Ammofox I have no idea why you decided to defend vob’s Video as though my old post was anything negative, it wasn’t. The issue was about some customers were complaining once that they learned that cool white emitter in the prototype vob used wasn’t the same as the 4000k emitter in the actual gt. Therefore beamshots using the actual gt would be more useful. If you think the only beamshots you need are vob’s video, by all means ignore all others to your hearts content. Maybe I miss read the tone of your post, if so, disregard my last sentence.
if shipping fee is not specified, they estimate the costs. So count on €40-50 extra. I asked Lumintop (Neal) to change the invoice to $15 for GT and $10 shipping. They don’t, so we pay.
I agree, thats why I plan to wait for the 3rd batch of PM’s until the existing orders are basically done.
That’s the best option in my eyes, i can wait 
A word about shipping order.
During the first shipment of lights Neal/Lumintop started at the front of the paid list and worked their way back until they filled a pallet with USA/no battery/DHL lights. Same for the second shipment except for usa/battery/dhl. So priority was given to those early on the paid list to a certain degree. It’s not perfect, but it’s something I noticed. After that I stopped trying to figure out what list orders got shipped. It was too much work.
Since the first 555 people paid a week before everyone else, they should have been in the front half of the paid list. It’s unfortunate that registered mail shipments and “high shipping cost” countries got sent last. Still, I’m glad they started at the front of the paid list and not some random order.
Texas_Ace, SB and Scott are working on some type of fair way to send out the last batch of PM’s for these last 650 lights.
There only one option Jason, take care of the members who paid the first of December and have to wait till April, and we talk about members who believed in, and paid for this project months ago. The fact that members who choose registered mail were left aside is already very sad, but if you take your role as the blf team seriously, and I know you do, make Lumintop send the GT’s first to the members who are waiting in patience on their lights for a long time. I know you are eager to work with Lumintop in the future, but you represent the members that made you got the first 555 to start this project. My personal opinion is that it’s a shame that some of them are still waiting.
Haven’t I said I will be / have been doing exactly that several times now?
Also, no matter what someone would still be waiting, there are simply not enough reflectors to go around. Nothing can change that.
I agree with you Bozlight29
It looks like I am also one of people who have to wait some more time…
Well, nothing to do but wait 
Is there exact number how many lights are left to ship?
sorry, missed a sentence, I am glad you are taking care of those last shipments after CNY.
Keep in mind that the company making the reflectors said they can deliver all of them very quickly. This meant that all of these first 850 lights probably would have been shipped out as fast as lumintop could make them which would be within a few weeks. All lights could have been shipped out in December. So list orders and such would not even be that big a deal when they’re all shipping out fairly quickly.
Anyway, it’s a group buy, early production units, giant oversized lights, big boxes, heavy weights, The Miller left, etc… I guess it’s in peoples nature to get all emotional, but it’s just a flashlight. We should not get all worked up emotionally, especially since we are getting a great light at a great price.
BTW, I am still waiting for things I bought on Nov 11 in china at retail stores at retail prices. I try not to be bothered. I focus on other things.
Not only who chose registered mail
I chose by DHL and I was also left aside
It is shipped, when it is shipped
Giggles! Sorry, the last giggle was before receiving a wrong DHL AWB, there’s no more
Haha, yeah it’s just a flashlight, but we all wouldn’t be here if not for flashlights!
Remember, if this thread goes off the rails again, it will be locked until CNY is over, I would prefer to not have to do that….
Guys, take a look at skylumens website!
Martin posted a picture on FB, please let me be so free to tell BLF
I like the ceracote!
If Vinh puts a CFT-90 in this host—-I would think it will go past $1000
I sure hope not, I plan on sending mine for that mod at some point.
What makes you think the price would be that high? He has lights in that range sure, but mostly these are lights that are 5-600$ to begin with and require mods where multiple leds are swapped, drivers are swapped,etc. which also raises the hours he has to spend modding.
I would expect the BLF GT with the mod would be around 600$.
The GT costs 250, the CFT-90 costs around 110 dollars iirc. I guess it would require a new driver? Not sure on that. But then it would still just be a driver and a single led swap.
I just gave a general statement for that Ceracoat Host——Look at his website of past Ceracoat lights——-$$$$$
It sounds like he’s making a new driver for it
Aah okay, I misunderstood. I’ve seen those coatings before but never looked at the prices.
