Not trying to show you up but my one beer that I was going to have earlier turned into 15. What sort of flashlight have I ordered again?

This Guy! 
:+1: 
cheers
Just sitting here twiddling my thumbs, death staring my inbox
Stuck waiting at the ER. Took a walk down the road to play with my lights (Q8 & D1S) to pass the time. Nice wide open desert field with tree line in the distance. An officer driving by and asked if I was good. Was like yup, all good sir. Just playing with my lights. He was more impressed with the throw of the Q8 while lighting up the whole field.
Couldn’t really chat with him, he had to head out on a call. I hope to see him again while I play with The GT.
Fin, end of story.
Back waiting at the ER.
People say they dont care but they keep typing and arguing
Ironic
I was looking at Google maps in my area, pre-planning areas to test the throw of the GT when it/they arrive
Very near where I was has a clear path just over a mile long to a mountain side and a water tower. I unfortunately don’t have decent camera for beam shots. I’m sure there will be plenty others anyways. These places are right in my neighborhood a brief walk away.
Plenty of open desert and mountain sides if I want to take a short drive.
Just in case anyone needs a refresher………… Refresher
The GT will be my furthest ever thrower. Considering the intensity, I can picture after toying with it a while, someone will call the law. I thought that as I was driving through town today, when I seen a cop. I thought about stopping to chat with him/her about what may come over the air waves, eventually. More to give them a heads up, that I'll be out there some evening soon. Then I just drove past where he/she was sitting

I can testify, this statement is absolutely 100% True! . :innocent:
It will be hard finding a good dark area with enough range to give it a good test, at least in this part of the country. Half the people getting a GT will be looking for the nearest water tower after seeing adventuresportflashlight's review. Its just too bad it is going to be incredibly cold here for the foreseeable future. At least humidity won't be an issue.
I've been wondering how long it will be before the law is called about a GT. The question isn't "if" it is "when". Then will the guilty party fess up to the forum. My close neighbors are used to some guy flashing lights around almost every night so they should be cool with it.
There are plenty of lights more powerful than the GT, I don’t think anyone will be getting in trouble any time soon.
As long as you don’t point it at vehicles or buildings it is 100% safe.
Oh, I'm sure someone will be foolish, shining their light at one specific area for too long of time. Someone will freak out, and phones will be ringing. If I was confronted, my answer, hey, it's a flashlight.
I would never admit it here in the forum if I were to get into unintentional trouble!!
gotta say… somebody really hates you. but you know, as much as any of us would hate to be in your position, you’re kinda drawing more unneeded attention to yourself . don’t wanna push it and get yourself banned or anything like that.

what most people seem to forget:
this carrier has the cells in series!
thats why it can be really dangerous to insert one battery the wrong way (if unprotected are used)
thats why the manufacturer does apply the need for a mechanical polarity protection!
(a electronics solution built into the carrier makes it less powerful and more expensive - none of that we want ;) )
and about the “discussion“ here:
this is the GT project thread - remember?
too many off-topic posts make it impossible to read the real information, that's why the same questions and answers are posted repeatedly - adding just more confusion.
we definately will need some changes in future projects...
One closed thread where the information is published without any discussion.
One Q&A thread (good points will be pasted to the infothread)
One chit chat thread
