why not make a flashlight from BLF self ?
always available … the brand of BLF itself, with any gain as sponsorship for expenses and optimization of the site.
eg a KE5 with brass pill, qlittle driver and xml2
with a nice logo on both sides and a blue button
all those visitors here “I’m new and I’m looking for a good flashlight”
you are going to sell thousands … BLF
How do you know that Bort is not a graphic design artist who designs logos and packaging?
Bort is not, but if that were used for a mass market product i am sure it will be despised, its hideous and belongs on a list of failed products
In for one !
Count me in on one of these. Only read the first couple posts though..
How about a BLF logo competition?
Count me in too…
I am in for 1 
Some answers:
- Tint will be 3C
- Holster is included
- BLF logo will be just "BLF"-text printed to the head of the light
- Logo printing is optional -> it's possible to order the light without BLF logo
Ps. Ric got a pre-production sample, which is still CW and without memory. He says the quality is good and threads seem to be smooth & totally ok, but he'll send that to me with DHL, so I can check those too..
I would love one!
Thx for the opportunity!
Looks like you have some movement on figuring out is this Group Buy will fly
Thanks for doing this
DAM...was really wanting a 4C.
Still in though.
I’m in for 1 also, pending review of the sample
I was really wanting 4C too for gifts, others have commented on the warm 4C tint I have and like it. Since I have not tried 3C before, intended recipients haven’t seen it, and the head issue seems to not really be mentioned, I’d probably reduce from 2-4 for gifts to 1 if its 3C. Prob would increase to 4 if both addressed!
Sounds good so far. Will be in for 1 or 2 after the review. Thanks.
Do they do 0.2% of lumens or current? I'd bet it's current, which means it would be a lot more than 0.2% of lumens.
3c is almost too warm, but I’m still in pending review.
i figure it would be about 3 lumens, which is not at all bad, its probably about average for incandescent bulb flashlights
I’m in for one.
So what’s the best guess on lumens?
3, 30, 300, 880? Or something like that?
Comparing it to other 4xAA flashlights, a listed time of 2 hrs 15 minutes for 880 lumens did seem a bit optimistic. For reference, some test results for other 4xAA flashlights:
Jetbeam PA40: 2.5 hrs at 468 lumens
Sunwayman D40A: 1.7 hours at 550 lumens.
Clearly, this light won’t be as good as those. To expect 880 lumens instead of their 500ish was rather “optimistic” on their part. So relatively, 40 minutes or so at 880 lumens isn’t so bad.
What I think will be more interesting/useful is the Medium mode. The listed medium on the factory-standard Starry Light is 400 lumens at 4 hours 40 minutes, or 150 lumens for 12 hours. More realistically:
Jetbeam PA40: 220 lumens for 6 hours
Sunwayman D40A: 220 lumens, 4 hours
Relatively, assuming Starry Light is overstating their ratings by a factor of three, you’re looking at a Mid of 400 lumens for 1.5 hours, or 150 lumens for 4 hours. Either way, I think that compares very favorably with the other two models.
That's in the ballpark. I'd like to say I'm in for one if the review is good, but I'm hoping the top post gets updated or pm's get sent out because I'm not going to even try following this thread that's already a hundred posts long even though the gb is still a long ways from kicking off.
Let me throw some calculations into this. Using the Cree calculator, 880 emitter lumens would be achieved with somewhere between 2.35A and 2.40A, and 0.2% of that is 4.7mA. That's the same as my XinTD X3 from IOS.
