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

I’ve told you yesterday that you will be happy :smiley:

I don#t think the google doc was meant to adjust everybodys invoice individually but to find a compromise on what to put on everybodys invoice, maybe separated by continents.

Great news Chris :slight_smile:
Hopefully LT will get some registered shipments out before the Chinese New Year shuts everything down.

well! guess who was stupid enough to put BOTH carriers in backwards. damn lucky i hadn’t intended to fire her up only because someone recommended evaporating excess thermal grease and i haven’t got the vises to open it up yet… else BLF would have lost one member… at least i’d have gone happily if only for a few seconds lol

The wife hasn’t collected it from the neighbor yet so I can only guess that the TNT delivery today was the GT. I’ve not ordered anything else so it is highly likely. I’ll confirm in ~4hours but i’m 99% certain it is.

It’s not even making it out of HK-both times!

Has anyone from the UK who ordered WITH batteries received theirs yet?

When is this point of no return please?I have payed at 12/02/2017.

Certainly a different centering ring, his touches the corners of the LED while mine doesn’t….

How can I open up the head to try adjust it? The hotspot is visibly not round which is pretty annoying in use.

Received my GT today , many thanks Team Giggles :+1:

First one landed today in Slovenia Europe, andddddd i didn’t have to pay any taxes :crown:
Yeeeehawwwww

Tell me that’s registered……… and congrats!

Nope, that’s DHL :slight_smile:

:cry:

Is it too late to change to DHL/FEDEX/TNT for a UK order?

Cheers

send neal a msg. If it has not shipped before he reads it, it should be possible

any info about off-center led, i’m really sad if they both reduce quality and speed

Congrats! Good news. $25 is under the €22 Why on earth puts Lumintop $30 on my packet? Neal wrote me before shipping it's $25 With 30 invoice you have no change to slip through customs.

Almost all of the prototype lights suffered a piece of the centering ring being scraped off and landing on the LED and caused it to burn.

It looks like to fix this they decided to center the reflector to the mcpcb instead of the LED itself. Which is a good idea and something we considered when this started.

This works fine in the vast majority of cases but in some the LED will reflow slightly off-center and cause an issue like you saw. The good news is that yours is about as bad as it can get and sometimes reassembling the light can fix it like it did in your case. It also should not be enough to make any noticeable difference in the throw of the light.

Seeing as the LED burning would kill the light, I would say this is a worthwhile tradeoff to make sure that doesn’t happen and completely kill the light.

I have replied to his PM. It is being handled.

Not to worry, nothing to do with the light itself.

Also, there would be no need to file a paypal dispute, you can simply request a refund at any time before it ships and we will be happy to send a full refund.

It is not an issue. It is by design. The carriers must be pressed against the driver in order to complete the connection, so there is some extra thread depth to make sure that can always happen.

So not to worry, your light is perfectly fine.
