Been a While....What is highest BLF Lumens Light

rangerhd · 2019-10-17T23:42:35.000Z

So it has been a while since I have been on here. I signed up for the lantern a long time ago and got back to the site when I received update it is ready! Joy! Anyway, the last BLF lights I bought myself and my friends were a couple BLF 18650 lights that were just amazing. I still use them today. I cannot think of their names right now and the lights themselves are up in the house.

Anyway, what have I missed out on. So today I ordered a FW3A, as it appears new and Kick A$$ light! I also ordered a lantern and the $6.89 sofirn light….I believe it was one of the ones I bought way back when.

So what other BLF lights have I missed out on in the last few years. Is there a “big dog” BLF light? Lots of lumens to impress my friends? I blow them away with these single 18650 BLF lights and cannot wait to get a FW3A in my hands!

Lemme know what else I need to buy!

Welcome back!

You should check out the Emisar lights! The D4S would be a nice complement to your FW3A and the new thrower they are about to announce should be extremely impressive as well. All of the Emisar lights are about as optimized as they could be given the size and form factor.

Check out the Q8! I think that’s the brightest BLF light

By the way, it was the A6 I bought for 4 of my good friends.

I saw the Q8. It looks impressive.

I have a Nitecore TM16 was the last really big search light. Anything big and bad like that? I paid like $125 dollars for that light and it is fine but I really really like the charger port.

And I assume the FW3A is 2,800 lumens…point it at a deer and it sets on fire?

I love my FW3Xs (I have 3 “A”s a Ti/Cu and an EDC18) but the Emisar D4V2 and D4SV2 are pretty amazing too.

I had a ROT66 V2 ordered but I canceled it because Bangood hadn’t shipped it after about a month. I will probably try again or go with the D18 since I’ve been so happy with my Emisars.

lionheart_2281 · 2019-10-18T00:03:37.000Z

I’d get a D4v2 before the FW3A to be honest, the FW3A just gets too hot too fast

Where do I get this D4v2? Any codes? I have the FW3A on order but if this light is great I will buy it as well. Trying to find a simple review on it.

Here or here mate

Watermanchris · 2019-10-18T00:18:27.000Z

I got my D4V2 from Mtn Electronics. It’s priced very good. I ordered the D4SV2 from Hank at International Outdoor. The Aux LEDs are cool and it’s a really nice light.

Legolas_Jr · 2019-10-18T00:33:12.000Z

D4V2 is my favorite light! It is very similar to the FW3A in form factor but it is an amazing light and far brighter. Here’s the review from TK:

TK's Emisar D4V2 review 18650 Flashlights

Emisar D4 (V2) This is the updated 2019 version of the Emisar D4, produced by Hank Wang of Intl-Outdoor. [image] Disclaimer: I helped make this. I’m not an impartial reviewer. This thread is primarily intended to answer everyone’s questions about this brand new product. I reviewed the original Emisar D4 too, if you’d like more pictures, information, and background context about this light. What’s New? If you’re already familiar with the original D4 and just want to know what changed, h…

Well… When you say BLF light, do you mean specifically designed by BLF members? Or do you mean any manufacturer that you can find on here but not in a place like big 5 and Walmart?

Imalent has reached the 100,000 lumens mark with the ms18. Acebeam released a beast of a thrower in the K75.

LED technology has been increasing rapidly in the last year or so. If you are looking for a budget thrower, look up the Astrolux FT03. There is an active groupbuy and it’s quite cheap.

amishbill · 2019-10-18T02:13:01.000Z

BLF SP36?

In the Just Released but few delivered category, maybe EDC18 or MF01 Mini? The 18 is a side clicky FW3a variant, and the MF01 Mini isn’t a BLF collaboration, but it does run Anduril and have some nice features.

You missed Giggles, THE big dog of big dogs. Check out the BLF GT70, it will reach out @ 2 miles. It may impress your friends, it may equally terrify them. It’s almost too much. How can everyone forget it so soon?

Only if you refer to the XHP35 version, the XHP70 version is driven HARD !

XHP70 wasn’t a BLF light

(technicalities lol)

Yokiamy · 2019-10-18T21:12:49.000Z

I disagree, it was made possible by several BLF members

The GT group buy came with the XHP35, not the XHP70, that was a later option
