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

Hahaha T18, a quick search and I found a post asking for 4
Will remove all but the first 2 :wink:

Quick question about sending.

This is what I found: Those in countries where DHL shipping causes lots of taxes ask alternative, and the GT will be send in two parcels.

What does it mean? All lights will be sent by DHL, but if your countrie has some Tax issues (like the Netherlands) they will send it in 2 parcels? Then the amount is still too high and we have to pay 2 times the taxes. 1 for each parcel.

When it is sent in 2 packages it will be sent by another carrier (which will be slower BTW).

a shoulder strap? I thought somebody had mentioned a grenade pouch from eBay…

Ok, got it! thanks

REALLY, I must have had a drink or two, I am sorry The Miller, holly smokes, that was a lot of lights, Thank You
I can be a well meaning knuckle head.

I think you mixing this with the Q8. The GT needs a backpack size pouch.

Tracked e packet I think will be used. For those the 2KG max makes it necessary to send in 2.

When will the $14 be due? I keep checking in and the thread is impossibly long to keep up with at this point

LOL, OK, so that’s why people buy two of the same light. I never understood it before, thank you for the explanation !

The good thing about your situation is that it will open up extra units for those who want them at the cheaper price.

Not clear
2 things

1 mass pm via BLF/Mr Scott reducing human error awaiting results

2 pics of improvements made by LT, if we can show improvement on the prototypes it feels much better to ask for down payment for we can show more.

So sorry, relax, and it will come.

Ted, I went with a China made military type with shock cords on the ends from ebay for the L6. For the GT I’ll go the same route. It was ridiculously inexpensive @ $10 or less from what I remember. They had them in various colors.

I found an ebay page that lists them. >>>>>click here<<<<<

I just looked them over since I need at least 3 anyway. This is what I bought. >>>>click here<<<<
The rest of the inexpensive ones with free shipping only had one buckle and they will slip, so you want 2 buckles per end. Buy 3 and get 15% off. Put four in your cart to get that deal. So I have a spare. No big deal.

Been very busy at work, so I haven’t been here for a little while. Checked messages and didn’t see any new ones and was wondering what the status was on this bad boy ?

Look 2 posts up.

Waiting for manufacture on revised/improved battery carrier

I live in the Netherlands too. With DHL your are always charged for tax. DHL is very strict with that. But with Chinapost for example, most of the time you don't have to pay any tax.

Got it. Thx for the heads up…

I hope it’s ok to show these images.
These are taken from the latest CAD files from Lumintop.
Here is a render from the light included knurling. (first time making a render) (clickable)

And here is the newly designed battery carrier. Keep in mind these are just images from a CAD file(!), so the real version can be different. (clickable)

Thanks Thijsco!

The red parts/area, they are plastic?

That’s what was talked about being removed by the user to allow flat top cells?

Correct, if you must use flat top cells and won’t solder blob then you can remove that piece.
