Don’t listen to him. My shoes look like gaping (old) alligators.
But I don’t care as long as they keep my feet dry and warm.
Ironically, the most expensive shoes don’t keep your feet warm or dry.
Nice I like it!
You are going to have to move out west to use it. Can’t wait for the beam shots.
This looks like a winner~!
Is it a bit of a pencil beam? How does the SFT40 throw compare to the XHP35.HI that GTs originally came with?
I think that lux reading was made from 10 meters, btw. 1.8Mcd

this is the light i was eluding to!

ill have to check his notes to me again.
I have a GT with a black flat and it is awsome to.

Nice ..
There is only one direction left to point it ....Up !
It needs like 45 layers of dc-fix
Nice, I figured it wouldnt take long for someone to do this
Would have saved time had this LED been around when the GT was made

i don't have the original xhp35 HI version, but I have to imagine this is similar but throws further.. I think? It lights things up in the foreground too. It's amazing lol, I'll how it in beamshots, been raining for 2 nights here now of course.
Nice …

I thought I was the only one to put DC Fix on a thrower.

5 meters, indoors, using a Extech LT45. This is how I've been doing all my throw measurements, least I'm consistent with my self
The original BLF GT that I measured at 5m did 857 kcd, but I have a note that the best # I measured at 5 m was 957 kcd.
I measure throw from 7 meters normally, but have the option for 12.5 meters. My original GT did not measure more than a few percent different for those two distances (can’t remember the exact numbers). So I expect that 5 meter will get close enough numbers too.
I used the driver from the BLF GT90 conversion kit and the biggest 5050 MCPCB I could find:
Took the original XHP35-HI centering piece and opened up the hole:
Tested amps using the long leads I did for reducing voltage/amps:
Pushing the limits:
Thanks for adding that Tom!

Okay… I was thrown off here by the format Artie used. 1803kcd or 1.8Mcd back calculated from 5m. The way I read it I thought there was a units typo and it was 1803lux @ x meters, which obviously would have to be ten for 2686m of throw. Sorry gents, carry on.
