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 looks really cool!
How much do they add to the throw?

Nice. Throw distance is less as weight has been added to the light.
Very Cool…… now you can clip it to the bill of your hat! :+1:

That’s the Texas_Ace prototype that was sent to vestureofblood, right?

I wonder why he put that comic sans “G” on there? It reminds of that prototype that said Giggles.

I had not even noticed the “G”, but you are exactly right… it sure does look like ‘Giggles’. :+1:

Yeah, and VOB has a lathe. I thought he might have shortened it and cut new threads. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t really make sense for him to cut down the double length tube.
I sent him a PM to ask about the G. This was his response:
Definitely a nod to the prototype.
The battery tube hasn’t been cut down - it’s a 3D printed part. Note that it’s missing the o-rings.

Nope, my light is still safe and sound with me, I still love the giggles engraving on it.
I did post the laser engraving file for the GT so I am guessing someone else used it to engrave their own.

Does it count if you measure the lux at 5m or should I be measuring it from farther away
Cause my GT gets 1,235,000 cd at 5m

5m is fine, usually the readings are a bit higher at 10m.
