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

Sure, no problem. I was hoping by now someone would do some better demonstration videos, as mine are pretty blah!

Okay, Coyotehawk will add you to the list on his next update. It will be early January when you will get a PM (personal message) and e-mail giving you all the details of where to go and how to pay.

Welcome to BLF.

i keep seeing information on an excel spreadsheet, but I cant find it. Im paid up in the first group with batteries. just wanting to make sure everything is ok on the spreadsheet.

You with the cash. Your friends, laughing at you, eventually wanting what you have.

I have been browsing this forum for some time and have the A6’s and Q8. So I guess it is time to now login and sign up for the GT.

Please add me to the list for 1 BLF GT flashlight with the set of 8 Samsung 35E batteries.

Thank you

I can always sell it off anyways. 2 kilograms will be ridiculous though, i better get my tripod neoprene carrying strap out of the drawer…

Anybody got theres and its snowing like to see some vids of in the snow . Ps i dont get snow on the coast in north Carolina.

Same here and I paid for second group

Just to be clear about the forum rules and ordering, I just need to express that I want one and ill be contacted by one of the “order-maker”, right?

Thats right.
“I want one” is all you need to say :smiley:

awesome, thanks!! wanting to push the led a bit harder :slight_smile:

You can’t really.
The batteries don’t have a high enough forward voltage and heat is already decreasing the output.
If you want more throw or more lumens you will need to swap out the LED.

Yes, Coyotehawk will add you to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime early next month when you are contacted with the details of where to go and how to order.

If you plan to buy batteries, please sign up for them in that link I have. This let’s the guys know how many sets they need to keep on hand.

Welcome to BLF.

You are listed for 1 light and one set of batteries with dhl shipping.

I try to post all the links on every page. Just look at Neal’s paid/shipping list. You are on the 1 to 555 list. Use the search function to see your name.

UPDATES: It appears that the first couple of shipments are going out by region instead of the exact order in which we paid for cost reasons. Initial quality has been fantastic.

The first shipment of lights (168 total) shipped on Dec 23. This was a pallet going to the USA from the first 550th person on the paid list that did not include batteries. Tracking numbers went out on Dec 27 and lights started arriving to customers on Dec 29th.

A second shipment of lights (size unknown) shipped Dec 27. Location unknown. No tracking numbers recieved yet.

There should be a European order going out in January.

Did you not see your name on the paid list? I see you paying in the first group. One light, no batteries, DHL.

Right. The driver is already capable of delivering 6 amps, maybe even 8A with just a resistor swap. The problem is that the xhp35-HI is already running at 2.5A on turbo so there is nothing left in it. You might get a little more output by going to a higher bin or a cooler temp. If you want more lumens, but less throw, you can go to an xhp50.2 or xhp70.2 and adjust the driver output to suit it. You need a fairly large mcpcb to put it on and it needs to be 12v, copper and DTP.

how does my modded tn42, push out close to 2600 lumens, with xhp35 hi i wonder ?

In the final preproduction sample Texas Ace measured 2,490 lumens at 2 amps and 2,630 lumens at 2.5 amps.

Why do you hate America?
