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

Please add me as well

Cool LJ! Welcome aboard!

It used to me the highest bin CREE's were cool white, and you had to drop down bins to get NW, further drop for WW. What we are seeing with the new gen CREE's is different. I see highest bins sometime in NW only, or shared with CW. Look at XPL's: V6 0D/1A/3D. With XPL.2's, XHP50.2, XP-G3's, etc., you have to drop bins for higher CRI - in fact it seems to strictly go by CRI. I even see 4000K CREE's now in a top bin, but at a low CRI.

I like doing this with zoomie lights, but… a 2W blue laser? I’d be worried about hurting someone (including myself) or accidentally burning things. That’s 400X as much power as the typical “use caution” level for lasers.

Yeah… I was joking. I do have a 2w 445nm laser, but I hardly ever use it. May have a total of 5 mins use since I built it. To be honest, it kind of scares me

Edit: thread here on it if anyone is interested

Place me on the list for one please, this is epic.

Thanks TomE iam saving pennies now lol an d that weird how cree I’d switching it up like that?

ok so my understanding is that even though i am 591, the first request is granted before others’ 2nd, 3rd, etc, so because there are 75 or so additional requests, i am really about 516?

Yep, you summed it up pretty well. :+1: … :slight_smile:

Yes that is correct and Mr.Scott send me a newer version for post 3 already, will paste it in so it is clear where we stand.
I removed myself from spot 2 on the core list and add my name again in the future so not to be the first of the people wanting a second, that didn’t feel right.
When we reach 555 first I’ll swap my name with Nr 555 first for the same reason, also kind of funny, the one asking to be on the list for a first as 555th will be the first on the sorted list :slight_smile:

Thanks, welcome to BLF!

ok thank you…… i’ve held out on some other blf specials and missed the maxtoch but really want a GT .

I would like to buy one if they are still available. Very grateful if you could place me on the list to buy one. Thank you guys for all the great work. Do you think it will throw farther than a 2D LED Maglite, LOL?

heheh, yes probably a little bit more throw then any LED baed flashlight :smiley:
Welcome to BLF!

Your welcome, glad you got on the list. :slight_smile: . I think this is gonna be a good one. :+1:

That depends. Unless you’re seriously super-human, I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to throw that Maglite far enough to hide from the BLF GT’s beam. It’s basically a handheld Eye of Sauron.

I think throwing the Maglite would be easier, it will probably weight significantly less than the GT.
I would probably only be able to throw the GT like 10-20m :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m just curious and I’m sure it’s been ask before … but how long until you think you’ll get the official sample and tell us how awesome it is?

Oh no idea
We know they started making a first host.
We don’t know if they have made a carrier
When we know more we will post ASAP

Excellent…… :slight_smile:

Sweet!!

Please add me to the list. I want to be the first owner in the Czech Republic… :slight_smile: . Thank you.
