Nice, then I will wait to see the results 
I have several Luminus PT-54 leds in red color, they are super nice, 8A easy, I think up to 18A, blinding red light

No help here I’m afraid, I’m registered shipping.
Same for me, registered shipping, yep, I’m cheap.
I’m in the UK as well and a few days ago I received a notification from FedEx saying my package was due for delivery by 12/01
Since I was waiting for a few orders at the time and thought Lumintop shipped all their lights through DHL I didn’t think it could have been it, but after receiving my other parcels, never actually getting anything by Fedex and after Tuigali spoke about his issue I think I could also be in the same boat maybe idk ?
I also didn’t receive anything telling me the parcel was sent back so I don’t really know what to do now apart from waiting 
I can say that US orders are shipping DHL and 130 lights should be going out tomorrow.
Where is this info coming from?
Got a response back from Neal that I sent him a couple weeks ago to see if my shipping could be changed.
Awesome!
since the driver of BLF GT is already buck driver, why need a new driver for oslon black, it’s CC driver, the driver will auto drop the voltage according to led Vf until the current throgh led reachs limit
no, it’s CC driver, the driver will auto change the voltage to where current run through led is the one you set( for EX, 3A)
for ex, to have 3A run through xp-l2, the driver must decrease the voltage to 3.6v, but to have 3A run through 6v xhp50. the driver must decrease to about 6.4v
Okay well two people in the UK who have got FedEx details both ordered WITH cells. Maybe there is something odd about lights going to the UK with cells. Maybe not.

Ok, got a minor update last night.
Like expected another batch of lights are shipping this week, everything is still on schedule.
This batch is around 125 lights which brings the total to a bit over 600 lights shipped.
Apparently this is the last of the DHL shipments, so the next batch should be the Registered mail.
The delay in shipments from the last batch was due to having to apply for a new permit to ship lithium batteries, which delayed things a few days.
The reduction in numbers seems to be due to lumintop going back to the V2 reflector feedrate to hopefully improve the quality some. So lets not go back to complaining about speed and just wait for them to be done, ok? Mixed messages do not help things.
So, things are on track and there are no problems. You will get your light, it just is taking longer then expected. Overall though this GB has gone very smoothly, surprisingly so to be honest. I mean I will take some shipping delays over issues with the lights any day.
At the new reduced production volume it is looking like the 3rd round of PM’s might have to wait until after the Chinese new year. At this rate they will finish around early February. Giving only 2 weeks until Chinese new year. So they might get ~200-300 lights shipped before that and leave everyone else hanging for a month.
I will discus it with Lumintop and Neal as that draws closer but don’t be surprised if this is the case. Plus if we waited it is possible they could “stockpile” some reflectors to reduce the shipping delays.
The stock driver is actually capable of driving a 3V LED, it will just be limited in how much current it can provide. With the stock driver looks like around ~4A is the max.
I have some upgraded components here to test but no 3V LED’s worth testing it on. With the upgraded components it should be able to handle ~5A or maybe a bit more. The diode is the limiting factor for 3V operation. Still, that is enough for most of the thrower 3V LED’s.
I have some other projects ont he table but still plan to test out some XHP70 driver mods to raise the power some there as well. Although much above 6-7A and you might as well go FET driver. Which is something I plan to whip up at some point.
Good news about the V2 reflector TA, nice to hear they are thinking for quality over quantity.
Too bad it’s only DHL :cry:
Hi, click on the link, full in your number and post code, and there is tracking info.
I would suggest that it will say something like ‘returned to shipper’ on the 10th January. Mine was also supposed to be with me by the 12th!
I have heard back from Neal, he said he’ll speak to Lumintop about it

Awesome news, thanks for the update Texas_Ace 
INFERENCE:
A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

Suddenly hoping that my shipment was later rather than earlier, though i guess it’s more a matter of aesthetics if the throw values have been shown to be similar.
Hopefully this doesn’t result in a bunch of complaints from people that have already received their V1.5 light.
