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!
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.
See post #5 on the first page. You are slated for the 3rd round of PMs.

The 3rd round of PMs has not gone out yet, and probably won’t until the lights from the first two rounds have shipped. Last I heard the 3rd round of PMs may go out in February.
The PM will give you a link to a web page and password for the web page, not a paypal address.
That is pretty much DHL’s requirements for shipping batteries, of course they need to follow IATA as well. Any regular joe, or business can ship certain volumes of batteries and cells, over said volume needs to be an approved shipper with DHL otherwise it’ll get rejected at the gateway once the driver brings it back, idealy rejected at the pickup location when the driver inspects the shipment. For the volume they’re sending out and the fact you confirmed LiIon stickers they know what they’re doing and following the rules. Most likely was just human error and missed a declaration of some sort.
To answer your second question, according to IATA:
Edit: Now that I think about it they’re probably more likely 966 rather than 965 but I believe they’re more or less the same.
