lol I actually did measure twice and see that the line i scribed was in the wrong place, then scribed a new line, then forgot I had made a new one and punched on the old one :C
hahaha
Paid for 2 BLF GT , only one came with batteries.
Been Chasing Neal for the past 2 months for the 2nd Set . He promise to ship it week after week.
No tracking code was ever provided.
And now he doesn’t even replies.
Now that is something I can relate to. I am really good at measuring and marking things, realizing I marked the wrong thing, remeasure and remark and then cut or drill exactly the wrong one. It makes me feel better that someone with your expertise Enderman can screw something up as well. I am way too ham handed to do any modifications to the GT. I haven’t even attempted to remove the mcpcb for RMM to do an emitter swap yet. Slowly building up confidence to do it, and at the same time trying to get used to the 4000k stock emitter. If it was 5000k like the q8 i would stay factory, the 4000k is a little too warm for me.
I wonder how many lights have been paid long time ago and haven’t been shipped yet,is there any way to make a list of them? Seems like some people are talking about all the 850 lights shipped and ONLY “some issues that need to be taken care in the next weeks ” - are these issues important enough to be taken care before expecting other people to pay in the next round?
Still curious to know the number of the “issues”
Has there been a post that indicates where the shipping queue is at? Who is up next to receive/ pay/ have shipped. What numbers are up next?

1149 is the highest number from the second round.
Trust me I have considered it but they have the light and honestly it would work in their benefit to ditch the last of the GB sales and go direct to public sales.
So I have to walk a line or they will do just that.
This GB has been just as much of a hassle and nightmare for them as for us.
Although really the issues mostly lie with Neal I am sad to say. He needs to get in contact and stay in contact right away.
Heck we can’t even get the Teams donation funds since they are apparently locked up in Neals account.
No, it is still the weekend. I don’t expect a reply until overnight tonight at the earliest.
I will be sending out new emails to both Neal and lumintop in the morning, I should hear back from lumintop fairly quick but they are limited in what they could do in the past since Neal was handling the money and other such things.
It is possible Neals account being frozen is part of why they started selling outside the GB, it only started in mass after his account was frozen from what I understand
Very nice! Who did the mod? What driver are you using?
V54 GT, TA
Texas, do you not have the direct with the person in charge on lumintop?
The issue with reflectors was lumintop that told directly for you or neal told?
This story is becoming more and more confusing.
I do not have a clear understanding of the situation.
- How does the blocking of the Neal’s PayPal account affect the delivery of our flashlights?
- Has money been previously transferred to the manufacturer?
- Have we reached an agreement with the manufacturer that previously paid lanterns are sent under the same conditions? I mean - no extra charge.
- If Neal is very busy, can the manufacturer provide lists of the last 50 parcels?
- Is it possible to communicate with Neal through Whatsapp? Someone from the team of GT.
- How can we help solve the situation, the last of 50? What we can do?
The reflectors delays are real, I have heard this from both Neal and lumintop. Trust me, they gained nothing by delaying the shipment of lights, they wanted to have them all shipped last year and be open to public sales months ago. Why people would suggest otherwise is beyond me.
Dealing with Chinese requires you to know their business habits and what’s done different over there. Also speaking Chinese is a must if details should not be lost in translation.
That person is Neal. Without him there would be no Group buy with Lumintop
He also received the money and probably is paying Lumintop per batch/shipment. He is also supplying the shipping addresses per batch and keeps track of what has been shipped.
At least that is how I understand it.
1: It doesn’t effect past orders. Just future orders and the ability for lumintop to have access to the funds from prior orders.
2: I am not privy to the details of the payment arrangement. Although I assume that lumintop has been paid in batches for prior orders.
3: This was settled months ago, lumintop would eat the extra shipping costs but would use cheaper / slower shipping methods to some areas. People could pay an extra fee to use a faster/better service if they chose.
4: I have not gotten any replies since the last shipment, last I heard I would have the tracking numbers last week. It will not be posted publicly, that much I can tell you.
5 This has been attempted as well.
6: I am pretty sure there is nothing to solve with the last 50 orders, they should all be shipped and on the way as of last week. We simply don’t have the tracking numbers for them. We do have a list of outstanding issues that needs to be addressed ASAP though.
Correct on all counts as far as I know.
Neal has been good up until CNY. While he was not exactly fast to communicate before then I could at least count on a response within a few days.
Ever since CNY I have only received 2 or 3 messages total.
It’s not about the last 50,there are other issues that haven’t been taken care in weeks ,no answer at all - seams like Neal is the only chinese capable to speak english ,but in fact,as he never answered me to my orders , i believe that LT would need to step up and fix the issues,as they surely got my money - if Neal is too busy to handle this issues,it would be nice to admit it and the Giggle Team look for other option ,Lumintop has so good comunicating persons that are selling the GT through other channels,is there anything that it stops the GiggleTeam to deal directly with LT?
For the last days Neal has apparently been sending the tracking numbers to those people himself!
This will be looked into if Neal doesn’t reappear this week.
Up to now it was easier and simpler for all involved to go through Neal but recent happening are changing that.
