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

I like the Bottom one

is one of those lights the GT?

Have a look at the original photos and it is obvious the white balance is playing a part in this. The light in the porch of the house changes colour and I cant get over how much more spill one tint is giving considering the grass in the forefront is lit up in one and not the other.

Sure it’s a great example but I can’t see them as like for like examples because they are clearly different. THANKS though. seriously. I’m not ungrateful.

I used a couple nail files, one to depress and hold the bottom coils of the springs, the other file in-between the upper coils of the springs. I then stretched carefully to extend the coils. This made the spring overall height about 1/8" taller, providing more pressure against the battery. That in-turn has more force pushing the button "top" to make better contact. The 35E added buttons are a bit small, and low profile. IIRC, the GT was planned to have protected button tops as/per Lumintop specs. I can only assume this is the answer why the non-protected tops do not have the spec'd length. Your use of words are clearer than my short, non-descriptive choice of what little I presented myself with. Which made me think, make more sense ARsee. Sorry everyone for being vague. This was not intentional. I have a problem with word input oops

I still plan on solder blobbing the tops for better electrical contact, and spring pressure. With my carriers, when I rotate them with the 35E batteries installed, some of them fall right out. This can't be good.

1 ask Thomas King to call the names of the people he PMed on Facebook. He knows who he send the link and password.

2 the 4000k led was used because there were no other more nw leds available. So if you don’t like it, change it to a ledcolor of your choice.

No, the Lumintop batteries they were going to offer were unprotected.

The carriers were designed to handle both protected and unprotected. That is 65mm to 70mm. A 5mm difference and the springs can only compress maybe 7mm? So Lumintop got them just right. :+1:

Thanks…….
Video in German, but good beam shots.
.

My question is which GT is being used in this video, the first proto type with CW emitter or the NW that is now being shipped?

Rather a poor show that out of all the members whoa have received this fine flashlight about the only non member video available is from Germany in German was hoping to see lots of pics and vids yet part from one video and the team members offerings we have seen nothing

so come on guys put us poor souls out of our misery and get some beamshots posted please

Hmmmm…… That is a very good question BCW……… :slight_smile:

Easy for you to say, but for us with 5 thumbs and no tools, that is not an option! :frowning:

You need to look on YouTube Buttkicker… You obviously have not been keeping up to well.
Hopefully you will soon have yours & can whip out some beam shots & a video to redeem us. :wink:

Any Australians got a shipping notification yet?

It’s a production light with 4000k emitter.
