Yeah, sure enough. I’ll PM him. As long as you post in this thread is what counts.
Steel_1024 is a member here, and apparently a friend of Neal I think. He received one of the first production units for testing and posted pictures earlier in this thread.
Oh ok. Thanks
That’s Steel_1024. As I posted earlier, Neal sent him one (maybe 10 to 12 days ago?) to test out. He is the one who caught the driver programming error and the switch boot.
Glad to see The Miller back! :+1:
Hi senior BLF members,
I am new to this forum, and hv no experiences in flashlight.
I would like to know if it is possible to have flashlight with combination of flood and throw, regardless of the head sizes ?
For example,
(1) head diameter of 18-21 cm with 38,000 lm + 2,500 meters throw, remain in turbo mode for a useful 30 minutes, fan cooled, 12*18650 batts (say about 200-225W) ?
(2) head diameter of 14 –15 cm with 30,000 lm + 1,700 meters throw, remain in turbo mode for a useful 30 minutes, fan cooled, 12*18650 batts (say about 170-180W) ? ?
Except Acebeam X65, it seems that we have to choose either flood or throw, and can’t have both in a flashlight.
Many thanks for the advices.
This project is done.
Maybe that could be another project, It would be nice if it can be just an interchangeable head with the GT so we save on the body…
My apology for Steel_1024
I was thinking about that, a nicely driven 6x emitter head would be awesome on this light. One center emitter with a larger reflector, and 5 emitters around it with shallow reflectors.
Thing about the carriers and body, makes it very versatile, should have the voltage and amps to supply to nearly anything.
I still think a shorty tube would be an awesome addition to this light too, even though many claim the balance will be off
Don’t need to mention it.
We all hope GT is great.
This reminds me of Astrolux MF03 prototype under construction. 7 x xhp70.2 in shallow reflectors for flood, plus a xhp35 in center with a bigger reflector. It’s a big light like the X65 as well. Astrolux MF03 - new pictures + video
Here is a thread people can discuss future projects on BLF. Talk about future projects and donation topic
Dear sir/madam,
I would be like to be added to the list to purchase a “giggles”. In advance thank you.
I need european shipping (norway).

Yes. I would love an interchangeable flooder head for GT.
If I am late, please check the chimney!!
This was discussed at the beginning of the project.
Currently the important thing is to ship out the lights and get started producing the other 1000 lights for everyone else who wasn’t on the first list.
A multi-LED head or reflector may come in the future, just not any time soon.
:+1:Coyotehawk will add you to the list on his next update. It will be early January when you will get an e-mail giving you all the details of where to go and how to pay. There are currently 2 shipping options, DHL Express in one box or registered mail in 2 boxes. You can also choose your declared value as well.
Welcome to BLF.
