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

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but please add me to the list. I’ve been enjoying my Q8 way too much, so hopefully I’ll find a use for this one. Besides introducing everyone in the neighborhood to BLF.

I want one please!

I got my BLF GT today. I just want to say thanks again to everyone who made this happen especially Lumintop

Okay - I want one please!

I asked Neal about ordering one before the New Year - not sure if he ever saw!

So just in case, Add me to the list please! :smiley:

Add to the list please.

Please add me to the list. Thanks!

Held out until the end, I’ll take one!

Coyotehawk will add your names to his sign up list. 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. (Uses PayPal, btw)

You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock. Just add them at checkout.

Welcome to BLF, new members.

Ps, for everyone else, *THE GROUP BUY IS STILL OPEN, BUT CLOSES TONIGHT!* If you want one, say so in this thread so you will be included. Price is $157 shipping included. After that it could be $250 or whatever price Lumintop decides on.

All the latest updates are in post #1.

Along with many others, I’m sure, I do have a slight feeling of apprehension. I found myself at #1280 on the list and waited patiently. A couple of weeks went by and got an email saying to pay. Did so, got the reply from PayPal and a note from Neal asking for BLF name and phone number. Sent those in with the PayPal transaction number. I have not seen a PM to me at all during the entire time I’ve been waiting and lurking, and no further emails at all.

With the group buy closing and so many new orders, are there those that have paid as I have but have no forum PM to back up their claim? Will we get passed by?

Nearly biting my nails, here!

Please add me to the list for 1 BLF GT

Call DHL at 1-800-225-5345. Give them your name/address.

If your order is in the system, you'll know it immediately

please add me in to the group buy (again)!

Came home, GT was sitting at front door. Works great!

Not comfortable using it in the neighborhood - people may think they have prowlers immediately outside their windows if the beam hits a house. Beam reminds me of using a magnifying glass on the sun - quite bright against the surroundings!

It may not get used as much as my other lights, but this is my favorite.

Please add me to the list as well for one BLF GT.

#1280? I didn’t know anyone that high on the list got sent an email with the payment instructions. I wonder if it was a fluke? I thought only up to #1039 got the email.

Anyway, with 362 lights shipped there are roughly 500 other people just like you. Another shipment of 150 to 200 lights are said to go out late this week.

TA is holding back the emails for all the #1040 and up people until mid January in order to give Neal a chance to fill these last 500 orders. They can only produce 200 or so lights a week due to their size. Especially the giant reflectors.

This is the nature of Group Buys. It’s not like buying a light on a shelf at a store. :wink:

I’m not sure how that’s possible. The purchase link was in the PM, (the email is just a notification of a new PM).

There’s a chance you’ve been phished…

I’ll take 1.Thank you.

Yea… In fact when I looked out about 300 yards and saw no uptick at all I figured they were low. Real low. First 4 just finished charging…
I hope to be at 8x full charge by 10pm

Let’s not jump to conclusions. He said he got his paypal receipt and the email from Neal, so it sounds legit.

He is also protected using Paypal. He can always file a claim if need be.

Northbeard, did you pay on Madmax’s website?

Edit, I sent TA a PM to see if he was sent the purchase information. There might have been a few people accidentally sent the Purchase info who shouldn’t have. It was a mass PM setup by the forum owner so not perfect.

Edit: it turns out to be all legit.
