DHL isn’t the United States Post Office, snow has stayed this courier from the swift completion of his appointed rounds. We’ll see when they attempt a redelivery.
GT Package No. 455 received.
For my surprise and even fun I got my BLF GT two days ago. Just thought that it will take some more time to happen,
cause I didn’t get respectively had any information about the shipment at all.
Anyway, - “the new sheriff in town” arrived, packaged well protected, in perfect looking condition, shows up awesome overall build quality and, as far I can say after little short testing, seems to work very well. It has a real impressive brightness, that lights up an even more impressive range of distance. :smiling_imp:
In short version -, an absolute really fantastic, damned f#*\king great bunch of a lovely crazy hell of a flashlight.
Will have a lot of fun with it.
Biggest compliments and thousand thanks to all the members of the hard working crew :student: , that helped during the long and complicated process, to transform the great GT idea into GT reality. :+1:
At least want to say, that it would be really nice and desirable, if our dear old fellow “The Miller” will hopefully be back soon. :exclamation:
my GT arrived several weeks ago, all seemed well, first impression was ” that is HUGE”! second impression was, “hmm really big but what the heck will i use it for?” Well last night after several weeks of sub zero weather followed by several days of really warm (50-60 degrees) weather. I live on a cove adjoining a river and suddenly the water level began to rise covering half the front lawn, this was followed by radio and television reports of a huge ice jam breaking loose and making its was down river (towards me!). reports of flooding and evacuations from low lying properties and damages to one of the bridges. well, we anxiously watched the level of the rising water and it stopped very close to a flooding point for my cellar. as evening arrived and still no word on the advancing ice floes I was feeling a little helpless until, you guesed it, I notice the GT sitting there fully loaded and charged. I set up up strap for the eye bolt i had ordered and went out to the porch, Holy , it threw a very tight spotlight beam out to the river 300+ meters off clearly showing details of the river, no change in the ice, WOW! for what it is designed for it does a wonderful job plus I can now justify to the wife!
I was #3 on the paid list, and ordered with batteries.
The light arrived (I think) the week of January 2nd. I was out of town, and don’t know the exact date, but it was waiting for me when I returned to Ohio on Jan. 11th.
Note: I have the dreaded “dark button”, and the light is making a creaking / tinking noise as it heats up.
I suspect thermal expansion. If after a few weeks it still “tinks”, I might open it up and re-seat / lube / thermal compound everything.
In any case, I’m waiting at least a few weeks to bug anyone about either issue.
I am sorry to read DHL Netherlands will ad €50 for the GT. I now regret I changed from registered to DHL, but I had no hope Lumintop would send registered GT's soon, and Neal told me the European GT's would ship on the 6th. Well, they did, but not to my house.
