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

Yes we wait for pictures of the improved carrier for starters.
I certainly hope one of the prototype owners can post some more beamshots lighting up something far far away, hint hint :wink:

And of course, will update list later and if test PMs go well will inform aboit that too :wink:

You will get a email from “noreply@budgetlightforum.com” with the subject “New private message at BudgetLightForum.com” that tells you that you have a new PM.

i think i’ve found the perfect bag for the GT… it’s the tigernu x6006, i’ve just got mine and what i can say about it:

- more than sufficient capacity, it can fit the GT’s strap, upwards of 8 batteries and spare flashlights, including 2 pockets for ipads

-adjustable paddings with velcro straps

-good padding overall

-very durable and rigid fabric

- opens from the shoulder strap side

while i’ve gotten used to the molle bottle pouches, i can’t complain about this, given the build quality and capacity it offers. No bottle pouches out there that would fit it anyway.

Ha first look at that bag, thinking, wow that is big.
Then realising the GT is a huge light :smiley:

haha they’re a match made in heaven. It measures 45(L) by 28(W) by 15(H). That’s in cm by the way. Well worth the overkill anyway given the protection this precious thing deserves

Do you have a link to the bag?

Am I supposed to be doing something other than wait for a PM?

Should be this one: https://aliexpress.com/store/product/2016-Tigernu-Multifunction-Camera-Laptop-Backpack-Man-DSLR-Camera-Bag-Mini-Laptop-Backpack-Bag-For-Women/1668183_32758521110.html

Thank you, I appreciate that!! :slight_smile:
Looks like a nice bag too….

in the Dutch version of Aliexpress it says this bag is for women :lol

Nope :slight_smile:
we need to test the mass pm sending through BLF, based on Mr.Scotts program, reducing human error, in the mean time hope to receive some pics of improvements made on the GT by LT.
Then mass pms are going to be send with further instructions.

But entries are closed? even for the second run? Or will they be added later on?

Saving up money for all the import taxes, batteries, shoulder strap, or other accessories.

What about shoulder strap,how do we get one?

You search on amazon for “shoulder strap” and find one that you like.
I don’t think lumintop is going to bother making their own when there are plenty of cheap and good ones already available everywhere.

The first 555 lights will go for $111 and from there on its $150.You still can get on the list.

Yes exactly
There is NP limit for the $150 priced GT ATM.

Yes and I bet that is you go tobtge attic and check bag and duffelbags there are already nice straps in your possession :wink:

I hope to mod it with an XHP70.2 in the prototype but I am waiting for the mcpcb. Lumintop is suppose to have it made and send it with the samples. It should be an almost drop in mod if all goes well.

An XM-L2 would be kinda pointless as it would offer both less throw and less lumens then the stock LED.

An XP-L HI would be about half the lumens and basically the same throw but could be done with something like a TA46 LDO driver. Even the stock buck driver could be adjusted to work with it if you wanted but we don’t have a working parts list for that setup yet.

Personally the xhp35 and XHP70.2 are the 2 best options for this light IMHO. Although you can be someone will toss an XP-G2 in one.
