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

It will be next week (which will be next year) for sure but past that we don’t know.

They seem to be shipping it by pallet with DHL and kind of following the DHL shipping pattern on where the next lights go.

I have a feeling it is hard to get enough lights to individual country’s in the EU as most people over there went with registered mail.

They have not really given us much on how and why the shipping is being done like it is.

I wish they would spread it out worldwide or better yet just go in the order they were paid, that we we could get a wider range of reviews and uses. But seeing as they were not making anything off most of these so far, I can’t argue with them wanting to save a little money by combining the shipments to the same countries.

The strap is this one:

The ring on the tailcap of the light can be rotated until it aligns with the other end. Just give it a push.

Hello, please put me on the list for one GT, thanks!

Things should start getting real interesting in about 6 hours when it gets dark on this side of the world.

I thought the one on the tail rotated.

(I’m searching for the picture/video now.)

heatwaves…. it sounds to me you are talking about the tri-pod mount on the bottom. There is another strap attachment point back on the tail cap.

“”“YEAH”“” :laughing: :laughing: Love the double headed GT!!! :+1: :smiley: Strap that to your shoulder! Got your 12 and 6 covered! :open_mouth:

The lanyard ring around the tailcap rotates independently of the tailcap’s threads.

Mine is hard to turn, not ‘twirlable’ like the prototype in VOB’s video.

I received email from Neal (because all that mixup with shipping method and then batteries included/not included…) on Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 2:24 PM,
he sayed my light (with 8 samsung cells) will be shipped today but no other info, like DHL tracking number, was provided.

And I will name it…… GODZILLA!!! :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

Your bird photo made me laugh hysterically!

I found a few more. The goat is certainly my favorite! :partying_face:

Yes… Hello 911! I just saw a UFO zipping back and forth threw the sky :laughing: :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is the photo…
Not sure why the strap connectors are facing in different directions when fully tightened.

Perfect! Thanks so much for explaining it (and to other commenters as well)! Mine was just a little stiff at first, but now seems to be moving fine.

Please put me on list for a third GT. I need one more for modding.

The tailcap ring should rotate with a little effort to match whatever you want.

Also there is another mounting point higher up on the end I would recommend for attaching a strap, it will be better balanced.

I posted this in the other thread as well. That 5” neoprene cover on Amazon fits perfect. Like it was made for the GT

  1. What are the Amps you are all getting?
  2. What`s the lux you are all getting?

Interesting to know if everybody has similar output and throw!!!!

Please post them if you can.

fits perfect.... for the amount it covers ;)

reminds me of people wearing a rainhat, with no raincoat.... at least it keeps their hair dry ;p
