Wow, that was a long wait. I forgot about this guy until I saw a post on Facebook. I just placed my order for a 7A.
I’ve never ordered from Neal. How long does the shipping usually take?
I haven’t been around much (I get lost and confused by these mammoth threads on BLF) and I’d almost forgotten about this light. I almost just ignored the emails, but I’m happy I didn’t because this is an exciting light. Anyway I just ordered mine, thanks so much to those BLFers who have spent about two years working on this, and to Neal for everything he’s done.
I agree, it’s warmer than I like, but given the choices offered, I’ll take too warm for my liking over too cold any time, so 7A was an easy choice for me.
So does this mean that 1544 units were produced and anyone after that number won’t be able to participate in the group buy? Or will there be a round #2 soon to follow?
Problem is, TK said that the actual delay is 90 seconds plus approximately 5 seconds of message processing time. With hundreds of messages (well over 1000), clock skew is likely to be significant. TK's made later posts with something like "now at #nnn at time TTT", and using those will be slightly more accurate.
No… it does not mean that. The Group Buy List is still open at this point according to TK.
I imagine, by what she posted yesterday; it will close sometime today.
1544 was the number of people at time of that PM List posting. Many of those 1544 bought multiple lights.
