Tell Us When Your GT Arrives (or is on the way)! [Formerly: BLF GT DHL Delivery Logistics Discussion]

I do not see any listed weights in the tracking info.

Just going to put this here…

I have classes available for a small fee, Let me guide you to becoming next Steven Spielberg. :person_facepalming: :smiley: :laughing:

Hahajaj nice one, so if we drop a 45lb plate on the box itll come out assembled. Ill keep that in mind when i receive mine. :smiley:

Haha! I got overnight shipping from Hong Kong. Beat that! (Yes, I’m joking….just cannot believe the speed from China and DHL)

Hmmm… mine was listed below the last column on the right. (the “Pieces” column)

Yes ARsee, batteries came with my order.

That is odd then.

Mine looks like AmericaEDC's https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/49021/232

Thank you slimkango

That is odd ARsee. Mine looks like that also…. there is just another section that tell country of orgin, my name & addressn, the package info. All left to right.

Beats me??? :slight_smile:

I got mine today even though it said the 8th

You'll have to excuse the apparent "blindness" in my earlier response. It was a long week, and late.

slimkango commented his included batteries. Comparing my waybill and quantity, I think both my lights (at least one w/batteries. 2nd battery order was after light order) with batteries will be here Tuesday.

Time for an unscheduled road trip!!

Got my GT & 8 batteries last evening delivered to Central California, USA.

Took it out for a quick spin - what an amazing light.

I never received any notifications via email or text from DHL - made it a nice surprise.

Got my GT and 8 batteries on 1-6-18. DHL handed it off to the USPS and it was sitting on my door step when I arrived home that evening.
Never received any tracking info, not complaining just saying.
Thanks goes out to the BLF GT team, you guys did a great job!
Now if those dang batteries would hurry up and charge, looks like I may need to upgrade my charging equipment.

Just in from DHL. My 2nd GT w/batts arrives Monday. :THUMBS-UP:

Good deal…… looks like I was wrong about them both coming at once. :person_facepalming:
Oh well… :smiley:
Glad your getting them.
….
On another note. Are you going to take your bezel off to do your ‘LED burn in’ OR just split the head, exposing the LED

I am gonna do it the second way mentioned.

I was eyeballing the area in front of the switch. I noticed a little o-ring grease and thought about taking it apart there. Honestly, I think taking it apart there is a better approach, and leave the reflector alone.

While I was at it, the carry strap attach point on this one is sitting at about 11:10 . So while I had it apart I could maybe align it a bit better. The connections don't need to be so dang tight anyway.

Time for me to get outta here. I been awake for 22.5 hours!!

I didn’t receive any text, email, or phone call. GT was here when I came home yesterday. (DHL w/ cells)

Everything looks perfect except for a hard to turn rear lanyard ring, perhaps need to re-seat and lube the o-ring.

It’s too darn cold to go outside, but it sure looks impressive indoors. :smiley:

Yeah… I’m thinking that will be the better option. That way the reflector, lens, & bezel can remain intact as a unit.

If you figure out how to change the alignment of the front strap attachment point, do let me know. I do not see anyway at all to do it.
Mine is at 6:30……. :person_facepalming: … :wink:

I wonder if you can add an o-ring of some kind as a rotation spacer? Like adding material back to the tube and have the light still work as it should?

In your case it may be more effort than you want to mess with?

Hmmm…. you could probably do that but i think it will change the focus… So that is no good.

Yeah…… mine is a lost cause. :smiley:

I get ya. I think. I'll give it a go and you tell me if I'm on the right track. LOL!

If a ring spacer is used for alignment of the strap connection point, that spans the MCPCB/LED that distance away from the reflector.

So then maybe a slug of copper the thickness of the spacer ring, could be put under the MCPCB to regain the focus parameters. Yeah?
