When I preordered my NW back in May the expected ship date was “Early June”. Banggood now lists it as July 16. At least some of the Cool Whites appear to have shipped, but apparently none of the Neutral Whites (their gestation period must be longer). Not complaining, just observing, and coming to dumb conclusions.
The email I got listed July 30 as the expected restock date. I went ahead and cancelled as the excitement has worn off and they had put this in a flash sale just last week for less than the pre-order price. Given the progress of LED technology, I figure something else with comparable performance and price will be around when I get the bug for a big thrower again.
My BLF GT is already XHP70.2, with a TA FET driver, it rocks! For me personally I think the domed hot spot is pretty good by itself, I’m not planning on dedoming it anytime soon…
