[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Welcome to BLF starcity
Will update list later

Yeah looking at the glass of the TN42 idk if the GT will be on par here
I accept this for the harder driven XHP35HI and much larger reflector and the ability to double up on cells AND Narsil give the GT so much more win anyway :wink:

For all day operation one probably needs to mod it so an external power source can be used

count me in if there is still a place available.

One thousand Million CD. :open_mouth:How big is this light gonna be? :stuck_out_tongue:

:person_facepalming:
dang 1MCD indeed

Roughly 8,000 times brighter then the sun. So yeah, it would easily be classified as a WMD, I sure hope everyone has their WMD license up to date.

I think this sums it up pretty well:

Yep, I just checked; mine is still up to date. I’m good to go…. :wink:

I’m in for one if there is still room.

Same here. In for 1 of there’s still availability.

glass or reflector not as good ?

Well we don’t know about the glass lens.
Lumintop is a quality manufacturer :wink:

are there no manufacturers willing to make AR coated lenses for the GT then? Or would it be prohibitively expensive? As wonderful as this project sounds i’d hate for the lack of an AR lens to limit its true potential

Really hope this is the case. I know this is only my 2nd or 3rd post, but this thing is like damn near 2x the size/mass of the TN42, so it needs to be substantially better. I already have a K70, so something barely better than a TN42 at a much larger size, albeit cheaper price, has no major upside, other than longer run time.

So what?? You have been registered just a few weeks shy of a year. To long to say “Welcome to BLF”. Soooooo, Welcome to the World of Posting!!! :smiley:

:+1:

Oh even with a lesser lens the GT blows the TN42 away :smiley:
I have a lot of confidence in both Lumintop and Neal, for Lumintop makes outstanding lights and Neal is as excited about the GT as we are AND knows his stuff being a true flashoholic

I’m glad to hear Neal is back and hasn’t gotten sick of us yet. :smiley:

He is indeed a true flashaholic. He even has my shirt to prove it:

Heheh nice pic
Seeing a black shirt like this makes me think hiw cool it would be to make a XKCD style flowchart on flashlight advice leading to BLF specials :smiley:

And it seems Lumintop is about to make the first GT, starting with head, tube and sourcing reflector.

About the shirt.

It was a joke… until it wasn’t.

This is kind of a recurring theme for me.

Nice shirt!! :+1: . Where can I get one?

You can get it drop-shipped direct from 2015.

Hello Gents, is it too late to get in on the hand held “black sun”?
If not count me in please for 1

Thanks
