Team Giggles and Neal - thank you. In between work I’ve had the opportunity to muck around with my light and it’s perfect. No blemishes, UIs seem to work as described. Additionally, I’m able to make a light spot on my neighbour’s house about 15 metres opposite of me in sunny weather. This thing is mental. Thanks again.
i just have a PM sent by neal, first since DEC
so it turned out the light hasn’t been shipped :person_facepalming: , and he asked me what value should the light be declared
so at least 2 weeks i will receive the light
anyway, i’m not mad this time, because i know what’s going on
Yes, I will go into more detail later once I understand the full scope of the situation but things are a bit of a mess with all the manual human input that was involved in the order and shipping process. Some orders were lost, some people got 2 tubes or 2 heads and in some cases the workers shipping the lights messed up altogether and some orders feel between the cracks.
Communication is flowing much better now, so make sure you filled out the survey (just once please) and hopefully things should start getting back on track soon.
GT arrived about 9PM last night, DHL must have been working overtime. It is fantastically absurd and well worth the wait. Thanks Team Giggles.
Yes. I have filled out the survey. How long will it take to send a battery tube?
Thanks.
Not sure on time frames yet, just that things are moving forward again.
I have ordinary flat contact 30Q batteries.
Question: How will the use of neodymium magnets affect
the overall resistance of the electrical circuit?
Explanation: I can calculate the resistance and get the exact result.
I do not understand the effect of this resistance on the performance of the BLF GT flashlight.
Thank you.
Magnets are not recomended for several reasons, mostly they can fall out and short something out. Much better to solder blob the cells.
If you must use them at your own risk, then they will work but indeed they will add some resistance.
The GT uses a buck driver, so the output can never be more then the 2.5A turbo mode but it can be less if the input voltage is too low.
Hello those who have the xhp 70 and the vn modification,
I just was curious how changing the leds affects the throw and beam width? Is the throw less but the beam wider? Or does the throw stay the same or is the throw even longer? I am trying to understand how the type of led affects width and throw. I have an Olight sr ut-52 with the Vinh mod that does not affect the internal charging. It is also a good throwing light.
Thanks to the team and esp to TA for his thoughtful and patient approach.
Eric
The XHP70 with dome on dropped the throw on my light from ~2100m to ~1300m.
With the dome off the throw increase to ~1600m.
The beam is much larger, around 2.5-3X the size IIRC. I find the xhp70.2 version to be more practical in the real world but boy is the stock LED pretty and fun to play with.
I am actually considering selling my XHP70.2 GT in a week or 2 once I test the new driver in it.
Where is the survey for Neal for problems?
It is in the OP (Original Post)
Will you be selling it with the new driver and the XHP70.2? Can I call dibs? :smiling_imp:
Yes, that is the plan after I finish testing. Although they might send me another light for the full torture test, not clear yet.
Either way I plan to sell it with the TA driver and XHP70.2 installed and ready to rock. I could even install a CW XHP70.2 if someone twisted my arm hard enough lol.
Just have to wait for the drivers to be ready first. I will be placing the order tonight or in the morning. They should be in next week.
Del gave some really good input as well, I am really liking the newest design.
My GT arrived in one box all perfect including cells - it’s gorgeous ,beautifull ,awesome ,it transmits the GrandTeam it was behind it ,thank you so much and in the same time,need to apologize publicly that i’ve gave some of you hardtime - registered shipping was long ,45 days but.arrived as it.was proposed no issue at all - hopefully the GroupBuy could continue asap so every member could get it’s GT as they expecting it (i know it’s not easy the waiting,but definitely worth the suffering of waiting) - Lumintop has proven to be a great manufacturer ,the light is transmitting Top quality and the Team has got all of us a great price - wish you all ,the best

Single box with plenty of foam padding. Everything inside was immaculate.
The head is absolutely massive !
Hadn’t had a proper chance to assemble and test out the light yet. Shall do so tonight.
Big thanks to Team Giggles, Neal and Lumintop for their work !
Please keep up the communication to GB members and all will be peachy.
