[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Could about a hundred of you guys decide to just not pay so I can get bumped into the first group? :money_mouth_face:

BrianK,yes that is what was trying to say it is a question about basic money management and for that to happen one needs info.

As said earlier I really can pay the first part now but the very tight 5-day due payment rule for the bigger payment came as a surprise,I mean there understandably has been a long wait for this light so I thought that when it finally is ready there would have been more than 5 days timeline to buy and pay for it.

I have been trying to get this kind of thrower for some time so I`m seriously wanting to buy this.I was thinking about getting TN42 but it was fairly pricey and this has a much better value.

I have allocated certain amount of monthly money for certain items I need,such as this one.And missing this due to timelines would mean that I would have to pay much more in the future to get this or similar one and that is not very good money management in my books.

Not all people have big amounts of extra cash to be kept in bank or Paypal account even if they would like to.
I would do it if I had the way to do it to buy this kind of things that I use and need practically every night.

I mean were are on The Budget Light Forum!?

It seems Lumintop needs to be able to make the GTs before production capacity is taken by other lights.
Now is LT a quality brand and they want it as good as we want it
Yes the issues are debated in depth.
The cell carriers are reworked with better springs and contacts to lower resistance, reflectors were prototypes for LT as well.
Samples for the team are coming at a moment but not to slow the path to production they will not be a round of prototypes/samples as with the Q8 but real production runs. All issues are fixed and the fixing is showed with pictures and aCADs

If people need time to add money to their PayPal, I’d say do it soon. We don’t know exactly when it is needed but there is fast progress.

man, you guys are sweating pennies on taxes, delivery charges , etc, on this light, when your getting the worlds longest throwing flashlight known to man, for a little over a 100 bucks ?
i dont get it….
this could easily be a 300 dollar light if you ask me

The Miller,so the up front $14 this month or soon but not yet the last part ready to due to be paid this month?

Yes the first $14 this month.
With 13 days to come this month it would be very fast for the rest, possibly too fast but really we don’t know.

OP updated with:

MARK

Done

If someone wants flat(er) regulation, maybe they could… use a lower mode?

You don’t HAVE to use the highest output all the time. You can have the best of both worlds, a nice FET wow mode, and regulated lower modes.

The people designing this light know what they are doing.

When reducing the output to 2 amps the regulation is much better than with 2.5 amps.

Theoretically, with the new improved battery carriers it should be improved even more.

And, the firmware that we use (forgot the name…) has many modes and options, so everyone can make it as they want it.

it’s gonna happen folks!

I also can’t wait

1. I’d like to see a review of final production version of the light before making any payments.
2. Not sure if customs officer will be happy with the $14 payment to Neal if the product comes from Lumintop.

Please put me down for a second GT.
I wrote this several times the last weeks, but nothing happens.
Please “The Miller” put my second wish on the list. I`m number 76 on the list.

Thx

1, not sure if the big payment is going to be asked before we receive samples, I am sure the $14 s way before that.
2 again, if taxes are due, taxes are due. The $14 is not or tax evasion but as down payment

Check around 715 on the core list :wink:
updated it this morning

Please drop me from this list… Life got in the way :frowning: … I’m #201

@Themiller: which list that matters? i assumed Mr.Scott’s list? because i am either #535(Mr.Scott’s) or #614

OP list is core.
Mr Scott sorts it and gives us the order for the 555 at $111 then the $150.
I hadn’t updated the core list for 11 pages and did it this morning. At some point Mr Scott does another round of sorting (some people have asked to be removed so all move up a bit this time)

So i can assumed that i am on the First batch :smiley: . thanks The Miller.

Where is the updated list?
