A BLFer contacted me and he is in contact with a Chinese company able to make any size reflector without minimum order quantity
He wants to order a sample of what would be a GT reflector and pm me with results to post (I think he got a little scared of by the little over the top discussion the last pages so for bow he does prefer me communicate about it.)

In others words, if a BLFer can do it so a manufacturer

Meaning we could just set the size and shape of a reflector and have some results of it pretty fast and can adjust design based on what we come up with as reflector, this is great news and requires me to edit topic title and OP but I cannot do that till much later today so hopefully you guys pick up on this post

That’s awesome.

…and, can they do a reflector for a recoil too maybe…??

Asking may be pushing it though that’s just an outsider guess.

I thought it was a reflector manufacturer, so they manufacture reflectors, apparently any size you wish and small numbers too.

Haven’t recoil throwers always had problems with heat dissipation that’s held them from the top spots? I recall hearing that argument a few times and all the recoil designs I see are under-driven for that reason as far as I know.

But now we have heat pipes.

Maybe the XHP35 falls into a possible exception since it will be under 3A? Seems doubtful though.

I think it’ll work just fine.
Here’s a topic on it:

BLF recoil über-thrower

Hi all, I have this idea: [image] (updated re-upload) Some of it has been discussed here: [PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping. - #362 by Jerommel (and on) but i don’t want to hijack that topic any further, so here’s the dedicated topic. I made some drawings to illustrate things: [image] compared to a normal reflector: [image] A recoil seems (to me) be better in many ways. The light straight from the LED (0°) only hits a small area, …

The problem is finding a good reflector, but this gave me hope.
Maybe for a DIY kit?
