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

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 :beer:

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! :beer:

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.

RMM Richard is….

Correct, it will need to be a buck driver to really drive that LED properly and that is a fair task to fit all the needed components into a 46mm driver and handle that kind of power.

It can be done but it will be interesting to see how it is done. I know of a few possible options that could do it.

I was just informed that neither mine nor my brothers GT shipped. Which means they both are in the last group of 50 poor orphaned abandoned marooned forgotten lights… With this luck they will be delivered in April… Please help me overcome this ordeal by posting some beamshots or mods.

Go buy some very nice knives from GearBest. They come faster than GT. I depleted my fund for 2nd GT buying 15 knives so far.
I am among the last 50 too. No choice, just wait for it patiently, after CNY, things will move faster.

Thank you, but I want beamshots, not another money pit on top of those that I am already addicted to :smiley:

That’s looks great!

How the heck did they get the logo back on after they redid the coating?
