What to do. I didnt order the second BLF GT since I wanted to read about all the giggle about this flashlight before ordering the second one. But seams I have to buy the second one without input from all of you. When is the deadline to order the second batch ?.
Tried to read about deadline for second batch but couldnt fint it.
Still I like this flashlight alot…hope it delivers.
I’ve looked at this one when it was mentioned but discarded it on the base there does no seem to be much padding anywhere, even on the back… It looks really cheap. Can you give us some feedback?
Yes it is cheap, although I prefer “budget”
Yes no padding but I already have a lens cover for the GT & I will be adding some foam I have laying around to pad the bag.
Yes… “budget” sounds much, much better!!
Not much padding at all… but what can one expect for $5.
It will do a good job ‘keeping the world off’ of the GT however I think….
Like Ian said… pretty easy to add some padding.
In fact I am considering taking an appropriate length of 6” PVC, capping one end, and inserting it into the pack to offer some rigid protection. And in addition gluing a layer of neoprene inside the PVC for additional protection.
I think this would work & be semi-cost effictive also…….
Any one know if you have to populate both cell carriers to use the light—If the 2 carriers are in parallel you would think it would work with only 4 cells in one carrier
I actually ordered mine 6 December from a link given in this thread and it arrived yesterday. So not to bad for holiday rush shipping season. Time fell right into the normal range for something sent by way of International Bridge (IB) by GearBest.
