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

Oh yeah, the domed HD GT is producing 2487 lumens out the front, the others in the 1900 to 2200 lumens range. :wink:

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!

It’s 45,2mm

Here is the link

GT mcpcb

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.

Thanks Bo4ka

This one iz amazing :+1:

I perfectly get your point, i mean, we paid almost 2 months ago under the promise that the lights would be shipped in the order of payments, so i paid almost directly when i got the PM for the first 555 group.

It’s quite disappointing to see that everything goes to the states, all is DHL, and they are even shipping lights to the states for the third group, while some (European) guys who chose registered, are waiting for two months now and they are not even shipped yet.

I knew that registered will take some thime, but this is something to take in mind with the next groupbuy, guys, please take care of this next time!

Please make sure these things are communicated next time.
For now, i will try to be patient and wait till the end of March, which will probably be when my GT arrives.

Just my 2 cents

+1
I have until February 22 at 12:18 PST, 32 days
The shipment of DHL will take from China to my country from 6 to 10 days

Reading carefully the email received from Neal at no time does he say that he will send me the DHL tracking code as soon as it is sent so that I can make the customs declaration in good time before it arrives in my country
I hope he sends me DHL tracking in time to make the correct customs declaration as I asked

This is exactly how I feel. It could be my story. :rage:

Completely agree with you.

For me it is also a lot of money

I have been thinking positive for many days, but positive thinking is being consumed little by little and each time there less

Done

That mcpcb was simply a design I sent lumintop on how to make the xhp70 mcpcb. DO NOT ORDER IT. It will be useless as it will not be a DTP mcpcb but just a normal fiberglass mcpcb. I forgot to unshare it after they looked at it.

Very nice beamshots!
