BLF Special Edition Lights - Master List

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

checking in! i wonder how long this list is going to be in another 7 years time :+1:

How did I miss this thread? Excellent work, thank you for keeping the list updated.

I have this BLF light I bought 3 or 4 years ago before I knew there was a blf forum.
The only markings I can find are BLF special edition.
It has an orange peel reflector and runs on 18650.
Does anyone have any info on this light.
Someone e- mailed me and said it was available and it was a good deal. I don’t remember where I bought it.

Thanks G. Much appreciated.

Hey emarkd, here is another BLF light to add to the list. The xhp70.2 version of the BLF GT.

The sign up sheet is active.

Thanks Jason, you’re right. That one is moving very quickly and I hadn’t added it yet. Fixed.

I also removed the K70 project. If someone knows differently let me know, but a quick skim of the thread indicates that one is not going to happen. :confused:

Hello emarked, awesome list

I miss the SP70
BLF Special Light by Sofirn Named SP70

XHP 70.2, 2x 26650 and a ramping user interface similar to NarsilM

And the Sofirn AAA Juji got an official name
Sofirn C01 a AAA Juji High-CRI

What about the Sofirn Q8? it is the same light with Hi-LEDs and 6500K 600m reach,
instead of HD and 5000K 4600m reach

Wondering how this all works, seems to be some gray areas now. Is the Sofirn Q8 really a BLF light? Hhhmm, certainly they are not listening to us as they did on the Q8, but they are using BLF supplied designs (driver/firmware). I'm seeing some FET+1 driver designs show up in other lights, but using their own MCU and firmware, but clearly they copied our hardware driver design - The Amutorch AX3 is one example.

I guess in the past, we called a BLF light with maybe a request for a specific LED/tint, specific modes, added BLF labeling, then group buy discount - that was all.

The Sofirn Q8 is missing "BLF" on the light at least. Group buys are rampant, not BLF lights per say.

No, by this standard it is not a BLF special!
(and the FW3A has no label at all)

Yea, it is probably better to leave it out.

Sofirn produce the BLF Q8 for Thorfire. It is the closest sibling you can get.
I think the treading in the head has a different hight.

Also Sofirn makes extension tubes for both versions (Work in progress) and you get MCPCP and other parts for the BLF Q8 from them.

They are the original manufacturer.

I thought the Sofirn Q8 is for people who want a cooler light. eg. like JasonWW.
