Great thanks for the info! I think eventhough it doesn’t have the silly low vF for max output, it is at least 10% more efficient so longer run time and runs cooler. Good to have this option. Hope you bought it with the 10% coupon code “newgrandkd”. If that doesn’t work anymore, there is still a 5% coupon code “blf”.
I’ve had my Cool White BLF GT70 for several weeks now. All I can say is thanks to all involved with it design. I’m more than thrilled with my purchase.
Well my GT70 came in today, wow this light is huge especially compared to stuff like the DX80 that I thought was big. NealsGadgets did a killer job with packaging and shipping, def recommend him big time.
Now question does anyone know anyone in the US that sells the light cap? I ordered the bag and forgot the cap
Sites that sell camera equipment like Adorama or BHphotovideo sell similar ones. Search for Op/tech hood hat xx-large. They are excellent quality and are made in the USA.
THANK YOU very much for this info you and Texas Ace!! I really appreciate it. Apparently it was suppose to come with it from Neal and it was accidentally left out, no biggie.
I might pick up one of these from Amazon, since they fit so good and have protection.
It was a struggle for me as well, a couple of pull tabs would’ve been helpful. As much trouble it was to get the cover on, I’m not sure it’ll get used as much as it should. Does anyone make a hard cover or maybe we can fashion one out of a PVC endcap from home depot?
For anyone who wants a perfect fitting ’lens cap’, if you have a WalMart close by; purchase a Large size of the Great Value Oats.
The plastic top is a perfect fit to make a great ‘lens cap’ for the GT. :+1:
It is a secure fit too, it stays on quite well.
Plus you get some good eating, healthy oats for breakfast….

I received my GT70 last night and when I pulled it out of the package there was definitely a giggle. This is my first time seeing the gt host and it’s amazing quality, thanks for all the hard work on this one fellas. I’ll be posting some beam shots of this bad boy this weekend.
I am impressed by the Lumintop BLF GT70. I had the opportunity to try out a couple of different CREE XHP70.2 LED flashlights. They were all too floody for my tastes. This is a floody LED. Even in a 70mm smooth reflector, the beam pattern was a triangular flood. Finally, with the beast-size of the BLF GT reflector, the beam pattern has been tamed to that of the Olight SR90. I love it! Thick straight beam out as far as the eye can see, and more. Just like the way the old Olight SR90 was. Giggles.
