I think we got a great price on this big light, I was expecting higher price once I saw the size and quality of the light. And 157 $ with shipping is a barging I think. Sadly the communication made some people complain ( me too) about the group buy. Still in the end I think we all will thank the team, Lumintop and Neal for the great effort.
These boots that Jason (I think it was Jason) linked to in Part 1 worked perfect in my GT - diameter and height-wise. No trimming of the boot flange was necessary. With a pair of nubber pliers, (you could probably use toe trimmers) I clipped about .100 to .120” off the center nub. Without that clip, the boot nub pushes the switch ON when the ring nut is tightened. I like it now better than the original for two reasons. There is no longer any “free play” before the switch plunger is actually moved after you begin to push the boot. Switch “click” is almost immediate and has a much cleaner ON & OFF tactile feel. I love the entire boot being lite up green. Much easier to see.
When putting the ring nut over the boot O.D., it’s a bit tight. A bit of Honda Spray Polish made it much easier.
I got one GT with the solid Black boot. I submitted a survey form because Neil said he was going to ship a new boot and didn’t. I no longer need it so my survey form can be ignored if it’s practical to do so. No big deal either way.
Neal, when Lumintop makes a decision about people who did not received their package? My two registered package seems to be lost also other user have same problem.
I filled the survey.
My GT arrived today. :partying_face: Well packed, no extra charges. I’ve seen photos and videos. I’m following BLF … Still, I was not ready for such a monster … Thanks to the whole BLF team, Neal and Lumintop …
I see more packing material which is a good thing, but I don’t see any plastic to waterproof it. Maybe the registered mail boxes that got wet previously were just a fluke?
Ok, nothing official yet, still got some issues to work out and some other details but just gonna give a little heads up. It is looking like we are getting close to an arrangement for the next batch of lights.
It will be done quite a bit differently then last time (aka, much better) and should hopefully be done soon. It should also make both us and lumintop happy and work in everyone’s favor.
I will post more details when I know them but just wanted ya’ll to know that we are making good progress.
It seems I have finally broken through the great wall of china lol.
Yes, that is still the plan. They are working there way through it. Although naturally we can’t wait until orders are delivered and such. Just till the orders have been shipped and things like that. They are supposed to get in the parts for the GT’s in the next few days, so the un-shipped orders should start shipping soon.
Refunds are one issue we are trying to figure out how to deal with. Since it is past 90 days Neal can’t use the refund action on the payments and his account is still not allowed to transfer money, only receive it and refund payments. So we are not sure how to handle that until his account is fixed. It will happen, it just might not be before the next batch.
