Purple 219C, in honor of TK, for me.
Neal is offering a 25% off code if you post a photo of your light(s) in the main thread AND PM your order number. He, or whomever he wants, can then connect User Names with actual names and addresses. Not worth it to me to get an additional 5% (or 50% for that matter) especially since I have had two earlier issues with him. No thank you.
CS side of Illum /”Calvin” family has been proven to me and is worth much more than that to me. I TRUST Illum.com and his family company.
(And, Yes, I know his real name!)
Cheers!
Thank you for the endorsement. It's definitely difficult to compete against China.
Glad to see it becoming more popular as of late!
Do you mean Craig? That's my brother, depending on how you contact us determines who will respond. He handles most of the support@illumn.com emails and I'll do Reddit, BLF, etc.
Thanks for all your support everyone! If people are wondering why pre-order listings are not up yet, we've been told we can't "pre-sell" them to "allow for BLF/TLF members to pre-order them" from a.....select not-to-be-named overseas retailer. Judging by their previous track record fulfilment speed we'll still likely get them in your hands stateside faster than they would anyways.
I believe there was a fair amount of effort spent on communicating with Lumintop and actually getting the thing produced. I feel his contribution was a net positive to the project. I’ve had good experiences with his shop as well.
Without someone stepping in this is all Lumintop is able to produce. The same design over and over. So regardless of what we think about the process it’s necessary to get what we want.
Yea that’s what I’ve read too in that long thread. He contributed a significant amount of time and effort on the project. If it weren’t for “him” facilitating the communications, the FW3A would still be in perpetual development state. Lumintop is known to be extremely bad at communicating. I made many purchases on that overseas online store and never had any bad experiences. But for these new FW3A, I will still buy it from Illumn to support our local shop and excellent customer service. Shipping is also unbelievably fast.
The logo on the switch is kind of cool… not for me, but cool nonetheless.
BTW, how did you directly post a picture (as opposed to linking to an image hosting site). Maybe I’m not interpreting what I’m seeing correctly, but this seems to be what you’ve done.
