Hi vinh,
Why is the D1Svn entirely gone from your website and the BLF GT Mini Oslon spec missing?
Every day day I go and stare at these and their beamshots and dream of owning one thrower so tiny and yet 300k CD+... and today as customary I go on SkyLumen once again and now they’re missing... please don’t tell me they are no longer being produced? That is depressing. Unless something special is coming to replace that form factor? Some explanation please?

Definitely a step in the right direction!
WOW vinh, looks amazing, 31k or 26k is pretty close to the eye. But almost twice the kcd is not!

I have to tell you guys how well my EC60vn is serving me. I'm on an extended solo backpacking trip through the rugged White Mountains in New Hampshire. The environment is dense forest. In deciding which flashlight to take, I took into consideration the weight, bulk, battery life, lumens, lux & even tint. (I also have a headlamp).
I chose the EC60vn XHP35 HI 5,000K as the best combination of all those attributes. I'm happy to say, I made the right choice.
At just under 8 oz, incl battery & only 1.6" diameter, its not too big or heavy. 1800 lumens gives plenty of light in a dark night, without draining down the battery. The 103k lux has plenty of throw, and more throw would be wasted as the density of trees would block a farther reaching light.
The hot spot is very large, thanks to not too big of a reflector and the spill is perfect. The neutral tint makes the forest look natural. The 26650 size battery has plenty of juice. I do carry one spare.
My alkaline headlamp is my primary light, while the EC60vn is for things that go bump in the night. Therefore, I can do a week between recharging batteries.
Here's a pic of my camp setup illuminated by the EC60vn.

Wow that's some serious camping Madd.
You caught some pretty nice weather recently in NH. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!
Awesome stuff Mike, thanks for sharing :cool:

I'm not alone, there are lions and tigers and bears. Just kidding, only a few of those. You need to be warry of the raccoons that will eat your food. And the only thing that scares me is the ticks! Lyme disease is no joke.
I always enjoy woods adventure photos. If you got more please feel free to share.

Hey Vinh, can you mod this? It would look like a spacecraft lighting up the night sky!
Awesome camping picture! It's been a long time since I've gone due to various physical issues, but I'm on the mend and hoping to go again sometime in the not too distant future. Might have to be tame though because we have a baby on the way! But yeah, ticks are the worst.
Glad on the mend blah and a HUGE :party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party::party: on the baby:twothumbs
