BLF GT (preliminary) modding thread

I have a BLF GT-70.2 and in my eyes the throw is not what shocks me. About 200 to 400 yards is hard for my eyes to determine throw, but not brightness.

A palm tree that I shot with my TN42 vn had a small tight circle of light on it (at the leaves) with the Thrunite TN42 vn. The same palm tree with the BLF GT-70 is in daylight the entire palm tree and houses and everything…… I mean 200 to 400 yards away in daylight…… It’s crazy……
!!

Yes, for practical ranges the XHP70.2 is a more useful light IMHO. I never would of guessed it would make these kinds of numbers.

That sounds good Manny! I would not mind a few pictures of that comparison!

Gave my GT a little personality today….

That looks really cool!
How much do they add to the throw? :slight_smile:

Nice. Throw distance is less as weight has been added to the light. :stuck_out_tongue:

BLF GT Pocket Edition:










Very Cool…… now you can clip it to the bill of your hat! :smiley: :+1:

That’s what I’m talking about waffle_stomper…. Looking GOOD!!! :smiley: . :beer:

That’s the Texas_Ace prototype that was sent to vestureofblood, right?

Nope - it was built by a guy on Reddit.

I wonder why he put that comic sans “G” on there? It reminds of that prototype that said Giggles.

I had not even noticed the “G”, but you are exactly right… it sure does look like ‘Giggles’. :+1:

Yeah, and VOB has a lathe. I thought he might have shortened it and cut new threads. Now that I think about it, it doesn’t really make sense for him to cut down the double length tube.

/\……. :+1:

I sent him a PM to ask about the G. This was his response:

Definitely a nod to the prototype.

The battery tube hasn’t been cut down - it’s a 3D printed part. Note that it’s missing the o-rings.

Nope, my light is still safe and sound with me, I still love the giggles engraving on it.

I did post the laser engraving file for the GT so I am guessing someone else used it to engrave their own.

Does it count if you measure the lux at 5m or should I be measuring it from farther away
Cause my GT gets 1,235,000 cd at 5m

5m is fine, usually the readings are a bit higher at 10m.
