It sure would be great if we could get some sort of rough update on what the shipping schedule is looking like. They must have some idea what their plan is for sending lights out.
With respect to the business of the project, the holidays, the wedding and honeymoon I wouldn’t think it would take more than 10 minutes to update the board. Understanding that dates slip as issues develop.
My GT arrived 15 minutes ago! It’s bigger than I expected! :partying_face:
Use a short-bladed knife (or none) if you want to avoid cutting into the interior BLF GT box. It is a tight fit inside the outer carton. I got lucky.
Here are a few photos to get everyone excited again:
Some quick comments:
The packaging is nice. The lens had a protective plastic film on it. My reflector is flawless and clean. The threads are super smooth. The lanyard attachment was already installed in the tripod hole. :partying_face:
FWIW, I signed up for email notification with DHL. At 09:15 I got an email that said “delivered, signed for.” I opened the front door and the box was on the porch. I never heard the doorbell or even the DHL truck.
“Congratulations!” and “Thank You!” to GT-Team, Lumintop, and Neal! :+1:
Great news the US DHL GT’s are on it’s way and close for some. Just heard from Neal the European GT’s with registered shipping will be send out in January, with and without batteries. No clue about the DHL shipments for Europe.
I got one of these Pelican 1610 coming today from amazon to protect it. They had a special for 139.99 a couple days ago, so I’m sure they go a lot less than this. This is prob a little overkill, but I’ve waited over a year for this light and like to take care of my lights. I hope to get a second GT when that time comes, so there’ll be room for that.
Yep I keep some of my most favorite lights in Pelicans because they are that good. I’ve tested them on the river, underwater, and with a cell phone in them too. No leaks. But I have two of the original Defts, one with the original OMG lumens pelican. In another Pelican case I keep a Firefox III and Firefox IV HID, and in another I keep a couple of my most favorite lights, the Neosekian Legion IIs modded with WW xm-l2 emitters. The Pelican 1610 could prob fit all of those other cases, and it’s got wheels and a pull handle, lol. It’ll be interesting if it’s as big in person as I am expecting. I know it won’t be the tallest but it may be the heaviest of my lights. We’ll see soon!
