To be fair, it is no different then what we are doing now. The system is working on trust right now. Although we are looking at ways to improve things.
Hey kebal_omega, nice to know some1 in here was from Kuching!
I just got my GT last week. Its really hard to find a suitable place in town to test out the range… maybe Santubong or Damai?
Very nice shots. Test mine last night at a distance of 1.4km by lighting up a bus with huge reflectors on it. At that distance the reflectors on the bus was so clearly visible.
Can you discuss spare parts issue? My GT is unusable because of poor head packaging and concrete hit. I can not put tube in. I wrote email to leo at lumintop, but no response since one week.

Yes, the retail price of the light will be $325 after the Group buy is what they are telling me. The costs have been much higher then expected and that is the price the light will cost to be profitable for them. At this point their goal is to minimize losses with this GB, they have given up on making a profit during the GB.
I think we got a great price on this big light, I was expecting higher price once I saw the size and quality of the light. And 157 $ with shipping is a barging I think. Sadly the communication made some people complain ( me too) about the group buy. Still in the end I think we all will thank the team, Lumintop and Neal for the great effort.
