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

Is there an anduril build available for the GT70?

I don’t know actually. It uses the same driver setup as the MT09R, so firmware for that driver should also work on this one.

Just received message from DHL that the GT70 will be here in Pennsylvania on Thursday.

I would love to see that as well! Been on the fence about dedoming it for a while now due to the tint shift.

Anyone’s conversion kit ship out yet? Still at “wait for shipping” status on mine.

Anyone have the original FW and fuse settings? I can confirm that the existing GT FW does not work well.

None of the conversion kits made it out before the Holiday in china. They should hopefully make it out next week if all goes well, although I would not be surprised if it was the week after that.

Nope, the stock firmware would not work well at all, completely different driver.

I posted the source code and driver designs in the firmware thread recently: 46mm Texas_Avenger LDO Driver for MT09R or GT70

Did you all have to pay extra for the DHL shipping through Lumintop? Or is it just their standard shipping?

Nope… As was mentioned a few post ago, no conversion kits have shipped yet. :+1:

For us here in the USA & for these large, somewhat expensive lights; it is “Standard Shipping”.

Just got mine delivered by DHL.

BTW, in case you purchased the 30Q batteries with your light, there is a sticker on negative/bottom end of each cell the needs to be peeled off before use.

I didn’t know about the sticker and I thought there was something wrong with my light for well over 2mins…….very stressful 2 minutes :stuck_out_tongue:

Enjoy!

That is part of the benefit of this group buy, you get the express shipping as the standard shipping method to most areas. Some of the more remote or more strict customs countries have to be shipped by other means though.

Thanks, TA! I should have backed up the flash…

It is well packaged:


Out of the box:

Wait:

I have damage to the top edge at about 12:00 & 10:00. There is thread damage at about 8:00. (The white at 4:00 is just a piece of papertowel.)

If you look back at the 2nd and 3rd pictures above, now that you know to look for it, you can see some of this before it was taken out of the box.

Threads 1, 2 & 3 (from the top) have been damaged and (harder to see) thread 2 has a sharp point sticking up.


I don’t want to use this tube for fear of scratching the threads inside the head. (The head is far more expensive than a tube.) Fortunately I have a tube from the original BLF GT (not GT70) that I can use tonight.

To be clear - I’m not upset. Stuff happens. I have a battery tube so I can play now, and I’m sure LT will make things right after the holiday.

I seriously doubt Lumintop will do anything about those threads. It looks like you can easily clean them up with a little file and they will be fine.

My NW BLF GT70 was just delivered. Looks good so far. Charging supplied batteries. Will test drive it tonight. :-)

BTW, I'm surprised how fast it was shipped by DHL.

Also, just sold my original BLF GT yesterday :-( But I still have the BLT GTvn :-) It will be interesting to see how the BLF GT70 & GTvn compare.

How long did it take for them to ship the orders?

Also Texas Ace thank you big time for the response my friend about the shipping that is great to know about the very fast shipping. I keep going back and forth of getting a GT light but going to pull the trigger on picking it up in the AM.

Once DHL gets their hands on it you should have it in 2 or 3 days.
If you happen to live in a remote area of the Wind River Range, Elk City Idaho, or somewhere similar…… it might take a couple days longer. :wink:

Maybe they will… maybe they won’t.
No need for contemplation though. Lumintop will have to answer the question.
Good luck Mr. Scott, hopefully LT will just send you another tube. . :+1:
