Neal:
for the BLF GT, lumintop declare all with $25
but the UK customs don’t believe it, they returned the packages,
how about declare $50 for UK members?
This is odd as a friend of mine has to pick his up from the post depot today and mine certainly wasnt returned. Maybe it was only lights with cells that have been returned?
EDIT… this might be wrong. My friend had a ROYAL MAIL note through his door. I dont know if TNT drop off to Royal Mail depots or not.

IS IT ONLY LIGHTS WITH CELLS BEING RETURNED???
I don’t have full list of UK buyers but I have compiled this from a look through the paid spreadsheets:
chrisc DHL no batteries - Delivered
Jinx/Jeansy DHL no batteries - Delivered
terry b DHL no batteries - Delivered
Dydi92 DHL with batteries - RETURNED!
Tuigali DHL with batteries - RETURNED!
bella-headlight Registered no batteries
gravelmonkey Registered no batteries
G0OSE Registered no batteries
Essexman Registered with batteries
As far as I can see, all DHL without batteries are delivered but DHL with batteries have been returned!

Too add to this, anyone that has received their lights from DHL with lights, was there any lithium Ion battery warnings on the out side of the box?

T18:
I know there are a few other threads have been started for different topics but I don’t know where or for what so I’ll just ask here,
Does anyone happen to know what the GT’s overall total weight is with cells…??
And for the funny wise guys/gals, I know heavy, but I’m thinking in lbs or kilo’s would be real helpful,
Thank You, and if there is a link to a technical thread I’d appreciate it, I think this thread is mostly shipping issues,
Weighed mine at work 5lbs exactly 8x30Q’s.

Anyone that got batteries, are the Samsung 35E meant to be 3500mah? Mine are all 2600mah batteries.

Charging my cells at the moment so I can try it out when it gets dark!
Quick question which may have already been answered and I missed it, but why do the 35E cells have a 2600mAh sticker on them when they are 3500mAh?

Those specs in bold black prints are wrong…they are 3500mah cells

Haha how funny. mina says 2600mah sticker too. My charger does not say the capacity of cells, so I’m no able to check.

Neal - Are you 100% sure this is the reason they have been returned? I have never heard of UK Customs doing this.
Around three UK members have reported in this thread that their Flashlight with Batteries was returned to Lumintop as the package was not correctly marked, due to lithium batteries being inside.

I figured that was the case. I don’t see what the reasoning was for putting the stickers on.
They are 3500mAh and are proper 35E cells, I just didn’t get the point of the stickers being there.

I think they had the wrapers laying around and wanted to decrese the amount of them.

Probably down to the maximum capacity for cells in transit.
8 x 2600 = 20800
8 x 3500 = 28000
Maximum allowance is 100watt hour = 2.6A cells = 96.2watt hour, 3.5A cells = 129.5watt hour

It’s a sticker which has been added on after the plastic wrapper has been put on for the button top. It’s not part of the clear heatshrink tube.

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks for the info, I didn’t know about that.

You never know maybe UK customs checked the cells and saw them trying to pull a fast one on the delivery. It’s very easy to know what capacity cells have and there must be many Chinese companies trying to flout these restrictions.
There are ways of shipping more cells but it depends on this shipping method used.
To ship <100w/hour packs is a lot easier than >100w/hour packs which is why most of the powerbanks dont come much bigger than 20’000mah rating.

There are some new regulations in shipping lithium batteries: http://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/shipping/shipping_advice/lithium_batteries.html
there are special stickers on my package, so that’s conform regulations.

Ahhh thanks for clearing up why the batteries have 2600mah stickers, its just for shipping conforms even though its 3500mah. Makes sense.

So they’re purposefully dodging tax and safety regulations, sweet.
