Here’s a tip for removing the bezel. Loosen the upper head from the light engine section first, this takes pressure off the o-ring on the glass and makes the bezel much easier to turn due to less friction.
Jason is there some shots of the Gt in bits, as in the whole thing? I have seen the ones with the carriers all in bits, but the head is in 1 part. If there are some, may be useful to pin them to the 1st post for those of us yet to battle opening it. I’m sure I saw some in the depths of a thread….
I’m waiting for the new led’s before I’m even trying. I suppose they will be some months off yet? (I read Lumintop may do something ?)
I checked and I don’t really have any good shots of the head taken apart. I’ll work on finding some and add them to the main GT thread post #3 with the other pictures.
For anyone who wants to use Flat top cells, you can do it by unsoldering the spacers in the battery carrier. I showed the pics here: https://1lumen.com/18650-reviews/blf-gt/#battery-carrier-blf-gt
