M4D M4X: For all people who want to let us know the value that should be declared on the parcels:
please take the BLF GT customs declaration survey

Samsung 35E seem ideal, high mAh and good amps.
M4D M4X is doing a groupbuy, here: GROUPBUY: 8pcs Samsung 35E BUTTON TOP for the BLF GT

I don't see the clear button, as mentioned needing replaced. It must be included?
Could be a picture from before the change…
And even its a crack in the lens? Maybe it’s there test light that has been dropped daily? I know it doesn’t look like it but we just dont know the story, we just see a picture.
Please, dont worry about those details.
BTW, where were those pictures posted?
Lumintop just posted on Instagram that first batch is ready for shipment
Thank you.
How about those who wants split shipping? How do the 2 boxes look like?

Right here. No one said it was a clear button. It is a translucent black.
Ok, I finally got a bit more info on what is causing the delays with the shipping.
It seems that there were 2 minor issues found during the QC checks that are now having to be fixed manually 1 at a time.
The first is that the rubber switch boots that should have been transparent turned out to be not-so-transparent (think when Thorfire shipped the S70 without a gray switch cover?). So they had to source replacement and are now having to install them in all 1000 lights manually.
The second was that the PCB fab house apparently flipped a 0 in the code to a 1 and caused some minor issues with the firmware. The hardware is fine, no worries. They are having to go through and reflash all 1000 drivers manually though.
Why they didn’t give us these details last week, I am not sure. My guess is they were too busy trying to work them out and with Neal at his wedding it just got delayed in reaching us.
The plus side is that they caught the issue before they were shipped out and saves everyone the hassle of having to sort these out later.
No word on when they will start shipping yet. As soon as the issues are sorted out I am sure. I am not sure if they will ship them out as they are done or if they will wait until all 1000 are ready first.
See anything familiar with GT photo? Curved edge glass reflection !!! Just from a different angle it can look as a crack! END !
Still no clue as to what the two parts packaging will look like…
Thank you Nikolas, I think we can put the broken gt glass issue to bed… with no dinner I might add.
Wat you say (that 1.8kg water equals a volume of 0.0018m3) is not 100% accurate. It depends on the amount of salt for example and the temperature of the water.
Sea water is iirc more dense that non salty water. And other liquids have a different density too.
That’s the reason the formula to calculate buoyant force uses the density of the liquid.
True, but for making use of such formally proper calculation we would need specific values for a given scenario. When we just want to find out if it’s even close to floating, it really is that easy. More liters than kilograms and it will float in lake water. Less; it will not.
Of course it’s not anything like a diving light so the light being even somewhat close to a density of just 1 (kg/dm^3) is just an interesting observation, not that much of a feature. Still interesting though; other heavy duty aluminum lights of more typical smaller size are much heavier per volume.
Still no clue as to what the two parts packaging will look like…
You were expecting an answer in 26 minutes? It might be days before we see a picture of that. Please have some patience.

It is indeed a very interesting discovery. With a little bit of shaving on some spots we could have had a flashlight that wouldn’t only be a king of throw but it would also float . That would be a real selling point!
Realistically though, that would require a lot of aluminium being removed as these numbers were all without the batteries and carriers installed…

Well. I did asked it a couple days ago but didn’t got any response it. Neal was very busy that time (I hope is now enjoying his personal time!) so he could easily missed that question.
Some would think that because we see only these boxes that the 2 box shipment consists of 2 of these boxes each with halve of the GT inside it?

Exactly…… And it may well be there is no picture of the two box shipping at all. You may see what it looks like when it arrives at your door.
As long as it gets delived safe & sound…… what difference does seeing a picture make anyway??
I have some good news! The first 170 GT’s are shipped today! The rest will be shipped continuously, so the GT’s are on its way! Merry Christmas to you all from Lumintop!

Hooray! Let them roll!!
From where did you get the information about that 170 Gt ´s were shipped out?
Merry Christmas to all members.
Has anyone received tracking information?

Hey that TN42 has a crack in the lens. :zipper_mouth_face: :person_facepalming: :laughing:
We should make a floor mat game with conclusions on it and then we jump on it.
This post is made in jest.
