I present you with Giggles, the most hardcore BLF thrower in the World.

Raccoon City, that looks eerily like my surgeon… (shivers)

TA, you have rendered me speechless. This is not easy to do. Congrats I tip my hat to you!

I feel good about this accomplishment.

TA my man, can you post a few photos of how it looks in the hand? Both for reference and just for fun? :smiley:

I would but I just sent my light off to a member to do a review on, so giggles has left the building for the moment.

You will most likely get what you want when that review is done though.

Lovely! :+1:

so is the board copper? that grey always makes me think of the aluminum ones

I want to engrave this logo on the side like you did…

The mcpcb is most assuredly DTP copper. A VERY nice mcpcb for sure. Heavy, flat and solid.

The gray laser engraving is the aluminum body, the light body is aluminum, copper would be insanely heavy and super silly expensive, like $1000.

Interesting design, could look good. Obiously it could not have the colors if it is engraved but I suppose you could have it printed on the light as well. Lots of places do that but printing doesn’t last as long.

In fact places like Fastsigns and other made to order sign shops might be able to do laser engraving locally now days, they say they can print on anything.

It is worth checking into for anyone that wants to get their own light engraved. I will include the text I used for engraving below for anyone to copy.

Here is the Giggles Text that I used in a few different formats. Personally I would stretch it out another mm or 2 to fill out the flat area but otherwise I think it works great.

Giggles Text For Engraving

yes i’m on the first list and saw the specs but i always freak out when i see a light with the led on a grey board. thank you

When I saw this post, I thought “CRAP! Yet another light to buy.”
When I realized I was already on the list, I thought, “CRAP, one less light to buy!” :smiley:

Keep safe in all the crazy weather, TA and the rest of the BLF ohana in Texas!

MaxToch makes some really nice DTP copper MCPCB’s, and they are white to grey in color of the masking that is on top. Don’t see where the color has anything to do with it.

no big deal, relax. just double-checking. like i said, i’ve seen many aluminum ones that same color.

It’s ok. The masking on the mcpcb can be a whole array of colors. We are used to seeing red simply due to that being what we have seen the most around here. White and other colors are usually cheaper though so thats why you generally see these colors on production lights. Plus white will not cause any funny tint shifts if for some reason it is exposed.

Awesome light, but too expensive for me… :cry:

Sorry, I do not want to de-rail the extensive BLF-GT thread of The Miller any further but I would like you to know that:

Not only is the Giggles thread on the other forum closed, what you already knew, but now it is also removed.
Some members on the other forum are discussing this in the giggles thread
They are also discussing when the discussion about it will be removed (I could not bring myself to add a smiley).

All I can see is “batsignal ” when flashed in the clouds

Interesting, already closed.

For the record, I have not and will not make a penny off the sale of these lights. The only compensation I am getting for my work on the GT (along with the rest of the team) is a free GT to keep. Turns out it looks like I will end up with the prototype to keep as well. So I have no reason at all to care about how many sell except for an improved relationship with lumintop.

I did indeed PM Bullseyebill, I was waiting for a reply but now that the thread is removed I guess that answers my question.

Basically the between the lines explanation is that they can’t stand the idea of CPF members creating an account on BLF in order to sign up for the light. Which I can’t totally fault them for considering they are a for profit website. It doesn’t make sense to send people to an alternative website.

He did say that if a GB thread was opened on CPF then the thread could remain open but Miller doesn’t have time to deal with that with the Q8 just going live along with the GT and FW3 all going on already.

If things slow down and Miller has time it is possible we could open a GB thread on CPF for it and try again. Or if a CPF member wanted to volunteer to maintain a GB list on CPF you could contact miller about it, it is possible we could work it out that way but it is up to Miller since that is his department.

The end result is that it is their site, I will abide by their rules. I hold no hard feelings, just disappointment.
