BLF Special Edition Lights - Master List

Great thread emarked. What a nice thing to do. We appreciate your time and effort.

I for one didn’t realize there were this many BLF Special Edition lights. I have a couple but somehow have managed to miss many.

Thanks Again for the good work. TL

I have a DQG Tiny AAA Ti that is engraved “BLF”. I bought it off a member here. I don’t see any mention in this thread of it?
There are a few earlier ones on that list that I don’t have that I would love to get my hands on, lol…. collectors disease.

You’re welcome. Thanks for the thanks. Its been a fun project and I’ve learned a lot about blf while working through it.

Great, thanks for the lead. If you’ve got any more info I’d appreciate it. Approximate date? Link to thread would be awesome. Also, wanna sell it? My collector’s disease infection might be stronger than yours… :slight_smile:

A lot of stuff happened here before I joined, too, so I’m definitely at a disadvantage trying to piece all the history together. I’ll see what I can find on your mystery blf light.

I cant find any info on it. I can PM you who I bought it from, he may have more info. As far as selling it, prob not. It is one of my favorite lights (it is TINY, not much bigger than a AAA).

I also have a Starry Light BLF in cool as well as neutral. lol, has only been the last couple that I chose a tint and didn’t just buy one of each.

I may take you up on that if I have to but I’d rather try and find it myself before I start bothering folks about it. Thanks though, I may be back in touch.

I got the:

BLF X6-SE CW & WW
BLF A6 CW
Kronos X6 & X5 SS/Cu-set in the wooden box
Astrolux A01 Cu

The BLF-348 I did not buy. Previous to the GB I had a Singfire 348 that I gave away. I did not like it: Slippery When Wet.

At the moment I am re-assembling the X6-SE CW after dedoming the led. I have bought quite a few lights after that one but I am still pretty impressed by its build quality.

It might not be a BLF special edition. CNQG (who first carried this light) offers engraving for like $2 extra, and someone may have just decided to get BLF engraved on it.

I think CNQG did a group buy on the Tiny AAA II (steel) once, and (IIRC) a serial-numbered group buy on the DQG Spy, but I don’t recall any for a titanium version. You can check Ric’s threads for more details.

Edit: I couldn’t find the “Starry Light” group buy in Ric’s threads, and eventually found it here instead. So, it looks like there are CNQG group buys posted by people other than Ric. A search for the Tiny AAA Ti is likely to need a wider scope than I was thinking.

Ok, so when are are going to implement those here with the individual required skills to build a light from start to finish?

I think you need to start from Budget Lathe Forum, to build the tools to build the tools.

There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza, There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, There’s a hole. Then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry, Then fix …

That’s outside the scope of this list and I don’t think I’ll be tackling that project. Are you volunteering? :slight_smile:

  • #

you can do it …

- one partially used laptop pull .

- one xre q5 emitter on alum. star

- one small piece of wire

- one gently used band-aid

-one sharpie to do the logo with

There were BLF lanyards at one point too, sold by Manafont (now gone)…

Braided leather with BLF stamped or etched on the ferrule IIRC.

Now very rare collectors items, they rarely change hands on the black market for exorbitant sums…

Nice work!

the did the CNCQ AAA lights, either in double cell or single cell, with BLF and/or your name as desired. I do believe he negotiated for a better emitter than was available for sale so it does constitute a BLF Special Edition. I got one in single AAA for my son with his name on it and I got a double cell for me with DB Custom on it. :wink:

Only 2 but very happy with those ….

- RoMiSen BLF UV Special

  • GBGB BLF-348

Well the cool thing about BLF is of course the community spirit. Just look at the Q8 project, no way I have the skills to develop something like it but the Q-team grew and now we have a group of highly skilled people besides BLF as a whole to help out.

thanks for putting this together. Its nice to see a list & all the custom lights.

Thank you.

Awesome list
