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

I received 2 today, they’re gorgeous, great for gifting.
I hope those will be back in stock soon.

Still 18 left.

Maybe I should start a new thread about possible new batch.. Will do that during the weekend.

I’ll watch for that. Ended up ordering 10 of these. If the fit/finish and $7 price point can be kept these make good gifts

Only 10 left!

Just ordered two more. Now there is six left.

Approximately how long did it take for you guys to receive the light? I ordered on the 11/22 and they said it shipped 11/23. I’m in California

How did you have it shipped? It could take up to 6 weeks I guess. I think it took about two weeks to reach Wisconsin.

If we have got this right there should be 3 left now- I have just ordered 3.

Now it says out of stock when you try to order.

That's right. Both versions are now sold out.

I updated the OP and thread title to reflect this.

Thank you everyone for participating this GB!

Thank you for making it happen!

Just got mine, very nice, need another.

I’d be interested if there’s ever another group buy for a driver which has both low and high modes. The battery doesn’t last long with this driver, and it’s often too bright. Would be cool to have, perhaps, 5 lm and 50 lm, low first, with no memory.

It’s otherwise very nice though, and I really dig the pure white floody beam and seemingly-seamless body.

I’ve already received two orders. Only about 2 weeks after I received the shipped notification.
I’m in Oregon. USPS mail (free no fuss delivery option; default), no signature required.

Congratulations, _the_! Your group buy has been an unmitigated succcess.

This BLF-348 is a much better flashlight than I expected it would be. Tint and beam are excellent. The BLF-348 is a perfect around-the-house light. I have also experimented carrying it as an EDC light, but it may not have enough modes for that. Heretofore, my EDC has used AA or 18650. I find myself liking the diminutive size of AAA.

I agree with ToyKeeper that a 2-mode version might be nice. My only concern is PWM. One advantage of the single-mode light is the absence of PWM.

I suppose we should be having this discussion in the new thread when it starts, but I agree on differentiating the new buy somehow, preferably with an extra mode. I’d be in on that for sure.

Another batch would be nice, but don’t lower the high mode if the driver changes- that is one of the things that sets this light apart from the rest. Other multi-modes in a similar size can be bought for a reasonable price now though some are twistys. Let’s keep things simple and let’s keep BLF SE lights something very special.

And let’s go for something a little different if we do a ‘round 2’ GB, even though I think we’ve hit the bullseye with this one- adding a useable keychain hole would be enough to get me to buy even more.

Fortunately or not, God doesn’t filter embryos through some cosmic idiot screen. Nor parents nor politicians neither. We are left to our own devices when it comes to that. :stuck_out_tongue:

Personally speaking I’m glad of this or I wouldn’t have made the cut. Happy Holidays. :santa:
