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

Well putting in another tint XHP35HI or dedomed XHP35 can always be done by people themselves.
DEL did it but the large ledboard needs a lot of heat to do it :wink:

He is not joking about the mcpcb. It is a beast.

I tried using the hot air gun but got bored after several minutes of heating and still no reflow.

So I broke out a propane blowtorch, that did the trick.

Warning, if you try to do it this way, be VERY careful, it is very easy to overheat things and damage them. Heat from a good distance away and only till the solder just start to reflow, then pull the heat away quick.

sounds like this mcpcb is not typical, maybe a spare is good to have

It is an extra large pcb to match the extra large reflector / light.

Unless you seriously screw up you should never need a spare, it is built to last. VERY happy with the mcpcb and shelf.

Now a custom XHP70 12V mcpcb on the other hand, well lets just say that talks are under way and I have no idea where it will end up at this point but things are looking good.

The lux is defined by the sensitivity of the human eye for the different wavelengths, so a light source that appears brighter to the eye should simply measure a higher lux (eye variations averaged).

The reason that the average luxmeter reads cool white light higher than visibly brighter neutral white light is that it is expensive to measure lux correctly, a precisely tuned optical filter is needed before the sensor that is several times more expensive than what an average luxmeter costs. Instead, almost all luxmeters (also the ones over 100 dollar) read the blue region of the spectrum too high, so that cool white led light gets a higher reading than it should.

Yeah, what he said^

OP updated with:

Please make a pattern in the PN with the adress-informations you want to get. State/province is not nessesary in germany, but if you want it, you/Neal will get it.

Where do you see that?

Read that post again and read the OP. Alleen the info is in the openings post.

No, its still the same price for the first batch/group buy of first 555 lights, then a little more for the second group buy price

Check first post.

Costs for the first 555 is $111

Second groupbuy cost will be $150

The official list price after the groupbuys will be $249.95

Please put me in for a 2nd GT. Thanks TM!

Thank you very much for the wonderful explanation.

Think the state/province thing is just a field, having it makes it clear, kind of hard for LT to know what county needs it or not.

No no please read a whole post, the last sentence is ” Not that it will be a groupbuy thing but I can see LT do it. ”

Yes will update list later :slight_smile:

During the holidays, Sams Club sells their “16” hard cases”:https://www.samsclub.com/sams/16in-safety-box/prod20353692.ip for $20

If I am not messing the inch to cm conversion up, a GT would fit in that nice box.

ok a pm from mr scott, or beamshots…i need one of the 2 tonight :wink:
preferably both :stuck_out_tongue:

The nifty thing about the PM from Mr Scott is that it should look like coming from me.
We await the test pm now (only send to team members on first 555 spots)

Too bad i’m on 562, with the last dropout 561 which means i have to wait a little longer for the PM :wink:
almost in the 555 range!

I hope he uses something obvious in the subject line. I get hundreds of emails every day and while I scan through the subject lines before deleting them I don’t want it to fail to catch my eye.
