With BLF lights I would dream a little bit bigger than a sort of a toolbox light. My proposal would be a BLF alternative to any of these large models: Acebeam K65, Thrunite TN40S, Fenix TK75. All come with great output and throw.
I understand what you are saying. :+1: . BUTâŚâŚ you are assuming some factory worker, who may have never dedomed anything; can do it with the skill & accuracy of a seasoned modder.
That âassumptionâ could well be a recipe for disaster in this, or any group buy. Unless a âfactoryâ has proven they can dedome properly this should not even be a consideration.
The same thing is going on in the GT70 Group Buy. A dedomed emitter âmay be an optionâŚâŚ âŚâŚ BUT only if Lumintop can prove to TA that they can dedome properly.
As was said earlier⌠if someone wants this light dedomed they should do it themselves or send it to a skilled modder to have it done.
I pitched them the idea of using NarsilM or Anduril, because that is what I prefer, but they seem to want to make their own UI. I believe the BLF drivers that use NarsilM are quite a bit more expensive to manufacture due to the premium parts, etc⌠This would in turn raise the selling price which no one wants. Hopefully the factory driver and new UI we are working on will be just fine for the vast majority of buyers. It should be wayyy better than what youâll get in the S70s and L6.
I think having two sides switches would overly complicate things, plus itâs not really necessary.
Built-in charging is a no-go due to the batteries being in series. The only safe way to do it would be for Sofirn to use a battery pack. Iâm sure nobody wants a battery pack.
Nobody has to actually use the tail switch if they donât want to. It would just be an easy way to cut all power for when the light is being stored or transported. Itâs also good for modders who are going to swap the driver out. Using a flat tail cap might reduce the overall length by about three quarters of an inch. Itâs possible they may offer a flat tail cap later.
Here are two of VOBâs videos on slicing the dome. I did this myself, itâs not too hard. If you can solder the 2 wires and have a sharp razor blade, you can do it. You might not even need to do the soldering part.

I also support the idea, that the dedoming should be at own risk. Besides that, check any video on Acebeams K65 that comes with factory dedomed XHP70.2. Seems the dedoming resulted in piss-poor yelowish or pukey-green tint.
How many people would love to have extra blinky modes like Beacon, SOS, Strobe? I think it could be made. But how do we hide them? Double click to Turbe(click to go back), another double click to SOS (click back to Turbo), another double click to Beacon1(click back to Turbo), another double click to Beacon2(click back to Turbo), make double click to cycle through Tubo-SOS-Beacon1-Beacon2-Strobe, something like that? Any ideas?
We never did a group buy before. Help will be much appreciated.
It would be great if people who get in K70 group buy come to this one. More people get in, lower cost it would be, then we can see if we can offer better price.
Furthermore, we are not quite sure if itâs a BLF SP70 or Sofirn SP70. Both works fine for us. If you guys want BLF SP70 or name it other way, anyone can make a logo for it? Is it necessary?
