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

Jason, I think my order was a pallet filler since I was possibly the first to pay who wanted cells from the USA. Or they didn’t include the cells. Both are possibilities.

Tuesday will tell the tale. I hope it’s the first and not the latter. I absolutely hate trying to make things right but I have cells for myself, but this light and cells is for my brother and I’ll wait for the 2nd light.

Edit: Pulsar, tracking tells me that mine was forwarded to “me” a day or so ago. I just think they didn’t get it through a scanner yet. Heck, even if they take secondary roads it doesn’t take all of that time to get to the DHL building in Augusta. I think they gave the folks who work there the holiday weekend off. :) The Augusta “hub” isn’t much. It’s just a hole in the wall and not much else. Maybe one van to handle the “load”. I bet they don’t have more than a handful of employees at best up here; I suspect far fewer employees. I’ve been there and there is no answer when one pushes the door bell during business hours. :) Welcome to Maine.

I have no idea why the text above is struck out. That was not my intention but an artifact of the software.

It’ll all work out in time, I have no doubt.

I have paid for the second GT here is the

The forum software reads the “-” as a code to add the strikeout line to any words between it.


No one is sending out status information. That is why you have not recieved it.

There is a paid/shipping list (a bit outdated), but it shows you are on it and that your order is correct. Now everyone just waits until their light is shipped. Once your light ships, THEN you will get a shipping notice.

So far we have only gotten a couple hundred shipping notices and that was for the usa, with no batteries. There are many more shipments to be sent.

please add me to the list x2

I see you at #1192 on the Millers list.
Coyotehawk will add you to his sign up list for a second light. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime early next month when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

If you plan to buy batteries, please sign up for them in that link I have. This let’s the guys know how many sets they need to keep on hand.

Of course, everybody knows how well the GT throws at long distances. What impresses me is how well it throws at closer distances like 300-400 yards while it is at only 30-50% estimated power. Even in the 15-25% power range it still throws a relative bright beam much farther than you would think. At least that is how I see it with snow falling and temps just about 0º F with a nearly full moon and 2 feet of snow. All of that bright white affects it but it still looks good at closer distances I will use it for more often. At full power in this situation it seems like overkill and you lose what little night vision you have.

I’d like to purchase 2 GT torches please

Mack, you are already listed for 2 lights. It will be sometime early next month when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

Its your Smiley’s. Just use the normal : and ). Words surrounded by “dash” and “dash, space ” apparently indicate strikethrough.

I noticed earlier that bold is surrounded by asterisks “*”

Surely there are more but I’ll let someone else who actually knows the proper formats answer this.

Edit: I just saw Jason beat me to it. Hey Jason, do you know any other formats like italics or underscore?

What about the humidity there,was it high?

Please add me to the list for a GT.

Cheers :beer:

I made a separate purchase for the batteries right before the Giggles shipped so I guess I didn’t make it in time, should I just refund the batteries then?

Coyotehawk will add you to his sign up list for a second light. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.

I can remember the bold, but I usually have to check the others. You can simply highlight a word then click the button to alter it. Here are samples.

bold
italics
underline
strike through

:+1: :+1: :smiley: It’s like holding a lighthouse in your hand :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Ah, NOW I see those buttons! duhurr. Funny how I remember not finding those in the past. Thanks for the info man.

(feeling a little foolish)

ok, back on-topic!

yes it was.
close to 90% i think

You can either let Neal send them to you or ask him for a refund. I’m sure he will take care of you either way.

its new years evening,

no one works today - neither should all the great volunteers nor the team...

you all did a great job!

THANK YOU!!

enjoy the days off and party hard (but responsible ;))

see you all next year!
