Thanks, guys got my light yesterday N0: 994
It is perfect.
Yes, Neal is doing a good job.
He got overwhelmed and was getting a lot of abuse from people about things he had no control over so he just kind of shut down. I can’t blame him, I want to do the same thing every time I wake up to this thread having 100 posts since I know something happened that I don’t want to deal with.
Please be sure to thank him whenever you talk to him, he needs to know that people appreciate what he is doing.
I am not sure if this thread will stick around but a basic update on the situation for those that didn’t see my update in the old thread is that things are moving in a very good direction now.
Communication lanes have opened and we are set to start getting issues sorted out quickly. Just make sure you have filled out the survey 1 time if you have an open issue.
I am also trying to get a far far better option for orders for the next batch, I will not do it the same as last time.
I will give you more details once some things are finalized.
It’s really nice to see things running so smoothly now. Hopefully the remaining issues will be resolved soon - let there be Giggles all around the world! 
I tried to take some photos outside, but somehow my camera decided to focus on the background, instead of the Giga Thrower …
Still waiting for the body and batteries.

I have got two blf head but not the body…
Have you filled out the survey with the details yet?
strange of your package, I just checked
ship in Feb.7, still not delivery
it seems we should change another mail to spain
any one in Norway want to order a GT
lumintop can ship the other tube to him
and Arildb ship one head to him
Team Giggles and Neal - thank you. In between work I’ve had the opportunity to muck around with my light and it’s perfect. No blemishes, UIs seem to work as described. Additionally, I’m able to make a light spot on my neighbour’s house about 15 metres opposite of me in sunny weather. This thing is mental. Thanks again.
i just have a PM sent by neal, first since DEC
so it turned out the light hasn’t been shipped :person_facepalming: , and he asked me what value should the light be declared
so at least 2 weeks i will receive the light
anyway, i’m not mad this time, because i know what’s going on
Yes, I will go into more detail later once I understand the full scope of the situation but things are a bit of a mess with all the manual human input that was involved in the order and shipping process. Some orders were lost, some people got 2 tubes or 2 heads and in some cases the workers shipping the lights messed up altogether and some orders feel between the cracks.
Communication is flowing much better now, so make sure you filled out the survey (just once please) and hopefully things should start getting back on track soon.
GT arrived about 9PM last night, DHL must have been working overtime. It is fantastically absurd and well worth the wait. Thanks Team Giggles.
Yes. I have filled out the survey. How long will it take to send a battery tube?
Thanks.
Not sure on time frames yet, just that things are moving forward again.
I have ordinary flat contact 30Q batteries.
Question: How will the use of neodymium magnets affect
the overall resistance of the electrical circuit?
Explanation: I can calculate the resistance and get the exact result.
I do not understand the effect of this resistance on the performance of the BLF GT flashlight.
Thank you.
Magnets are not recomended for several reasons, mostly they can fall out and short something out. Much better to solder blob the cells.
If you must use them at your own risk, then they will work but indeed they will add some resistance.
The GT uses a buck driver, so the output can never be more then the 2.5A turbo mode but it can be less if the input voltage is too low.
Hello those who have the xhp 70 and the vn modification,
I just was curious how changing the leds affects the throw and beam width? Is the throw less but the beam wider? Or does the throw stay the same or is the throw even longer? I am trying to understand how the type of led affects width and throw. I have an Olight sr ut-52 with the Vinh mod that does not affect the internal charging. It is also a good throwing light.
Thanks to the team and esp to TA for his thoughtful and patient approach.
Eric
The XHP70 with dome on dropped the throw on my light from ~2100m to ~1300m.
With the dome off the throw increase to ~1600m.
The beam is much larger, around 2.5-3X the size IIRC. I find the xhp70.2 version to be more practical in the real world but boy is the stock LED pretty and fun to play with.
I am actually considering selling my XHP70.2 GT in a week or 2 once I test the new driver in it.
