sorry Alex, l dont have either mentioned lights. The biggest light I have that has been purchased would be the original Defiant Super Thrower which is not in this league.
On a personal note I’d prefer the longer tube not that I have seen the light with it. It should balance the weight out a little better.
As far as adding weight I dont think it would add a great deal to it.

That is just amazing!
I can imagine that grin on your face and your wife’s reaction :sunglasses:
Almost 2 kg’s! This is one serious light
Cant wait to see more details and beamshots ofcourse!

Looks Awesome! Can you take full outer measurements and post in OP? I can't find them in the GT thread OP either - no outer head diameter #.

Thanks!!

Looking forward to seeing this tested with the long tube and two carriers, like the original design.

Oooooh! So close, I can almost touch it! :partying_face:

Hey Steve, can you measure the diameter of the battery tube at the threads? Wondering if the SD75 tube might fit?? :wink:

Any requests I’ll try and do after work today. Approximately 9 hours time. :weary:
Edit. It would also be nice if anyone had suggestions on a carry bag for this light. Even for transport purposes to stop it getting damaged.

How about this one? Not sure if it would fit though… :smiley:

Tool bag or plastic ammo can.

Would something like this be fitting?

134mm head OD
85mm fin OD at button
56mm battery tube
62mm battery cap OD
~315mm total length with long battery tube (ruler only goes to 305mm, guessing on the last 10)

These caps might work for a lens cap, if heated up and pressed on. 133mm

Interesting idea, that could work indeed.

Theres some nice ideas. The pipe cap looks good and ccc bag if it had a shoulder strap looks like a possibility.

at least the head is not as big as “millions candelas” lamps that runs H3 12v 50w bulb we used to “love”, i still have those.

There was once a “BLF lanyard” by Manafont, perhaps now there should be a “BLF shoulder strap”.

or custom paracord strap…

Yes, this light is perfect for a shoulder strap. I put my S70 strap on it and it works fantastic! Review coming tomorrow. Leaving to take some beamshots in a little bit hopefully……if I can put off the important work I should be doing right now……

I reckon the leather lanyard your talking about would be able to handle this torch.
