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

I got the receipt from paypal. I was just wondering because on the payment page it’s specifically written

Let’s see what happens /crosses fingers. And Happy New Year folks.

No… that information is unknown at this time.
It will be posted by TA or JasonWW when it becomes available.

Really glad I logged in to see that, holly smokes that would absolutely have ruined my day, and I’m certain I wouldn’t have expected that at all so I would have been in a mess.
I’ve smoked some other reflectors and thought that was bad, this would be a nightmare scenario,
Maybe someone in the loop should send that pic to Neal and a heads up, nothing they can do about the ones already assembled but I’m darn happy to know to watch for this, thank you KawiBoy1428, wow,

Just a suggestion to save you folks fielding the unending identical questions repeated over and over… Maybe a FAQ that can be linked to for Giggles? Just handle questions that the FAQ doesn’t address and add them to the FAQ as required.

Please add me to the list.

I have used the hose attachment on the Vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out through the emitter hole before.

I’ll update the list in the morning. Should be a pretty big update.

Let’s hope that the European GT’s ship this week and Lumintop doesn’t wait for the second round of $150 GT’s to combine the shipment.

Please put me on the list for one BLF GT.
Thanks a lot for the great work :+1:

Hi,

The BLF GT looks out of this world. Could you start the process of putting me on the list for One please? I will register for the Battery deal too. UK Based. Will wait to hear from you. Many Thanks.

+1

Maybe not a bad idea.
Even though JasonWW is posting his update post on every page, it seems some are somehow still missing it.

And I’ll just state the obvious….
It is a crying shame that the OP (#1) can still not be updated.
That in itself would help tremendously.

A Happy New Year to all!!! . :+1: . :beer: . :partying_face: … :wink:

:slight_smile:

not for just European i hope :slight_smile: . please no more country based shipping.

but TA says

no doubt that 1000 meters beam shoot make me :open_mouth:

Coyotehawk will add your names to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock. :beer:

Welcome to BLF.

I don’t understand why “team giggles” doesn’t open a new GT thread for this.

Agree. Is there a way to ‘sticky’ a shipping update thread so that it always at the top? It certainly would leave things looking much less convoluted.

Hmmmm…… That is actually a great idea Jerommel!!

Maybe upon reading your suggestion, if there is not a reason to not do it; they will.

Just put a link to the new “Team Giggles” GT thread in the last post of the old thread & have sb close it.

Genious idea my friend…… :+1: …. :beer:

:slight_smile:

If they start a new thread there is. As it stands right now the miller is the only one who can update the OP (#1)…an he is not around to do it. :person_facepalming:

Well the crash test GT is making 1.99amps on High and 2.50amps on Turbo at the emitter! :+1:

Smoothed up and flattened the shelf a bit.

Re-flow De-domed E4-1A and run in (burn in) done. No smoke No Poof! :smiley: :+1:

Going to touch up a few more thing’s before assembly. :wink:

The Miller set up this group buy so that all posts come through here. He did not want additional threads. Maybe he felt people would get confused by mutiple threads? IDK. It’s just unfortunate that he took ill and had to miss out on the big release of the GT. Up until then, things where going pretty smooth as he was handling things, greeting new members, updating the list and updating post #1. I think things still went pretty smooth in his absence. Yeah, we had a lot of repeat questions, but we had the same situation in the Q8 GB were post #1 was always updated. Folks still asked the same old questions. You just can’t avoid that. Lol.

Several folks in the Q8 group buy, myself included, asked for new threads just for people to say “mine is ordered” or a thread just to say “I got mine, look at it”, etc… (those types of posts take up huge space) but he did not want that.

It’s his group buy so we are somewhat limited without him. Luckily, we are almost done with the GT. Another month or two and this thread will start to dwindle.

There have been a lot a great ideas to make future group buys better, though. Maybe they can be used on the FW3A as it has not gotten into full swing, yet. There are a lot of interesting flashlight ideas floating around so I’m sure there will be future BLF designed flashlights with group buys. We learn a little more with each one on how to make things go smoother.
