The problem here is that my Paypal account is limited to only sending payments. I can not receive money on it. The only way i can get money back is via the Paypal refund option.
But as we know the first payment is not eligible for refund via the Paypal system anymore. That is the major issue here.
Because accounts from Macedonia and few other countries as well are limited. The only option paypal gives us is paying for merchandise and that is all. We don’t even have F&F option for sending money.
There are way to get unlimited accounts with fake address and stuff but i am pretty sure that it is not legal to do it that way.
I don’t have the exact numbers, we are still putting the list together, the survey was combined with other non-GT products on the back end and we are now having to split out the GT issues to be dealt with separately.
I would say around 30, maybe 40 surveys were filled out. I am not sure how many have been solved yet. Just that I know more and more are being taken care of each day. I have been helping with some of them myself when possible.

TA, thanks for the continued hard work and bringing this to fruition altogether.
Neal, glad to see you back. Hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
Regarding those getting antsy about running out of PayPal protection, and it seems like there are really just a few, what if Neal were to issue refunds then immediately (and directly) issue an invoice for the same amount to the same person/email? If they pay, they stay on the list. If they dont, they are done. This would refresh the buyer protection, keep people who paid eligible to get a light, and not generate new purchase pages that could leak out.
Just an idea, though It would be extra time for Neal and I don’t know if any PP issues would prevent it. I’m fortunate to have gotten a GT a while back, but I feel for those still waiting.
This is an idea, I plan to let things ride for another week or so until they get the lenses and can ship out some orders.
My hope is that by then we will have most of this stuff put back together and they should be able to finish up the outstanding orders then, so this would not be needed.
It’s here!!! Still no word on the batteries I ordered, but at least the GT is here! Only one problem and I don’t know if it’s a big deal or not… LED is not perfectly centered. Guess I’ll have to the batts of both my Q8’s for a test run! Pics of that to follow.
Looks centered to me even though the shadow makes it a bit difficult to compare. It was long time ago I did pixel peeping when I read reviews of cameras. :sunglasses:
I think for this case, a wall beam shot is more realistic check.
If it’s not perfectly centered, then it’s close enough by my accounts. Keep in mind the centering ring is aligned to the 2 screws on the mcpcb instead of a snug fitting center hole. I think there were a few instances where the tiny hole on the black piece actually rubbed up against the edge of the emitter and caused a little bit of black plastic shavings, so they changed the design.
Jason is correct. It’s way less off than my original pic showed it to be, if it’s “off” at all. I had the “bright” idea to take a pic with the flash… and shows that it’s as perfect as I think the tolerances for something like this could be.
