[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Which is strange, since it has a buck driver that does offer full regulation. I am lost what the complaint is even about.

Did he mix up the Q8 and the GT?

i usually open multiple tabs at once and the thread title become truncated. If TheMiller could change the title a little into something like “GT: First prototypes have ARRIVED, a BLF special giga thrower” Instead of “First prototypes have ARRIVED The GT, a BLF special giga thrower”

That first word could give a clue as to which thread we are reading. Sometime i replied to wrong thread :smiley:

Yes can and will adapt the title, thanks good idea!

Thanks The Miller :+1:

Has the price been decided, advertised, available? I think I asked to be on the list a few weeks back, but please add me just in case.

The first 555 the cost will be $111, for all remaining orders it will be $150.

Retail price after the GB is planned at $249 but figure you will find coupons to knock it down to $200.

Found one:

Sounds good. Thanks!

nice to see this crazy thing exists now
this light is sooo useless (for me) and huge, that i want it so much!!

btw, i recommend to compare it with Maxtoch Shooter 2x
i`ve tested about dozen of throwers, no one could outperform it.
guys from fonarevka bought it after my russian review and wrote it performed better than olight 3x javelot

Well I plan on zoom my camera on the castle tower 820m away and compare the sample with the current king of throw TN42 (should be little throwier then the Shooter 2x)

yep, TN42 is a great choice. forgotten about it.
i do sure that TN42 can beat Shooter.
hope finally grab it into my collection )

There really is no comparison. I've modded a couple early Shooter 2X's, maybe got about 360 kcd (1200m) - think that's the rating of the dedomed XM-L2 U4 version. At 1.1 Mcd and in sheer size, no comparison.

well, that`s not about if shooter perfors better. of course not ) that`s about how much this blaster is more powerfull than shooter.

btw. i compared my shooter with L2…L2 was ok, but significantly less throwing

Yea, it's like: there's throwers then there's throwers...

i hear crickets……… :expressionless:

Damn bro thanks for the beamshots. I was looking at maxtoch shooter xml2 u4 dedome… no step down for 70 minutes at 4.5 amp… do you think sst40 dedome would throw better in this light??

Actually the modded acebeam t30 xhp 35 hi tested 2200 lumen and 375k lux… but xml2 u4 is more efficient… :slight_smile:

Let me assure you, things are happening and progress is being made :wink:

Link please.

Talking about things happening here is a run time chart with the BLF GT proto Narsil running two amps at the end of ramping.
This particular GT also has spring bypasses on the battery carrier.
The runs were stopped when the low voltage kicked in for the first time.
