ouchā¦ does that happen often? I wanted to buy one, but only if the tint is good. How does it compare to a Nitecore TIP CRI for example? They should have the same led I think
Can I determine if a flashlight has B or C by looking its led? I would guess those look somehow physically different?
Mine arrived today. There is 219c. I think all lights now have newer version - C
Did I miss a group buy, or did Gearbest find some more stock or returns?
It was over like 2yrs ago, people came in still trying to order, etc., then it turned into, āWell, if thereās ever another GB, Iāll take 2 moreā¦ā and such.
And so it continues.
So yah, put in another order in case thereās ever another GB. Canāt hurt.
bad news :s other people who will receive the flashlight, please let us know

Most successful group buy(s) ever, I think!
Winning combo of cheap price, classy look, and nice LED (if you got a good one, which most were). Quality was kind of meh, but still decent for the price.
Iāve stashed a bunch in convenient places around the house. They probably get used more than any other light. Just the right amount of light and flood for in-house use.

Nobody will read 300 posts on 10 pages, check for orders and transfer them to a new GB thread. And after two years most orders arenāt stable anymore or users arenāt active any longer.
Ok. Participants have had enough time to buy the lights they reserved, so I decided to publish the coupon for anyone reading BLF! Rest of the produced lights are now available for anyone => Feel free to buy any model, as many as you like. Coupon and purchase links can be found from the OP.
Always with the negative wavesā¦
I don't hope so! I know there have been produced at leat 5000 copies of the BLF-348 with Nichia chip yet. If user _the_ is still active here, maybe he'd like to run a 5th batch?
Arenāt Gearbest still making them anyway?
People have bought the currently available version, and theyāre saying it has a Nichia 219C in it:

If thatās the case, then Gearbest must have commissioned a new batch on their own, because all of the BLF group buy versions used the Nichia 219B.

I was on the Gearbest side yesterday, and they were selling BLF348s with the 219C emitter, so they must have just decided to keep a good thing going.
Iād still be interested, except the 219Cs they are using are 80+ CRI. I know Iām being picky, but I want that last 10. To paraphrase from Men of Honor, āG&#@J*Ht Gearbest, I want my 10!ā [Probably best scene in the whole movie!]
The last batch I got from GB less than a month ago was 219C & CRI90.
Is there any difference between the plain and BLF edition that GB is selling now?
Is the BLF a slightly better version of the LED, or is it just the engraving on it? :laughing:
No difference other than engraving.
so is there any place where you can still buy the 219b version? I read that killzoneflashlights had some made, but they already sold out.
Interesting. The engraved version, with keyhole no box is a CT, but the keyhole version with gift box claims to be a BT. All the unengraved keyhole versions claim to be BT. And both the engraved and unengraved versions now claim that they will run on 10440s as well as AAA, but the battery voltage is still 1.5v.
I thought about ordering a few more, but I have several still packed away, and I think I would prefer the Sofirn C01S. I really like that 4000K tint.
Theyāre all 219C.
