Yes, this is on my to do list once I finish some other projects. I really want to play with Anduril just have not had time.
Eventually my GT will be running a XHP70.2 but I’m waiting for Lumintop or possibly led4power to come out with a dedicated 12V GT-XHP70.2 ledboard before that can happen.
In the meantime I received a (actually two) new XHP35 Hi emitter, in a nice 4000K 80CRI tint output bin C4 from Kaidomain, and to check if my severely underperforming GT (830 kcd) was suffering from a bad led, I swapped it with this new one.
And behold!, it solved the problem. Measured at 12 meter distance, on 30Q’s (shorty setup with one bsttery carrier) after 30 seconds my GT now does 1.0 Mcd (998.7kcd 
). Assuming that the stock GT’s have a higher D4 binned led (should on average read 1.15 times higher), this is perfectly in line now with the numbers that we measured from Nico’s GT.
And FWIW, like all other 4000K 80 CRI leds that I used from Cree in the last year, the tint is really really great!
Good to hear djozz!
Now the third GT also arrived to me to play with focus. The second which done only 870 kcd was worse than mine so it need to go to 3,5mm or above with centering plate thickness. I haven’t opened the third yet. and I haven’t got a lot time but I will sum up the conclusion when finished with all three and got the best results.
That is really a useful bit if information. I appreciate you letting us know. I suspected as much bet never took the time to try and prove it. I think I will take a look at some better meters soon…
Thrunite TN42 CW vs BLF GT NW.
Measured lux reading at 10 meter distance using UT383 cheap lux meter.
Very nice, pretty much right in line with what I would expect.

The reading of the BLF GT is still around 13% under when measuring neutral white color with this type of lux meter. Adding this error will then give around 1.141 real Mcd intensity.

Using another type of lux meter. Lux measured at 10 meter distance.
…a man with one watch knows what time it is…
Oh how this applies to lux meters and taking readings from flashlights in general.
That commend is so true.
:partying_face:
Made the GT centering ring in 3D and I made different thickness models. I will 3D print them and try the 3 GT soon. Sorry but I had a lot to do around the house.
Looking good ZozzV6!! . :+1:
I made the centering things in the following thicknesses in mm:
3.0
3.1
3.2
3.3
3.4
3.5
3.6
I need a few days for testing because I start night shifts today and I only home at daylight.
I have a BLF GT-70.2 and in my eyes the throw is not what shocks me. About 200 to 400 yards is hard for my eyes to determine throw, but not brightness.
A palm tree that I shot with my TN42 vn had a small tight circle of light on it (at the leaves) with the Thrunite TN42 vn. The same palm tree with the BLF GT-70 is in daylight the entire palm tree and houses and everything…… I mean 200 to 400 yards away in daylight…… It’s crazy……

Yes, for practical ranges the XHP70.2 is a more useful light IMHO. I never would of guessed it would make these kinds of numbers.
That sounds good Manny! I would not mind a few pictures of that comparison!
