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

yep, i read it………

the pink elephant Easter nimny and tooth fairy all enjoyed the light

whatever happened to these battery carriers?
guess they got canned ?
sure did look nice.

Think they weren’t getting the numbers they were looking for. And narrowed it down to efficiency/passthrough/flow through the carriers.

Yes, they got canned. The extra springs under the half circle pieces added too much electrical resistance. They were probably cheaper to produce since the ends were made of plastic, but in the end the went back to their older style carrier. Similar to the one from their SD75 model seen below.

Boredom. Made on New Years Eve. A quicky, figuratively speaking.

thats eggxactly how i would feel if i were you too ! :smiley:
2 funny man!

I would like to be added to the list. Thank you

Coyotehawk will add your name to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock.

Welcome to BLF.

Please add me to the list.

Although i don’t have much experience with dedoming XHP35 leds ( ive done only one), i find that nitro paint thinner works very good, at least in my case.

It removed the dome completely without any leftovers what so ever. Someone, cant recall tho who was (Kawi or TA) said that cleaning the remaining phosphor on the side of the die will also help for better looking beam.

Thanks Bobby I will definitely tryout nitro thiner then !

GOOF-OFF works good if it’s available! Just try and cut right above the wires and then soak it in the goof-off. I have had success using this and letting it sit over night. Just make sure you use a small glass container. It will eat plastic material :wink:

Just got my tracking number. So should be here this week.

As I’m part of the team I was supposed to get the GT a bit earlier but for some reasons it was delayed.
I can’t say if my shipment is part of a larger shipment to the EU or if it’s a separate shipment just for me.

seems europe is next

got my tracking also (shipping info received - no pickup atm)

Found someone’s video review and beam shots on YouTube. Didn’t see here so thought I would share.

But Europe without batteries, as it seems, I ordered with batteries, so I will have to wait a bit longer, as it seems.

Is your GT sent with DHL or registered? And did you order the batteries also?

Seems like false alarm for Europe, cose only thijsco19, and Martin got tracking numbers and they are team members…
Anyway it will be soon no hurries, and nice video btw :+1:

Thats my dad, spent weekend on the island. Once he gets the camera figured out I think the videos will get a lot better.
