The BLF GT70 "Giggle Monster" is here! 7,500lumens, 1,500m throw! Group buy Closed!

Why limit yourself to 12 cells if you can have 16 cells ? Multiple xhp70.2s are hungry :smiley:

All I can say is that a “more extreme” light is in the works. Far to early for anything more then that at this point.

16 cells? Definitely should get super long runtime.

Lumintop could easily manufacture an extension… I don’t think it will cost much…

why limit to 18650 only, how about 21700 or even 26650? tube size may be bigger, so is the capacity.

Because 18650 battery carriers are already designed… less work…

I actually saw one guy from blf was going to design an extension for the blf gt… I don’t know what happened…

Yep… :+1: And at this point in time 18650 is far more popular than 26650 which is far more popular than 21700.
That may or may not change in years to come… time will tell.

Here is a link to the 3rd battery carrier design for the blf gt.

I rather see lumintop make an extension… so all the pattern will match up.

Signed up for a conversion kit.

I am just about ready to Sign up for one conversion kit
(still trying to figure what I want / need to order)

hopefully the neutral tint will be in the 5000k-5500k range?

with a “wow light beam”
(or should I choose the cool white for this?)

I would add an extra bat carrier
-* if* a battery tube coupling can be purchased (so I can actually use it/ lol)

do I need a spare reflector and lens?
not sure why people a getting them?
(or will these just collect dust in a box like my short tube w no coupler?) :person_facepalming:

if we change our mind can we add parts later as needed?
(I really don’t know enough to make the best informed decision and this will be my first mod - but I can solder! )

I wish they would offer the engine and button section
( so I could simply switch back and forth if desired )

will this mod still throw the light for approx. a mile ?








; if ya can’t fix it with a hammer,

you’ve got an electrical problem
:wink:

Some people want an extra reflector and lens. If you dont, that is okay.

Orders can be changed later.

The throw distance is ANSI-FL1 rated 1400-1500 meters. This is conservative and is also dependant on the emitter chosen. With a sliced dome it should be well over 1 mile. A CW emitter might even bump it up even farther.

Has anyone with a GT70 prototype compared it to the Thrunite TN40 or a BTU SuperShocker? I would be very interested in such results.

@ Giggle Monster Team:
Just out of curiosity: Why did you choose to use an FET driver for the BLF GT70 and not a boost- or buck driver? Personally, I like the idea of constant output when voltage decreases. For sure, the FET will deliver the highest performance when pushing the light to its limits but this can only be done once with fully charged cells.

Signed up for a 4000k.
Too bad its priced twice as much as original gt gb tho.

Both of those lights have significantly smaller reflectors which means their hot spot is bigger which means less throw.

The TN40 has 4 x XPL, which is basically very similar to the 4 die xhp70, but it has much less output which gives it much less throw.

TN40 = 1150 meters
Shocker = 750 meters

Here is what TA said in another thread about this driver.

I think we all wish manufacturers would sell products at prices below their cost to make and ship them, but that’s how companies go out of business. :open_mouth:

So if you got a GT at $115, consider yourself lucky. Deals like that are rare. Now Lumintop has to make up for lost profits. :cry:
Lol
