BTW, I uploaded a new video showing the blinky mode wrap around feature. It’s in my sig. I actually forgot that narsil does a dbl blink beacon. Ooops, forgive me. Lol

Texas Ace Lumen Tube and JoshK Sphere calibrated with Maukka lights
Somebody just gave me a rude mark, and I haven’t even made a post today except one link for batteries!
This is outrageous
Great news that people already receiving their GTs, at least now I can enjoy holidays with my family knowing that rest of the world will get their lights in January.
I posted most of this in another GT thread a few hours ago, but it’s worth repeating.
My GT arrived 15 minutes ago! It’s bigger than I expected!
Use a short-bladed knife (or none) if you want to avoid cutting into the interior BLF GT box. It is a tight fit inside the outer carton.
Some quick comments:
The packaging is nice. The lens had a protective plastic film on it. My reflector is flawless and clean. The threads are super smooth. The lanyard attachment was already installed in the tripod hole.
FWIW, I signed up for email notification with DHL. At 09:15 I got an email that said “delivered, signed for.” I opened the front door and the box was on the porch. I never heard the doorbell or even the DHL truck.
My friend’s GT also arrived today. He stopped by and I couldn’t resist taking a few more photos.
The GT-Dumbbell weighs 7 lb 13 oz (3.54 kilos) loaded with 8 cells.
Yes, we turned both heads on. I cut a circle from an expired credit card to keep the two carriers insulated from each other.
I discovered a budget-friendly GT cap in the pantry. Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ brand quick oats, 42 oz size.
It’s a perfect fit, and even creates an air bubble between the cap and lens if you don’t ‘burp’ it.
I’ll adhere a circle of soft cloth inside it to further protect the lens from contact with the cap.
“Congratulations!” and “Thank You!” to GT-Team, Lumintop, and Neal!
I just got a call from DHL and I won’t see mine until Tuesday. Well, actually my brother will get the first one. I really have no foreseen use for the light. I’ll see what the light is when I have his in hand.

I posted already in another thread, but the registered mail European GT’s will be shipped in January. And if you consider a shipping time of 3 weeks at least, we have to wait for a while. Luckily we can follow the joy of the US members, as the GT is something special.

Wow :D. Looking huge
I know of several that are out for delivery in South Texas.
Neat shots of the two joined, really cool… a cow could use one of those (eyes on the sides of the head….)
Please add me to the list for one!
I’m a longtime lurker (been on CPF since 2004!) but finally signed up here.
Great idea.
