I decided to upgrade the BLF GT to XHP70.3 HI, My BLF GT light was the original stock XHP35 HI model, and over the years I replaced the stock XHP35 HI led and driver to XHP70.2 With a TexasAce GT70 driver, and now I moved on to HXP70.3 HI with the same TA Driver.
More info about modding the GT on this thread
Purchased the XHP70.3 HI led from Kaidomain here
I polished the copper MCPCB before reflowing the XHP70.3 HI to get better heat transfer to the body of the light.
Here is a comparison beamshot against a stock AceBeam K70 thrower XHP35 HI Led with the the BLF GT XHP70.3 HI. both lights are on turbo. The beam on the modified GT is about 10% bigger than the beam of the AceBeam K70 but with at least twice the brightness! I love it! :heart_eyes:

My BLF GT is from the first series and it is still very stock. I’ve seen some mods that are a bit beyond my skills, because they were mostly based on reflowing the led.
If Luminton (Neal?) could update their conversion kit with an XHP70.3 HI led I probably would jump on the wagon.
I tried it outside last night and the 1 mm shim is a good focus, I did not notice any center hole in the beam at longer distances. Will leave it like that, This thing rocks!
