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…
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.

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.
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 …
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.
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.
