That is awesome, Richard is the best! Not an option for us in the rest of the world because of expense I’d say (but yes, he does do international shipping usually), but then again, I’d much rather have a warmish neutral than a coldish one…
Wouldn’t mind 5000k, but doubt I’ll think it’s worth the trouble to change the LED when the light arrives.

thanks, but no result. Switch cover is definitely not opaque, I unscrewed it.
It must be lighted, at least after successfull factory reset.Let me see if I can understand.
You never saw any green light from the switch, even though the main led works fine?
You were able to unscrew the switch cover, but it is or isn’t opaque?
Opaque meaning solid, so no light gets through.
It should look like this:
If light does NOT go through your switch cover then send a PM to Texas_Ace and he will see you get a new one.
Ps, do your green leds light up?
They are a lot weaker than on the Q8.
.My switch cover looks exactly the same. Green leds do not light up.
I am not new to flashlights. So I could remove the driver and see if there are any issues. But it would void the warranty.
I don’t think it would void the warranty.
It should be pretty easy to check for power on the led. Just set your DMM to DC volts and probe the rear of the switch pcb on the black and white wires. You should see 2.18v. The white wire is ground and the black wire is for the switch leds. (The red wire is for the e-switch and has 5v to it)
If you see no voltage, then it’s possible your black wire to the switch came loose or the firmware is not sending the signal out. Maybe yours is set to off by default? You could make sure the settings are turned ON. You can see on the bottom of page 6 in the GT manual that there are 3 options.
If you DO see voltage, the software is working fine and it might be your tiny resistor by the leds not making good contact.
Here are some pics.
If you don’t feel up to checking it, I would PM Texas_Ace about getting it fixed (assuming it bothers you).
Black cable was not connected to the driver. Problem solved.
Thank you so much BLF GT Team, for this beautifull monster
My GT arrived today :sunglasses: ! No batteries with DHL.
Thanks to all.
Did the wire break loose or was it not soldered? If it looks like a manufacturing issue we should let Neal know about it.
I’m glad it was an easy fix.

Probably an isolated case.
Not really something to worry about at this point.
Glad it was just a loose wire.
I’d say it is still better to let them know rather than let it slip.
Sure it could be a very isolated case but I’d rather know than not.

Yokiamy: JasonWW:I put Neals “*paid/shipping info.
Thanks for the update TA!
That wasn’t Texas_Ace, it’s me.
My bad, sorry Jasonww
Packages on that list are sent out by DHL, or registered? (Since i opted for registered)
Regards
I’m didn’t receive the GT at this moment. It’s my brother Megabassie. I hope mine will arrive today. Keep you updated. We can conclude that the European shipment of Saturday has reached Europe, but not all addresses.

Interesting. I think these drivers arrive at Lumintop with the switch already soldered.
I wonder why this wasn’t caught when they did the testing on it? It’s possible they are in a brightly lit area and can’t really see the green leds.
Anyway, I’ll pass this info on to TA.
Sorry, I will be more specific.
This is a rough list of people from the 3rd shipment who have either got tracking notices or received their light. These are all international orders and only DHL as far as I know.

ok, you can put Polarweis and Megabassie also on the list.

Without any additional costs?
recieved mine today, Germany with batteries and dhl, had to pay customs .

Added.
Did they go through DHL? The paid list has them as registered, but I know a lot of folks changed it after paying.

Yes, no extra costs whatsoever.
Canada, with batteries, second group, 775 or 975# depends on the source, Shipped on 9th, yet to be received, it’s in Ohio…… ya know…. some kind of purgatory for flashlights…

I think black wire is not for switch.
It is for LED (XHP 35 HI), or not???

i think you are referring to the Negative Led wire on the right of the above photo. if this wasnt connected the Led (XHP35 HI) would not work.
there is also a smaller black wire that leads to the switch. you can see it on the left under the red and white wires, im guessing this is the one in question.
