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: :stuck_out_tongue: :laughing:

We should make a floor mat game with conclusions on it and then we jump on it. :smiley:

This post is made in jest. :slight_smile:

Damn, 400 pages :o

Are these 170 random GT’s or are they in order as they appear in the lists?

And 12000 posts :partying_face:

This is just a repository for older shipping news. This way it keeps post #1 smaller and easier to read.


The first shipment of lights (168 total) shipped on Dec 27. This was a pallet going to the USA from the first 576th person on the paid list that did NOT include batteries. Tracking numbers went out on Dec 27 and lights started arriving to customers on Dec 29th.


The second shipment of lights (194 total) shipped January 3rd. This was a pallet going to the USA from the first 740th person on the paid list that DID include batteries. Tracking numbers went out on Jan 3rd. Lights started arriving on January 5th.

The first 2 shipments went out by region instead of the exact order in which we paid, for cost reasons and because there were not enough DHL orders to fill a pallet for anywhere except the USA.


The third shipment of lights (138 total?) shipped on Jan 8/9th with and without batteries through DHL in Finland, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia, Germany, Canada, Malaysia and Australia. Some people got notifications, some didn’t. I have not heard of any registered mail packages shipping yet.

Only a few tracking numbers went out on Jan 9th and lights started arriving to customers on Jan 10th. Apparantly Lumintop was very slow to give Neal the tracking info or info on which lights they sent.


4 shipments have been made. A little over 600 lights in total. So there are a little over 200 more lights to ship from the current group of paid customers. This is a mix of early and late purchases. Mostly people who requested registered mail shipping.

A 4th shipment of about 125 lights went out on Jan 19th. This is a mix of USA and international orders. Several of these lights have already been delivered to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Amsterdam, Slovenia etc… FedEx and TNT are also being used.

Well darn it, my D1S lens is cracked too. :smiley:

If I read the list right…
It may be the 170 (Registered) NON - DHL shipments that has been sent off…

This is however just speculation based on how I read the list !!??.

Merry Christmas to everybody by the way…

Talking bout attitude :person_facepalming:

Here we go, again. :frowning:

Let’s all take a breath.

There is no breath to take here, look at my question and look at his answer. He first wrote “I have no idea” , which was ok, but then edited the post to ” I have no idea. I don’t even care. It will ship when its ready”. That’s the attitude.

I have a right to ask a simple question and receive a simple answer, some people seem to be frustrated if you even question when it might be shipped. I placed a deposit 3 1/2 months ago, fully paid 3 weeks ago, and asked a simple question. That’s all.

Why acknowledge my post at all? Just wait for bozlight29 to answer. Simple. Done.

The simplest things blow up all the time here. Lets all keep calm and adult like.

Just trying to cut it off and remind everyone to be in good spirits.

That’s all I have to say, Have a great day. :+1: :wink:

Edit: Anyone can ask their questions and wait for the response they’re looking for.

Everybody wants to know the same thing. Imagine how frustrating it is for the volunteers, and I stress the word volunteers, to answer the same questions over and over. I know I couldn’t do it.

I single no one person out with the following, since many folks do it (or don’t do it)…. Just a little time spent reading would get the answer and not stress out the volunteers. Of course the folks who need to read those words won’t. :smiley:

Merry Christmas everyone!

No clue if they are working from the list who paid first. Hope so :)
