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

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.

Any suggestion?

How many Lumens and Cds,would offer the XHP70.2?

Lumens should be around 6000.

No idea what the Kcd would be yet, a lot less then the stock XHP35, but it would have a much larger hotspot and could honestly be more useful in the real world.

Won’t know more until the next Sample arrives with the mcpcb and LED to test.

Are you going to push it to 6.6k startup lumens (12A) like in djozz’s tests?

Any idea what kind of lux values that might get? That might honestly make a better show-off light than the 2600 lumen xp-l HI.
