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

Hi.

My GT70 has the ā€œnew carrierā€ and battery over 67.30 mm will NOT fitā€¦

If somebody else has measured something else please update.

I have an extra set of Stock BLF GT35 battery carriers (better fit for protected batteries) if someone in the U.S. wants to trade for their GT70 shorty carriers, they are like newā€¦?

So what do you want to change?

If Lumintop keeps the new shorter carriers, I will remove ā€œprotectedā€.

Thank you!

Writing the manual and checking if everything is OK would be easier when the writer has a lamp to compare.
But there is never one. Only asking stuff via emails.
:wink:

I only mentioned that because there are some minor grammatical errors. Not because of the carriers. I was unaware a forum member wrote it. :smiley:

@TK
Oh, you made the shirt the wrong way.
Text and pics on a shirt like this need to be upside down, so you can read it.

Does the BLF GT70 have a battery low-voltage protection like in the Sofirn flashlights?

How do I know Iā€™m not pushing the non-protected batteries too much when using the flashlight?

I like blf gt so much and now I own 4. Lol

Iā€™m fairly sure it will shut down, and I donā€™t believe youā€™ll be able to push the 30Qā€™s to far, you can run this light on 4 batteries, actually I think it will run on one if I recall. I can assure you that thereā€™s nothing to worry about especially when TA is behind the drivers functions.

Newlumen, are those Astroā€™s on both ends?
If so how are they ? Been looking at those and thinking about getting one but really they look like knockoff GTā€™s, still tempted thoughā€¦ ha ha
Iā€™m Addicted to anything that lights up.

I read the user manual and didnā€™t find mention of auto shut-off when battery voltage is low.

I think that information is worth inclusion in the user manual if Lumintop decided to revise the user manual.

Gives the user more fun in using the flashlight knowing that it will auto shut-off or give some conspicuous signal like flashing of light when the battery voltage reached a certain low-voltage level.

I donā€™t know what will happen If I let the flashlight drain the batteries down in use. Will it explode in my hands?

Hey Verge on the first page of the user manual titled Safety precautions which was for the GT XHP35 but same thing as the GT70 it says on section 4,
Remove and recharge cells when the low voltage indications is given by the GT (repeated step-downs in light levels and eventual shutdown of the light.)
Direct quote for you friend, so have fun and no worriesā€¦ :slight_smile:

When voltage reaches 3v it will blink 3 times and step down to a lower level. I think it will shut off the light completely at 2.8v. (Donā€™t qoute me on the exact voltage) So there is no chance of over discharging the cells.

There is a small amount of parasitic drain when off, though. So if you donā€™t plan to use the light for several months, itā€™s best to turn the tail cap to cut all power.

The emitter is 12v so you have to have at least 4 cells in a carrier. The other carrier can be empty if you want.

Yesā€¦ astrolux mf04 xhp35 cw and mf04s xhp70.2 cwā€¦ mf04s is really nice light but little bit greenā€¦ lumen spec is very similiar to blf gt70ā€¦

you probably wonā€™t have any hands if it explodes :open_mouth: ā€¦. :smiley:

You can see the LVP work in this video at 2:05.

Different light, but same firmware.

Thanks for the info Newlumen, I think Iā€™m going to pass on those as tempted as I am, I am getting way to many huge lights lately but Iā€™m darn happy thatā€™s for sure.
Is purchasing flashlights tax deductible on my income tax, ha ha Mr. JASONā€¦ ha ha ha

I missed that, my bad.

Good to know, thanks for pointing that out to me.

My mind is stuck in the Sofirn text of its battery low-voltage protection.

I remember reading in one of the posts in this forum or at the other forum some years ago about rechargable lithium batteries exploding inside the flashlight.

The explosion caused the flashlightā€™s end cap to shoot out like a bullet and fortunately just hit a wall.

Thanks for the information JasonWW. That gives me more confidence in using the BLF GT70 flashlight.

That technical information is worth including in the BLF GT70 User Manual.

More information about the safety features of the BLF GT70 is worth passing on to the users. :slight_smile:
