I have no idea if mine is even on its way at the moment or who it’ll come by.
Still bleh about it all
Just to be clear, it is just a remote possibility that this LED could be used in the future batches of GT’s. Although it would be the retail batches, not the GB lights as all of those are already built, just waiting for reflectors.
Yes, there are many small reasons for the DHL shipments going first. Some I don’t agree with, some I can’t argue with and some I agree with. I won’t get into the details but it all boils down to it happened the way it happened.
From the start the entire team assumed that they would ship out in the order they were paid. Simple, direct and fair.
Then they started shipping them by the pallet and by country.
We talked it over and it would have been way more hassle and caused more issues then just letting it play out. The shipping speed would not have changed no matter what, only who got their lights first.
For the record the team never wanted, asked for or even desired for the USA to get the first shipments. In fact I asked several times if they could send the next batch to other countries. I wanted them to be spread out across the globe from the start so that we could get some reviews of the lights in a lot of different settings and get feedback on the shipping from various countries early on.
“It ships when it ships” was very firmly stated many, many times before any full payments were taken.
Before that it was said quite a few times that getting them before the end of the year 2017 would be highly unlikely. We are but a mere 3 weeks into 2018 with around 130 days left on paypal protection.
Very cool beamshots!
Cool stuff Dale !
Really interested in a 4500k option too on a seperate board. Nice to know you guys continue to improve the light in anyway, thats great dedication.
Thanks for letting me know, on a side note do you know the exact bin on the XHP35 Hi used in the BLF GT? That way I could look up any data on it. Thanks.
From the lake shots, my buddy’s pics from his iPhoneX with flash turned off… the GT with HD emitter first, then the sliced HD, then the 3 lights together, (HD, sliced HD, and HI) The light you see on the meter is from the GT across the lake at 1.31 miles, there simply was no other light present. No guard lights, nothing.
All 3 put light on the water tower at 1.9 miles, even in the high humidity…
HD
Sliced HD
HI
Oh yeah, the domed HD GT is producing 2487 lumens out the front, the others in the 1900 to 2200 lumens range. 
At first I was angry that people who just saw video of GT and decided that they need one, actually received their lights just month or two after registered on BLF… But wth it’s just a business for Lumintop,or any other Chinese company!
Why would they care if only 200 of us voted for design of GT, voted for emitter to be installed, voted for name of this beast……
Simply my money is not worth more than anyone else’s so they can arrange shipping what ever they want as long as they keep quality on the same level as it should be…
I will stay cool and simply wait for my package to arrive,still have 35 days of 180 Paypal protection guarantee for the deposit payment…
Dale are you saying that even the domed xhp35 HD is punching over 1Mcd ?
I’ve expected to be 15-20% brighter, but didn’t expect so small difference in throw.
It is a D4 flux bin
How are you measuring the lumens? Is your sphere made out of 5” PVC?
On mine I can’t fit the whole head and it causes the readings to be much lower.
Although that is about right amount of improvement for the HD, they are usually around 500 lumens above the HI.
Can someone remind me what was the size of the copper MCPCB in the GT? Was it 42mm?
Team Giggles, can you include the size of the MCPCB on the Specifications post #3? Thanks!
Thank you so much! Wow! I didn’t know that they were making the XHP70 MCPCB for the GT already! Gotta order one! Not sure if to order the 2 oz copper (will it fit the GT Thickness wise) or the standard, I see that there is a minimum quantity of 3
EDIT, THESE ARE NOT MCPCB BOARDS THEY ARE JUST FIBERGLASS MADE TO SHOW A DESIGN TO LUMINTOP, DO NOT ORDER THEM!!! SEE POST 16635 BY TEXAS ACE…!!!
Anyone know is there MCPCB for XHP50 12V?
Did some shots with my Galaxy S8 (automatic settings), because I have no clue of manual settings.
There was pretty high humidity.

The Apache 3800 from Harbor Freight is currently selling for $30 with coupon and fits the GT very well, with space for 3 soda can lights. I think that’s a great deal, but the Member’s Mark 24” Protective Case from Sam’s Club is even better.
It sells for $30, but may be on clearance for $20 at your local Sam’s Club. It’s even bigger, so you may be able to fit two GT’s, or just a crap load of lights. It also has more latches, plus has wheels and a pull out handle. This looks like the case for the flashaholic that wants to transport a couple of BLF GT’s and a dozen BLF Q8’s, which may actually be a real use case for some people here.
