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

I think they are making a reserve list. And since you made a request I ‘imagine’ you will be put on it in the order your request was initially made…

TA has already said there is no guarantees past 1500 lights. BUT…better to have tried…. than not.
………………………

EDIT ……… See post I have quoted below……… I had missed it.

That is a great attitude. I would have purchased this light if it had a red led or any other color for that matter. I would then put the led and driver in it that I wanted. If after asking here how to do it I thought I would not be able to do it correctly I would pay someone to mod it. There is no other led light that can compete with this light that I know of.

Just the empty shell with the reflector and battery holders is worth more than the group buy cost. It hard for me to understand anyone complaining about the color temperature of this light. Don’t they realize how much work these people doing this group buy designing this light, circuity, reflector, etc. is? It is a huge undertaking and takes a huge amount of time just keeping track of who wants one, who has paid, and much much more.

I do understand someone not liking a certain color temperature but not raising a big stink over it after what these people have done for us to start with. Can you even imagine combined hours of work that has gone into this project?

How much do they think a light of this caliber would have cost if a manufacturer had spent all of that time designing a light like this?

There are lights that sell for 5 to $600 or more that simply can not compete with this light. This is one of those rare situations where something you purchase is actually worth more that what you paid for it. I think this light will be worth more that what we pay years from now.

I hope that the guys and gals that do these special edition projects for us realize that most all of us do appreciate their hard work very much.

Sweet! :+1:

The team is gonna try and get a single list done this weekend and have it at the beginning of this thread.

Very well said 2Grumpy

I’m very thankful just to have a shot at one.
The team is fuckingly amazing and I don’t think
This project could ever be equaled anywhere else.
There’s no I in team guys, not here. Well done.

:+1:

With 1.5+Mcd? Vinh might be the first to come out this light.

I assumed he meant an xhp50.2. More lumen, less throw.

Then maybe most modders have 6v led and mcpcb, so they are ordering 12v version.

I’ll try to say something about with my poor English.
I think that this light will be a toy for many of the buyers,who saw the photos and the videos of the prototypes and decided to buy it.They want to play with it looking the beam like a laser beam,because they can not do the same with laser as it is illegal. So,you have to understand them. :slight_smile:

Well, I’m a capitalist. People were fully aware of what they got into, and entered into the agreement willingly. Nobody forced their hand. My appreciation will come in the form of a fair and mutually beneficial money transfer when it’s time, because that’s what I agreed to when I put my name on the list.

Not sure where this picture came from, & really don’t care.

’To me’ …. it is a perfect example of two very crappy extremes.

Not a complaint at all…. just my observation & preference.

Which has exactly NOTHING to do with “not appreciating” all the hard work Team Giggles put into this project.

IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED BY MOST EVERYONE I THINK…… . :+1:

Just because someone has an opinion or preference does NOT negate appreciation…… :wink:

EDIT: …… And yes… I knew it had been changed to 4000K, as well as exactly when it was changed and Why ; because I read & kept up with what was going on.
IF you did not……. that is on you. Whoever you may be.

:+1: x 2

I really don’t know much about the warranty except that if it has any type of defect early on, it will get fixed. This is the area The Miller was going to handle, but he’s not here.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the led being driven too hard. It is on a huge copper DTP mcpcb 45mm in diameter in a 4 pound chunk of aluminum. It can handle a lot of heat. The driver is also over built. It runs at 2.5A @ 12v, but can handle more than double that.

Just an FYI teacher, the post that you have me quoted from was modified after I read a little further down the thread. TA made a post about 830 the morning of the 6th indicating that everyone up to that point would be allowed on the list. So I updated the list and paragraph accordingly.

:THUMBS-UP: X3 :THUMBS-UP:

Thanks Codyhawk… I’ll go back & update it.
Although…… there is little chance of anyone going back that far to read… :smiley:

Thanks & congrats for your hardwork too!! :slight_smile:

Edit: Fixed it Codyhawk………. . :+1:

Thank you Coyotehawk.
Now i have to convince my wife. May tell her three GT are my last purchase of any flashlight, of course this is last resort.

She is drinking her red tea in front of me now. Looks calm and relax. Should i start the negotiations?

I actually think the hot spot in those videos is brighter in the warmer tint.
I personally would prefer a cooler colour for wow factor. I have no need for the sheer range that this has other than to wow people, I’m a big kid I’ll admit.

I still think on its own when you fire it up people will still be way more than impressed with it.

I’m quoting you JasonWW!..literally…… Im jus teasing….But yes, Please put me on the tail end of the list.
I’m just happy the Giga thrower is in existance and also, me finding this forum.

Pardon me, but is fritz’s reverse handle coming out of the tail section still a go for in the future? I’d pay damn good money for that.
