BLF Designed Budget Thrower GB Question

LED Flashlights – General Info
54

Is there ANY that size? I’m thinking about the Maxtoch 2X

Its 68mm dia

55

Now I think the issue would be either to run a GB for light with the Acebeam K40 kinda build or the plunger styled lights…

What you have just described is EXACTLY what I want, David!

I have an Acebeam K40M and it needs a THROWY partner:-)

Thanks!

+2 :bigsmile:

Oh yeah, just remembered - the Courui D01 needs a better thermal path from the emitter. The thin pill/plate that is used in the stock light is not going to work for a hot-rod mod! Some guys have already in the past made and sold replacement pills for this light, so we at least know what we need already. :wink:

So, if we’re in agreement about the BLF Courui D01-SE group buy, who’s gonna be the one to get it going? 8)

59

Well, I for one like the way you’re thinking, so How About You, David?

Thank you very much!

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha! :smiley:

Oh wait. You’re serious? :open_mouth:

Sorry, haven’t got the time. If I did have any spare time right now, I’d be working on my contest light. :frowning:

I have been wanting a GB for a Thrower. It seems the magic number for GBs is $20.00 to $30.00 how much can you exect this GB to be?

@DavidEF,

Actually I Was being serious.

Who more knowledgeable than you, a Man that understands the parameters ahead of time, and (with permission) the driver all sorted out beforehand?

There is Always a way to make more time (is a divorce all that bad?) - Just less of this and less of that in your life, but just think about all of the praise you will receive from the BLF community! - WE are Many, and will support you all the way! - That should be what’s really important to you. - Helping Others.

Hey! - We Love You Man!

I’m Totally Convinced that… You Are Da Man for This!

Just Roll with it man… :slight_smile:

I don’t remember if anyone else has suggested being able to lego X6 or A6 bodies and extensions but it might be nice.
:slight_smile:

BLF is you. Start a thread and make it happen.

66

that would sell on a T-shirt….

67

…on the back of the TK BLF A6-SE UI diagram t-shirt! :wink:

Hmm, spectacular thrower light made to BLF desired specs sounds great!

69

Good idea!! I will tell Neal. He has some ideas too :)

Very true about the "sweet spot"...buy many and give them away knowing that they cannot be had elsewhere :)

I do not know anything about where this would go BUT...

  • Triples....3 expensive emitters on a board with optics alone is going to run about $40....without the host.
  • Host prototyping is where the money really goes. $600-1000 without even thinking. Do it a few times and we could spend thousands on prototypes. That gets added
  • The list goes on

Not trying to discourage anybody and open dialog is good but bigger-headed lights get expensive quickly. If you know what driver...then look for a ready host. Fastest, cheapest, easiest way.

Well, there’s one thing that we don’t have to worry about - A Triple is Not what I would call a Thrower.

There has got to be a good host out there somewhere that we could use as a base… I keep thinking Courui D01, but will they play ball?

Thanks,
-Chuck

Yes Sir!

But, Throwers that also Flood make it awful hard to see down range, with the high foreground brightness blasting me in the face.

Thanks!
