Anyone know is there MCPCB for XHP50 12V?
Did some shots with my Galaxy S8 (automatic settings), because I have no clue of manual settings.
There was pretty high humidity.

The Apache 3800 from Harbor Freight is currently selling for $30 with coupon and fits the GT very well, with space for 3 soda can lights. I think that’s a great deal, but the Member’s Mark 24” Protective Case from Sam’s Club is even better.
It sells for $30, but may be on clearance for $20 at your local Sam’s Club. It’s even bigger, so you may be able to fit two GT’s, or just a crap load of lights. It also has more latches, plus has wheels and a pull out handle. This looks like the case for the flashaholic that wants to transport a couple of BLF GT’s and a dozen BLF Q8’s, which may actually be a real use case for some people here.
Thanks Bo4ka
This one iz amazing :+1:
I perfectly get your point, i mean, we paid almost 2 months ago under the promise that the lights would be shipped in the order of payments, so i paid almost directly when i got the PM for the first 555 group.
It’s quite disappointing to see that everything goes to the states, all is DHL, and they are even shipping lights to the states for the third group, while some (European) guys who chose registered, are waiting for two months now and they are not even shipped yet.
I knew that registered will take some thime, but this is something to take in mind with the next groupbuy, guys, please take care of this next time!
Please make sure these things are communicated next time.
For now, i will try to be patient and wait till the end of March, which will probably be when my GT arrives.
Just my 2 cents

I have until February 22 at 12:18 PST, 32 days
The shipment of DHL will take from China to my country from 6 to 10 days
Reading carefully the email received from Neal at no time does he say that he will send me the DHL tracking code as soon as it is sent so that I can make the customs declaration in good time before it arrives in my country
I hope he sends me DHL tracking in time to make the correct customs declaration as I asked
This is exactly how I feel. It could be my story. :rage:
Completely agree with you.

For me it is also a lot of money
I have been thinking positive for many days, but positive thinking is being consumed little by little and each time there less
Done
That mcpcb was simply a design I sent lumintop on how to make the xhp70 mcpcb. DO NOT ORDER IT. It will be useless as it will not be a DTP mcpcb but just a normal fiberglass mcpcb. I forgot to unshare it after they looked at it.
Very nice beamshots!
Thanks for letting me know…!!! I WON’T ORDER IT
To all those worried about getting your light and upset over the shipping time.
No one is happy with how long the shipping has taken, we had assumed maybe 2-3 weeks to finish this, not 2-3 months.
The fact is there is nothing the team or lumintop could have done to make it faster. The lights are all ready to go, expect for the reflectors.

When Neal answered the email mine had not yet been dispatched (I ordered it by DHL)
I hope to have my Giggles before February 22

My GT just arrived in regional VIC, Australia.
I was second last on the 555 list and 10th on the paid list.
This thing is insane. Can't wait for dark haha.
Edit: I didn't get any notice from DHL or Neal, so don't get too stressed if you don't hear anything. It will show up eventually.
Well,i apreciate the work the team has put in this light and everything was smooth till shipping; i understand the team didnt take decisions about shipping,but never before there was any explanation that shipping would go to DHL first and preferentially 3lots to USA ; i suppose the lack of explaining things this way,have let other members upset; before,there was mentioned that for shipping costs the dhl full palet,but now,lets face it: does it make less expensive to send all the rest of the units registered? Knowing that registered units would take 2-3 weeks to arrive to its members,couldnt be choosen at least second or third lot to go to registered units , so at least these members would have their lights by the end of january,while almost all DHL would have em allready by that date? I am about 200th on the list and kept waiting,separately i ordered 8cells through neal,to have em shipped separately GT for weight/custom issue,payed in 15th of december,but never received an answer from him since then,even though i sent him emails - Now,if any of you would put yourself in my shoes,what would you do
I am not stressed about when it will ship, when ever I get it it will be OK.
But no communication from manufacturer is really making me angry and disappointed.
Can’t they just give some general info how and when will they ship instead of us making wild guesses?
If I have to wait 2 more months for it to arrive I have no problem, but I would like to know that’s how it’s going to be.
I don’t know if the manufacturer is to blame, it seems Neal is acting as middle man between team and manufacturer, and by the looks of it is shipping if i understand correctly between 100 and 200 lights a week due to reflector availability constraints witch is not (shipping so much or should we say little lights in a week) by any mean a full time job.
Still Neal who apparently speaks very decent english and has a BLF account is still hiding behind TA and team, creates a communication mess and doesn’t make the effort to adress the situation clearly and directly, a past message also insinuated that he took a cut of the sells (don’t know if it’s true) wich would give him even more accountability, my only disappointment in this is Neal not owning to his responsibilities and acting a bit shady.
Maybe i’m reading the situation wrong…
