BLF Special Edition Lights - Master List

Hello BLFers and curious lurkers,

This post intends to serve as a comprehensive index of the BLF Special Edition lights this forums has produced as well as upcoming Special Edition projects that seem promising. It lists those rare lights that only exist due to the efforts of this community - lights that are designed or modified by BLF members and produced through their efforts, either by working with a manufacturer or even by their own hand in quantities > 1ish, not one-off custom lights. To that goal, it is incomplete! If you see errors or missing information, please let me know. This chart will only be made complete by the efforts of the community.

Always check each light’s thread for the latest status or info!


A few explanations:

  • The name of the light links to the build thread or other discussion thread about the light. Full details about the build can be found there, including ordering information.

  • The date field lists the actual release date of the light. This is the time when the light actually became available to purchase. In most cases there were many months of work leading up to that time. All those details can be found in the build threads, if you’re curious. There are two “special” dates used:

    • SOON: These are projects that have a finished design, have met their minimum purchase commitments, and have moved into production. Barring some unforeseen complication, these lights are going to be made. Your chance to get your hands on one of these lights may be rapidly slipping away.

    • WIP: These are projects that are still in the design phase and/or are still trying to fill their minimum purchase commitments, but they’re active projects that look promising. Drop by these threads and see if you can help out. They need you!

Again, please let me know if see something that needs correcting or adding. Thanks in advance!

Hey emarkd :bigsmile:
Good idea putting this list together, Will be a useful tool i imagine. Just one thing, the Romisen link you’ve got up goes to the A6 thread. Here’s the correct url for the Romisen. (gb=closed) Only 50 lights were delivered and sent out, *BLF special* Romisen 365/400nm 2xUV SSflashlight, gb with Tinywind

Cheers,

-KK :face_with_monocle:

I’ve got a couple from years ago. Mr.lite made us a BLF edition found here:

and tank007 made an e07 BLF special edition found here:

As far as I know, these were the ‘original’ special editions. As you can see from the years of the threads, they are classics, but they hold a spot in my heart. Times were simpler back then it seems.

Reference: GB Interest ///OFFICIALLY CLOSED 11/8 @ 9pm CST/Maxtoch M24 Sniper with XP-L HI /// 250K lux @ 4.3 Amps!!!

GB Maxtoch M24 Sniper. Still undecided on whether this will be “Special Edition” or “Thrower Edition”.

BLF Trustfire A8
BLF Thrunite Saber 1A

Hey Kane, thanks for the catch! Copy/paste fail.

Awesome, thanks! Great BLF history from way before my time.

Yeah, I can’t believe I forgot that one last night. Thanks!

Nice, thanks!

I’ve got my original updated with all these new lights. Thanks everyone for helping me with this. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere else, its helping me learn some of the history around here, and I really appreciate it.

Excellent thread, thanks for this!

Rey BLF-Ti
Rey X6 Ti
BLF lumintop SD10

Lumintop BLF SD10

I think that there was the original/earlier SD10 and now Rey is working on the “new” SD10 GB:

I missed the 1st one but am waiting for the new one…

Great thread! Watching with interest.

Great shopping list you have there :smiley:

Impressive list of lights! :exmark:

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the help and the support. I’ll get my original post edited with the extra lights this afternoon.

Yeah, I’d love to have a full set. I’m sure there are old-timers around here who do. I’ve only got one BLF light at the moment, the original X6-SE, but I’m on the list for all of the ongoing group buys and I’m in an ongoing negotiation with someone for another BLF light. So yeah, if anyone has any of these older BLF lights and wants to part with them, I may be interested. :slight_smile:

Was there a Starry Light or somesuch?

ah yes, good memory!

There as also the trustfire mini 1, mini 2, and possibly mini 3. Here were put together by Rey before and after the TF A8

There was also a CNQG 2*AAA stainless steel penlight and single AAA stainless penlights.

I have some mini 01’s and forgot about them.

Custom info on the BLF Trustfire mini-01: 1000Hz pwm, mode order l-m-h 2%-25%-100%
