[PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open!

They should be shipped this week, see the message from Texas_Ace on saterday 12th of may.

Hey all … wasn’t sure if I should receive a tracking number or a rough idea when I would see my gt… I am #1133 and paid April 19th

What country are you in?

Have you asked Neal for your tracking number?

I have not asked any one… I am in Virginia usa

I know a lot of USA lights started showing up last week. Yours may still be on the way.

From May 2nd:

Here is his link.

Bedankt Michiel, Jason.
Michiel, do you also know something about tax?

I don’t know anything about the customs fees or tax for the Netherlands. Maybe someone from there who has already received their light can give us more details about whether they had to pay a tax.

Mine came with registered shipping, not DHL, and just slipped through. If they catch it, tax is 21% of the purchase price, plus whatever the shipping company adds as handling costs, in case of DHL in one case that was 18 euro.

i dont know how mine is shipped. hopefully mine also slipps through.

I’m also in the last batch so i’m still waiting.
But all would be send with dhl now so i hope the declared value will be low enough.

GT in action!

In this particular light, if you use high quality protected cells like the 10A ones from IMRbattery, then the only real downside will be cost.

Cheap protected cells can suffer other issues like high resistance but that is the cheap protection circuits.

Are Lost packages reshipping? Is Neal now im LM?

He has not responded to me in a day or 2, that is usually a sign that he is at lumintop or at least away from home. His VPN and thus internet access is seriously limited when it is not at home.

Does this look like a copy to you guys? Or is Astrolux and Lumintop related?

It is 100% a copy.

I know nothing else about it though.

I just happened across it and thought it looked very similar except for the quality :slight_smile:

Ordered may 5th no word yet on delivery or tracking …what do I do next please.

You wait a bit longer, no orders from May have shipped yet to our knowledge. Everything was delayed a bit as they ran out of batteries.

They are 2 seperate companies.

You have not been following its development on BLF these last few months? We talked about it here a long time ago.

It’s not a direct copy. It’s basically a bigger reflector version of the Astrolux MF02 or Mateminco MT35. They started working on it way back when they saw the interest grow during the GT development. It’s running a more basic UI that does 2.5A, but can not do 2A like the GT. So it doesn’t have that longer run time the GT has or the other cool UI stuff you get with NarsilM.

Chinese light makers are always copying and cloning each other. It is what it is.
