And yes, the beam is on the warm yellow side. :) :)

Who was it? :) :)

+2 Super cool!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Neal seems to monitor the parcels in the background. A member of the German TLF wrote that Neal had informed him by mail that his parcel got stuck in German customs since nearly 1 week, which he had not known before.
IMHO a very professional good practice !

Maybe it was a GT that triggered the Hawaii missile alert? :smiling_imp:

It was actually Texas_Ace. Here is his qoute.

The first 1049 people on the sign up list resulted in 850 actual orders (a lot of early sign up’s forgot all about this light). Now there are 650 lights left and 712 people to account for them. A certain percentage (smaller than the first group) will probably decide not to purchase. So there is a good probability that everyone that is on the list will get one for the group buy price. If not, well there is usually a sale on the retail versions.

we are many who are not in a hurry.

Quality +1000
Speed –1

+1 :+1:

Yup yup :+1:

How I wish they would hurry up !!!

with the next season of Game of Thrones

So with #1507 on the final list i will make a good chance to buy a GT @groupbuy price.

Only have to wait… 5, 6, 7 or perhabs 8 weeks before i get an email with instructions how to pay.

Ok, i’ll wait

Are there already shipped GT’s with registered shipping option for Europe?

I see that some folks in Europe recieved the GT by DHL.

+1

I’m willing to wait for my GT for good quality instead of fast shipping! That being said, I want my GT’s with V3 reflectors! LOL :smiley:

I think -2 is cooler!

Many!! I will follow through with purchase -

Hi guys, a question (this was probably discussed 10K posts earlier) can firmware from GT be ported to ordinary Astrolux A6 driver? I know, there are many differences in the hardware but still, maybe!

Sounds like something that would happen in Australia not the UK lol, Australian customs is a nightmare!

I’m in England. Never had a problem ordering lights, cameras, computers, or anything else using li-ion batteries, from ANYWHERE in the world (including lots from gearbest over the last year or so) or sending electronics back home when I’ve been away, so I was a bit surprised to hear this as a reason.
From the tracking information it never actually left HK, so it doesn’t appear to have been a UK customs issue.

Strangely enough, the text, and tracking info came from FedEx. The only other thing I have ordered from outside the UK recently is a shirt (not from HK), and to the best of my knowledge, that didn’t include batteries of any kind, let alone li-ion ;).

Not fussed about receiving it by a particular timescale-I think the team has done us proud so far-just want to make sure it doesn’t go back…and stay there!

If it came from FedEx it probably won’t be the GT. the team said it was DHL or registered mail. I can’t see why you’d get it via FedEx and no one else in the UK would have spoken up about delivery

Too bad one got returned for missing LiIon notification.
Mine came with DHL and had two big stickers declaring LiIon batteries inside and some text about confirming to packaging and shipping regulations for DHL.

But then DHL might very well have their own internal system for labeling and shipping LiIon batteries that is independent of the mail system. E.g. by shipping them only on aircraft that do not have passengers.
