Here is a video of how they might make the reflector, probably using more CNC and less human intervention…

Thats a pretty cool video on making a reflector, but I really dont think most of the reflectors in the lights we use are made like that. If you notice a page back the pic of the GT reflector, p60, c8 and s2, I would say all 4 of those are turned down on a lathe, not rolled out like in the video.

The GT’s reflector is NOT made by spinning.

I think this is a really good article. You make this information interesting and engaging. You give readers a lot to think about and I appreciate that kind of writing.

YOU SIR ARE JUST A SPAMMER!!!

Today I illuminated a water tower in 2,08km with the BLF GT :sunglasses:

In case anyone missed it, I’ll probably repost this every now and then.

I have some news on emitter swaps.

I talked to Richard at Mountain Electronics (RMM on these forums and a sponsor here) and told him there might be more than a few guys with GT’S interested in swapping to a cooler tint. He says that if you send in your stock mcpcb to him and buy one of his new XHP35-HI emitters, he will reflow it for free! He has 2 choices right now, 5,000k and 5700k tint. They are both the same D4 brightness bin as the stock GT 4000k emitter.

The cost of both are under $8, plus the shipping cost there and back. I’m in Texas and shipping a small package from him is usually $2 to $3. So I would estimate the entire cost at under $15.

From his store:

BLF GT LED SWAP

​Don’t like the tint of your BLF GT XHP35 HI? Send us your MCPCB and we’ll swap it for this one.

Please ship your BLF GT MCPCB to us and we will swap it, test it, clean it, and send it back to you.

Your entire order will not ship until we receive the LED and get it ready to ship.

Ship to:

Mountain Electronics LLC
8076 S. Box Canyon Rd.
West Jordan, UT 84081

Here is the link to the 5000k.

Here is the link to the 5700k.

If your outside of the USA, then I’m not sure what shipping would be or if he even does international shipping. You’d have to contact him for details.

does any one in the UK know any modders dealers that could do the same job of altering the coolness… dont yet have the GT but I much prefer a bluer look

I’ll have to see if I get one (I was just outside of the 1500), but I may try an emitter swap on it too. Ill let you know if it goes okay.

I not received the tracking code yet :cry:

They don’t provide tracking codes, only in the beginning US buyer got their codes. After that, no codes. Not very professional.

Maybe not, but I think they kind of bit off more then they could chew on this group buy. They wanted the first 555 to put a deposit to prove there was interest. I think they were skeptical that they would actually sell 555, not to mention 1500+.
Companies like lumintop are not used to selling to individual people either. They typically only sell wholesale to retailers. Yes, Neil is used to retail selling and shipping, but this is pretty large scale considering all of the steps involved from manufacturing to the end results of getting them shipped

That could be the explanation for it, but nevertheless it’s a bit annoying there is no communication about this.

yes, that’s the exiting part of it, every day is a surprise. You never know when the DHL or local post car stops at your house with a huge box. :)

[Yokiamy]

The problem is, every day the mail truck stops at my house, so every day i get a littlebit excited, and think, would it be for me? but 9 out of 10 times he walks to my neighbors…
The other time its my wife who ordered online stuff :person_facepalming:

I wish it was easier to upload photos here, I did some shots comparing the Niwalker BK-FA09S 2400lm 1490m VS the BLF GT.
Is there a way to upload directly instead of uploading to another website then linking here?

It is cumbersome to show your pics here. Always wondered why they insist on file hosting…

Do you know how much more server space we would need if the site also hosted all of the images posted here?

That makes sense. Can you tell me what FREE site(s) are good to use, if any? I remember searching a few different ones in the past but they all wanted money.

Try this one. 10GB free…

I know very well, but the hysterics with GT changed the forum. Kindergarten or do not know what …

Love seeing that beam parallel the ground like that, thanks Alux! :sunglasses:
