I hope TA hasn’t gotten fed up with us here. I noticed he hasn’t posted in this thread since all the battery hoohaa. He has more flashlight Electronics knowledge in the tip of his pinky finger than I do in my entire body. Without people like him and the other team members here, I would have absolutely no hope of enjoying a work of art like the Gigga Thrower. The more information I read about other expensive long range thrower flashlights and compare it to what the GT is capable of, the more excited I get. The nice led tint is just icing on an already delicious cake. Sorry, it’s lunch time here and food references keep popping into my head! :sunglasses:
Hmmmmm…… Your right, TA has been absent it seems. I hope everything is OK with him.
I miss his thought provoking & knowledgeable posts. I too have learned much from them.Hopefully he will show up again soon…. real soon. 
He told me he was pretty busy IRL and not on BLF much.
He’ll come back when he has time for it
will this light be in my hand before the first snow storm ?
its 91 degrees here today :person_facepalming:
These kind of topics with a lot of people saying things are kind of hard to follow sometimes for me, and I don’t do technical stuff
So that is why you see “general communication” after my name I keep track of this.
Behind the scene a lot is going on.
But at times people doing a lot of technical work are only visible in email and PM.
The new carrier needs a driver adaptation so a lot of talk and designing going on here. Leaving less time to post.
(Check for example Fritz seemingly silent in the FW3A but that is because he is doing a lot not so visible to all now.)
Not just for you TM. I have to glance up to see what thread I’m on and we have it easy. You have it much worse since you’re a mover and shaker on multiple threads.
Thank you for the info Enderman… good to know he is OK.
Check out the new sig 
Cheers David
Hahaha nice one pommie
If you ever get bored, I’ll bare the burden of taking that proto off your hands for a week or so. :innocent:
You are quite welcome to try and pry it from my wife’s grubby little hands, I tried and failed
Cheers David
We need moar pictures!!!
Very nice pommie, very nice indeed!!! . :+1: … 
the best battery for this light is NCR18650GA, which has highest capacity now, and the cell can handle the current no problem
We dont know if the GA tops make contact in the stock carrier
button top GA or 35E seems the best, followed by 3400nAh protected panasonics, that do have buttons (I dont know about the GA and 35E)
For this,I have ordered my 8pcs from nkon.nl,as I can’t buy Liion batteriesfrom China, and they are on their way now.
Look at this.
NCRB’s would be best value for money surely
Ah I have had a talk over the phone with the owner of NKON and his buttons are hand welded on there to ensure minimum resistance added.
I’ve had top notch service from Nkon and their price are great for a European shop.
About the choice of batteries, i’v come to the conclusion that the only battery i need for all my 18650 usage are the superbly versatile 30Q, they are only 15% less capacity than the highest capacity 18650, they have a very low internal resistance that make them capable to deliver very high currents when needed, they are very resiliant to repeated high current usage ( more so than the VTC6 or HG2 according to Mooch tests) and they are cheap and very available.
It greatly simplifies my battery upkeep/rotation.
