Blf doesn’t use moderators and frankly most of us like the absolute free exchange of ideas without having to placate some arbitrary person who likely has no more knowledge than you do. Of course there are other site who have lots and lots of moderators and rules and if that is what someone yearns for, I say go for it! There is a lot questions and posts here because of the new members who the GT group buy has drawn. These folks have lots of questions as this is their first time and with 150$ or more on the line it’s to be expected to some degree. As more and more lights are received the extra traffic will decrease quickly. Just as the q8 thread did. Cheers!
It is probably for the best. Having more people paid won’t help the factory make the lights any faster, and can you imagine the cries grief here if someone in the 3rd round of PMs happened to receive a GT before someone from the 1st/2nd round of PMs? Wow.
I didn’t realise there was a list -
I posted in the Logistics thread, mine arrived in Melbourne, AU 11th December.
No. 164 on list, shipped DHL without batteries.
DHL tracking indicated the package origin was Singapore, and sender was “CYC Company”.
So far couldn’t be happier with it - Hats off to Lumintop and the GT team!
I was getting worried about reflector quality due to a few previous posts, but this marvel has what has to be the highest quality machined aluminium reflector I have seen of this size in an LED flashlight.
Also, the tint is no where near what is shown in that video where it appears yellow. (White balance can do funny things…)
I was expecting something to go wrong when opening the package, as it was completely unsealed, and had no outer box like the video. (If it were held upside down and shaken, the contents would have fallen out!)
I blame DHL/customs for this… You can see where the tape was originally applied and later cut.
But everything was there, and not a scratch on anything.
The only very slight QC issue I can think of was my threads had no grease where other members commented the grease had been applies to theirs.

This is my own little unofficial list just to figure out how Neal is doing things.
This is the latest “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 have seen.
(These are paid list numbers, not sign up numbers)
What Bozlight29 said is not true. Several people in this most recent shipment got shipping notifications/tracking numbers. Just go back and read and you will see.
I think what he meant to say was that this 3rd shipment is a mix of people getting that info and not getting it. Basically, not all the people in the 3rd shipment got tracking numbers. They just showed up.
I think you are set for registered mail. I don’t believe any of these have shipped yet. So we have to wait and see if all registered packages get sent tracking numbers or what exactly.
Nope, I just didn’t proof-read my post…
It was 11th Jan, Last week.
I have done this a few times lately - my brain telling me I need a holiday!
I thought I posted when I received the DHL notification, but not when it arrived.
Although, if you didn’t see it, I may have got distracted and not submitted it.
