Re: BLF GT94 vs HID. LED has finallly surpassed HID in my opinion.
I presume that the original post, and most posts in this topic thread after that, pertain to GT94 with (lightish-mediumish) orange peel reflector, because most all of the people who posted about receiving this light about five weeks ago reported theirs having OP reflectors.
This just in: The second sample of BLF GT94 that I ordered on October 31 just came in, it has a Smooth reflector.
I have to wait six more hours for the dawn of the new flashlight day, to see if there is any visible difference of the amount of light on a medium size target 750 meters away. My guess now is that there will be no subjective difference in beam profile/beam performance to my eyes, one reason being that my first one with OP is more like a light-medium op reflector.
However, if most all of the posts in this topic thread pertain to GT94 with light-ish OP reflector, I want to make note here, that the Smooth reflector batch has materialized, which may possibly result in different throw spec measurements.
