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

I just measured my hotspot at exactly 3 m from the lens, i measured just over 13 cm, so 13/2,54=5,11” so i think i’m good

Has anyone tried putting a hotspot on clouds? I think the lowest cloud types are around 2000 metres.

Hi again!

Just an update: received the head today.
Package badly bruised AND wet.

But it´s ALL GOOD!
No scuffs or marks, only a tiny spec on reflector, glass pretty clean etc.

Boy it´s huge

I went out despite it´s –28°C now.

I tested it towards a road and a truck was driving a bit away from me in slight angle.
It just casually threw 920 meters. I was like “Ooops, better watch out where I point this…”. :smiley:

That was with fogged glass AND some light snow/hale in the air (glass often gets fogged up in here when it´s cold and you take your lights out from inside the house).

Boy –28, that’s cold!
Size does matter, doesn’t it? :sunglasses:
(With the GT, that is)

I am 1288 on buylist have they sent a email out on where to pay yet for my GROUP?

Just check post one. Right now it’s Chinese New Year. Once China goes back to work Texas_Ace will let us know when he will send out the PM’s. So late Feb or early March.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

How the two pieces of the GT were declared for the Customs please?

Lumintop already went to work, you said to remind you about the incorrect track number.

Flashlight was sent and received in the US, not in Kazakhstan

My GT arrived on thursday, and it truly is awesome. Both packages were quite moistured and the lamp itself also had some moisture on outer surfaces and inside the tube, but otherwise in good condition. Also got the batteries with the lamp, and thats really great, because ordering batteries to Finland has been impossible for the past few months.

Great work from the BLF GT crew and all the people that were making this possible
Thanks!

Man, it sucks they got wet. It’s like they got left out in the rain or something.

Lumintop needs to get their registered mail boxes sorted, as well. Some extra padding around the head is definitely needed.

Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the head taken apart for those interested. I added these to post #3.

Btw, this is my light. It’s got a different switch cover. Stock is black.

/\\\ Good pictures Jason!! Thank you……. :+1:

After seeing these, it finally hit me what KB has been saying about the LED centering spacer “floating” on/around the two MCPCB retaining screw heads. :wink:

Was it difficult to take this apart?

Is there a new era of throwers? Is the GT overcome? WHITE LASER WL20 THROW 2000M. The maximum distance of up to 5000 meters. :open_mouth:

It’s 2000m, and yes there are laser-phosphor flashlights coming in 2018 that will give a lot more throw and less lumens.
It’s not an LED flashlight though, and won’t get anywhere near the same amount of lumens.

Hows about swapping reflectors? That would show if it’s the reflector that’s causing that issue or not!
