G&P 35W HID spotlight

[Tinkerbell]

I play a sport called airsoft, which is like a sister sport to paintball (airsoft is to paintball as formula one is to stock car racing, if you get the analogy) and G&P is one of the companies which makes rather nice accesories and guns for the sport. a while ago, they annouced this, and i fell in love with it. Its now finally released, and slap band around the price i was dreading. But anyway.

Is anyone remotely interested? are there better deals out there? am i crazy for wanting it becuase of the big fat 3500 lumen label on it?

help, i'm addicated to flashlights i can't afford!

<<EDIT>> just occured to me i didnt even post the link. whoops!

Looks nice and tough!!

Any idea of the size of this thing?

the little rail thingy on the bottom is 20mm wide, so.. i'd guess about a 6" diameter on the face.

I Like it, it looks like a baby SF Hellfighter tank light.:thumbsup:

Ya, airsoft is what originally got me into flashlights too. Needed a light for my m15a4.

You can get many cheaper ones than than that with the same lumen ratings, but that one does look very good externally.

Aside from the Sams club model, do tell!

I reckon that's one good looking HID.

Someone HAS to get one of these and review it !!!!!!!! oo:
If that lives up to its specs, is as small as I think it is, and is water resistant.... i WANT !!!!

Looks like a very nice piece.

Some more pictures of it here

US$400 might be a worthwhile buy... I think I paid that much for my Microfire K2000R (with some accessories).

 

[Phaserburn]

More info, specs? Group buy?

 

[jtice]

Im dieing to know more about it also.

If we can get some beamshots, find out how water tight it is, and determine if that runtime is accurate...
Then I think we are ready for a GB! hehehe

The rail on the bottom is interesting, may open the doors to some mod ideas, and attachment options.
Seems the handle screws on also, so that could be removed/replaced.

The rear of the light has me confused.
I thought at first that the 4 alen bolts held the back on,
but they arent aligned with the body, indicating that back is a cap that was screwed on.

That looks like a nice light.
If it lives up to it's specs it should be real nice.
Does anybody know what the shipping from Hong Kong will be on that light.
It weighs 2100g or roughly 4.6 lbs so the box and charger and all will probably be in the 6 to 7 pound range.

Take Care,
mtbkndad :wave:

Count me in for the group buy!!!!!!!

Wow, this light looks great! Hopefully they don´t claim too much more lumens than the light really has. I would like to know what kind of rechargeables it is using..... G&P still lists it as "coming soon".

It looks very nice. The machining looks fantastic. I'm a bit skeptical about the stated lumens at 35 watts though. Typically 35 watts with current technolgy produces about 3200-3400 lumens. I imagine that mtbkndad, Ra, or one of the other HID experts would have some ideas about this.

 

[MorpheusT1]

Hopefully someone has some first hand experience or the money to buy one for review.

Looks fantastic for the price.


Allthough i am fairly sure the new Microfire 35W HID will be too
(Only rumors for now,but it is supposed to be in production.)



Either way i cant wait for some more specs.

Nice looking light and its weapon mountable

G&P have it listed as a 4300mah 11.1v Li-Ion battery.

That rail could be useful for mounting say... two bipods on. give it a nice little stand

I wouldn't pay over $100 for any flashlight when I can have something just as bright for half the price.
