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

ok , enough politics, seems we should be seing a few more dozen beamshots by now :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:
and that 1.2 mill lux reading, that i know this light is going to do :wink:

@TheMiller,

I have been listed for the 2nd light in the GT core list, whereas I wanted only one light and I am not the list where people are requesting their 1st GT lights,
Please put me on the list requesting for 1st GT lights.
I badly want this light but I am way over 555.finger crossed

Here are my listing details on the core GT list for 2nd light.

660 praveendk 2nd #687

Please edit accordingly
Thanks in advance.
Cheers !!!

I actually have high hopes for an XHP70.2 version of this light. If I can find a good XHP70.2 for a reasonable price I might toss one in the proto to see what it does.

Anyone know where some good XHP70.2’s are now days for cheap, I have not been paying attention. Ideally looking for a ~4000-5000k 80CRI but 70CRI would work as well.

Should be good for around 5000+ lumens and a fair amount of throw if I had to guess.

I was thinking the same thing, but using an XHP-50.2 dedomed or maybe a dedomed or shaved xhp70.2 would do great even.

I am pondering which of my current lights are going to get retired by this monster the K70 or the K60…

I was thinking about the xhp50.2 as well but figured that if you want max throw then you might as well stick with the xhp35. I am guessing that the xhp70.2 would still get around 1000m of throw, more then enough for most situations and over 2x the lumens of the xhp35.

Is the GT will be shipped with DHL only? If I understand correctly?
For EU the DHL push through Vat and tax procedure every item so I need to pay extra 50$ for these surely. But with regular free shipping methods flashlights offten slip through taxes.

Your on it praveendk…. #239 on THIS LIST .

You can relax……. :smiley:

It is a bit confusing
In the OP is the core list and Mr.Scott orders it correctly (thanks so much for that!)
Next time I update the core list I walk/read through the posts and add and correct accordingly

Good point about taxes, this needs talking to LT about, DHL is then not the best solution for a lot of buyers, thanks for the heads up!

DHL would almost certainly make the package be seized by customs, causing an extra €40 bill. What works best is normal mail with <$20 declaration on the outside.

I am older than you for sure,so don’t be sad. :slight_smile:

Yeah, I’m right in there with you all too. We just have to try to press on best we can. :slight_smile:

That’s great “teacher”
Thanks a lot
Waiting for the group buy to go live.
Good luck guys !!!

Your welcome praveendk……. :beer:

Thanks for the explanation The Miller and it really makes sense, appreciate what you and others have done for us. :slight_smile:

Can you put me down for one please?

DHL is fine for me as long as it is marked below $100 so it can be tax free.

DHL is good for me
Uruguayan residents can use a franchise, 3 packages of up to 200UD (including shipping fees) per year tax free via express courier
This year I still have 2 options available, of these, 1 was reserved for the GT

If there is no other option other than DHL, then it’s a no go for me as taxes will make it as if I’m buying a TN42.

Did my post get deleted? Huh that’s wierd…can I be put on the list for a light please. Thanks

because the NDM can’t send over 2kg.
the BLF GT with package will be about 2.5-3kg. so we have to send the mail like DHL.
we will declare low so for Europe members may need to pay customs.

we also think about divide into two part,
but it will increase the shipping fees, and will will add the risk of damage or missing part in shipping.
