Dent is on lens ring.
Bottom part, where battery tube goes in is bent by 2mm. It is impossible to attach battery tube because of that.
It is impossible for me to use GT without replacing broken parts. It was broken, because of poor packaging by Lumintop.

Indeed, Neal has been having internet issues due to some recent changes the China government made and has been hard to get ahold of the last week or 2. Generally he can only talk for a few minutes at a time.
No word on the exact email address or anything like that. He simply said that lumintop will need to handle the rest of the issues, he is just a middleman at this point.
I am trying to get more info but like I said, it is hard.
Suddenly lumintop got in contact with me and let me know they are officially moving forward with The XHP70.2 GT after over a year of trying to talk them into it.
I am guessing the XHP70.2 GT’s that sold on ebay for $495 played a large role in the sudden interest. Thanks to whoever bought those for getting this ball moving!
They nearly lost money on the last GT group buy, they only turned a profit with the last few hundred sells and it scared them. To put peoples minds at ease, the group buy price on the light will be much less then $500, still working on the exact pricing but I am trying to get them as low as possible. It will also be much smoother then time around.
Still got details to work out before I start a thread for it but it is in the works officially now. They are saying 2 months since most of the parts are re-used from the GT. Based on the GT GB, I figure 3+ months is a good guess but would love to be proven wrong lol.
Going forward on the group buys that I run I am hoping to keep them to a start to finish timeline of ~3 months. I can’t do another year long life eating group buy. 80 hour weeks are no fun. Plus I really feel bad for all the people that had to wait months and months for the lights, it was not fair to them.
Lastly lumintop ALSO suddenly showed interest in another project I have been pitching them for almost a year now as well. It would be the biggest and most expensive BLF light so far by a fair margin but boy, would it be a light like nothing else on the market…… :innocent: :cowboy_hat_face:
I have been telling them, if they build it, they will come but it seems they needed some evidence of that.
No worries
Will be watching in anticipation,
Even if an upgrade option is put into production I would be interested,
It doesn’t have to be a full gt unit.
Thanks for the opportunity to be part of your blf family.
Hello, who can assist me with my getting my BLF GT? there was an issue with sending my original address and I have providing an alternate address, so still waiting as of this message.
