[PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open!

Wait for a night when we have a 2000-3000 foot ceiling, and shine it due east. I should be able to see it from Ashland. Better yet, when mine shows up, we’ll have to try and converge them over Iron River. They’ll think the world is coming to an end. :open_mouth:

So is the shipping version of this light warm or cool white and what is the candela roughly because I knew it changed through the build process as far as I know

Group buy versions are shipping with a 4,000k XHP35.

They are generally tested between 1Mcd and 1.2Mcd. I just took a reading last night and got 1.1Mcd

Ok, here are the results of my testing with the Dr Meter LX1330B lux meter and the XHP70.2 GT.

These readings are at 10m, outside.

First the stock GT for a reference point.

- 1.1 Mcd for a total of 2100m of throw

Next up is the XHP70.2 80cri GT with dome on

- 560 Kcd for a total of 1500m of throw with over 9,000 lumens!

Lastly the XHP70.2 80cri GT with sliced dome

- 750 Kcd for a total of 1725m of throw with over 9,000 lumens!

So needless to say I am pretty happy with the results. A P2 bin XHP70.2 could most likely get a bit more then this but I didn’t have any on hand when I put these together.

Here are some very crude beam shots that kind of show the difference.

Dome on > Dome sliced > Stock GT

Stock GT:

XHP70.2 sliced Dome GT

XHP70.2 dome on GT

I am officially listing both of these lights for sale and I can swap the LED to something else if someone wanted.

I will post a thread for them later when I have some time. PM me if interested. They will not be cheap sadly, this is one of the only ways I am making money off this project and I need the money.

I could only get 4 of these prototype mcpcb’s so I can’t make anymore of these unless they put it into production down the line. Which they are still not giving me a straight answer, hopefully these results will bring them around.

That sliced dome xp70.2 output and throw is awesome! Is that simply an emitter/mcpcb swap running the stock driver?

I’m kinda digging the dome on version myself. I like the more floody, Q8 on steroids output.

It also has a custom TA driver to get the extra output over the stock buck driver and custom centering ring.

It gives you an extra ~2000-2500 lumens with the TA driver.

Yeah, I am having a real hard time deciding which one I like better myself, every time I think I have decided I try the other one and I realized I have not decided lol.

You did not understand what I said at all. Please read it again. If it still does make sense, please ignore it. I can not make it any clearer.

maybe just stop worrying about the financial condition of LM

I’m guessing it is too big a language barrier. Sorry.

For you for sure

maybe he has colleagues only in LM

Can you take this discussion through PMs please? i really dont want the thread to be closed again…

Why? Are you afraid of the nasty truth of how some people are waiting for their flashlights?

We bought GT through this group buy so this is our common problem.

Private messages have not solved our problems so far so we are looking for help from the GT Team.

I already know that some people are waiting for their flashlight, which is really a bummer.
But it won’t help to clutter the thread with these kind of posts and closing the thread. Becuase it has happend like two times before.

But that just what i think. So im not going to clutter the thread even more with these posts.

I think he’s saying to take your back and forth discussion with the other Poles to PM so it doesn’t clutter up the thread.

I assume you will get a reply from someone in charge when they are able or have info.
