This is actually the 3rd time you asked. You are included in the sale. Now you just have to wait until about mid January (so Neal can catch up on the current orders) then you will get an email and PM, personal message, showing you where to go and how to purchase.
ARE YOU ASKING TO BE PUT DOWN FOR ONE OR TWO LIGHTS? I’m not quite sure.
I selected registered mail, I never got any tracking info. It was a nice surprise when I woke up, and the box was on the table, this light is much bigger in person than I thought it would be.
I can certainly imagine that following this thread and handling all the names and questions can surely lead to some kind of nervous breakdown at some point. The team is doing an incredible job. I hope nobody lost his health, GF/BF, job or family in the process. Thank you GT Team!
I selected registered, and left it at that, now that you ask, I looked at the box and DHL sticker is on it, shipped Hong Kong to Las Vegas NV, than US postal took it from there to Lake Havasu city, Priority two day mail. I’m happy, you guys done great, Neal done great, I payed the moment Neal put the note on facebooks flashlight fanatics.
I have been watching youtube daily for new GT videos
but the cold must be keeping people indoors as there are only a few videos to be found
I did spot a funny recently uploaded un-boxing vid,
………it looks like the foam padding does a real good job
Got only 1 of 3 today in Pismo Beach CA. Ordered and paid for 3 lights and 2 sets of batts in the 556-1038 group. DHL shipping chosen.
#’s 818, 819, 886
Paid #47 in 556-1038 Paid List
DHL handed off to USPS in Van Nuys CA. No notification of shipping or tracking number.
No outer box, just the actual box containing the light and foam.
A little disappointing that this one is the one without cells so have no way to play with it.
Man I would love to see a down range side by side comparison of a cool white vs 4000k that comes with the light. The cw certainly looks brighter to me. Anyone that has two lights coming interested? I can’t be the only one curious.
Cool white looks brighter because it “lights up the air” more (aka: diffraction). If you’re trying to light up air, make an awesome light show or play light sabers, then yeah cool white is a great choice. But if you’re trying to punch through the air and actually light up some target somewhere, warmer tints will win out. The designers here made the right choice, functionally.
…but there’s nothing wrong with cool white if its what you prefer.
With up to what the range the D1S throws, between the D1S and my GT, I do much prefer the cooler D1S 5000K. Possible even cooler, but I don’t trust myself changing LEDs.
:rage: :rage: :rage: VERY seriously concerned… I’m waiting for mine to be delivered… and I’ve just come across the following on YouTube… this guy has the original ‘Giggles’ BLF Gigathrower (which is what I thought I was purchasing…) and now has just received the new BLF GT we’ve all ordered… and he compares the two… go to 03:16… he starts with the original and then fires up the new model we’re all getting… and get ready to weep… if mine performs like this with the (relatively) weak yellow beam - it’ll be getting returned for a refund.
