Sold out! - GBGB: BLF-348 - Classy and Small 1xAAA Stainless Steel light, with Nichia NVSW219B-V1 R9050

Well, in my case, when I receive A pm, I expect it to be from a GB or something that I am participating in, a great deal, or a reply from something I asked. At least something important.

When I receive a mail notification and I rush to the site to read, only to find out it’s an idiot that can’t read or a joke, that annoys me.

Oh, and your video reviews on youtube? Those I love.
The jokes make them so much better to watch then just 2 boring hands that show the light and tell the specs and such. Although very informative, I like yours way better.

Thanks man!

The stock clips seem better this year — last year’s stock clips seemed to slip off the lights I have all too easily.
I bought CNQ clips a while back, to have for this year’s lights. I still like the CNQ clips a little better.
But this year’s CNQ clips came rather dirty-looking, which makes me wonder if they’ll eventually corrode.
Lottery, lottery ….

The ideal ‘clip’ for me is still the very simple — and unavailable — “Preon ring” that came with those lights — just a ring that fits around the threads, with a little tiny tab with a hole in it just big enough to take a split ring.
They came with the Preons in the past. Nicely polished rounded edges, not just punched out of sheet metal, and black enameled or anodized.

Bother.

You need more? I bought several Cnq clips but like the stock ones better.

No holes in any of the three of my lights.

Seems like there are some variations in manufacture. :sushi:

Instead of getting upset, now, I just simply put a block on the sender.

Not a perfect solution, but works for me. :beer:

This batch should be without that hole. I asked for it, but Factory refused to do it.. (probably a tooling issue - or just too costly to manufacture)

That being said, they may have had some spare bodies from some earlier batch. (just assembling them with the Nichia emitter). If you got one with a hole, be happy with it. If not, you got what we ordered. :)

None of the samples and all of my lights I have opened/checked have had the hole.


As for the FT light being the same, that's mostly correct. However, the switch might be different (more loose, rattling, softer spring). That was one of the changes the factory did for us. :)

I'd suggest success breeds contempt. Keep it up.

Got mine a couple days ago. Pretty sweet. I'm not a good judge of CRI, but it looks darn good to me.

The outstandingly good news is, nobody replied-all to that in the message system. Good crowd here.

Ordered when code was first provided and received my 5 today. All work well, leds are centered. No hole. Impressed with the quality of machining especially at this price point. Joints are nearly invisible though some are better than others. My first Nichia of this type and I like the tint, color rendition. If it sounds like I’m happy it’s ’cause I am.
Thanks the, nice job.

im new, whats the diff between these and the Singfire 348?

Yeah, that’s the experience I’m having NightSpy. As long as I’m holding it in my hand, it doesn’t get unbearable and I wouldn’t want to set it down with it on using the 10440.

I tried a Energizer lithium cell in it and to me, it’s almost twice as bright using the 10440.

Emitter is way better, switch a bit better, and (optional) engraving looks cool. :)

Compare it to some other lights by shining it on some bare wood, should notice the difference.

Received mine today, and it was definitely worth the wait! I’ll be ordering more as gifts for some friends.

Thanks!

I don’t have a use for more of those clips myself, but anyone who wants something a bit stronger ought to take a look at them.

Prices are 7,14 (blf) and 7,42 now. No we can apply some points =)

Black Friday deal

yay!! Purchased one for $4.91 :smiley: Awesome deal!!
@antiparanoico: Thanks!

I can confirm that, side by side, the BLF tail button feels nicer, less loose. :-)
