[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Raising holy hell because your GT is not here. Asking to ship in two boxes so you can scam your country out of taxes. Your GT arrives in perfect condition, though the box and packaging were not ideal. PLEASE, unless you GT is damaged don’t keep posting all this mess.

You got your GT, you should be happy.

Your Dt70 video convinced me to buy that monster. Now that I see you’re still at it, I’m surprised you haven’t been arrested yet - those poor people in the tower blocks can’t be getting much sleep! :smiley:

Let me get this straight; you are throwing accusations of bias based on some of the boxes shipped via registered mail being damaged but, as of yet, No actual damage to the flashlights. For some reason in your mind there is a conspiracy to treat Europeans bad by Lumintop, and you think this can happen because the blf team isn’t respected. I thought that was wild enough, but then you post that you haven’t received your light, Hell you haven’t even paid for it. Why don’t you take a deep breath and relax until you get your pm to pay for your GT. All this crazy conspiracy talk is only making people nervous and giving TA something to respond to when you know that there is nothing he can do now, and even if he could, THERE HAS YET TO BE DAMAGE ANYWAY. I really don’t want to insult you, I just wanted to put your situation in context, and compared to the folks who have paid at the beginning of December and are still waiting, your situation is surely less dire.

Dra maaaa :wink:

Contigo and Blinker I am glad you enjoyed my anecdote. My grandmother has been a widow since my grandfather died 14 years ago. I know she doesn’t really do well when something interrupts her electricity flow and she panics while running around her dark house looking for candles, then her search resumes except this time its for matches. I have spent quite a bit of time educating her on how to operate led flashlights. Since I joined the blf i have been putting flashlights with a simple ui in each of her rooms, and she keeps one in her purse and the trunk of her car. I know it is overkill but I simply can’t stand the thought of her being scared while sitting in a dark house. When I showed her what the GT looks like she was in awe of it. By the way, she has mastered the art of tail standing the light in order to light the whole room with the ceiling bounce. Cheers!

Yah, I tail stand my Q8 just about every night before I go to bed. Your grandma is fortunate to have you for a grandson.

One thing you’ll hear only once in your lifetime:

So…i was on my porch…and i lit up my grandma… :laughing:

@Nev , I hope You are fine.

Hello Giancarlo, You are number [1192 & 1555] on the list, so in the 2 / 3 group, wait a few weeks, then you will get a message with the link to buy the GT.

Thank you very much. :smiley: :+1:

So, to all fellow Europeans that also received their GT's recently.

Please stop posting pictured of your raggedy box. Do you think Lumintop wet and then crushed your box before sending it to you? Pretty sure the shipping company is to blame. You stated your light is in great shape so all is good and you have a great light at a great price. Your complaining is helping nothing.

Some small things I noticed are:

1. sometimes I hear the glass “click” or “pop”, almost like it’s cracking/bursting but then again it’s not. Very weird and not only when the light is on, but also when I do some soft “swinging” with it when off. Very scary!

2. the flat sides on the battery tube are completely off-line/off-center with the switch/button (perhaps this is meant to be or not, but esthetically it doesn’t look good and could be improved for the final product).

3. the black attachment-ring-hole on the head is also completely off-line/off-center with the switch/button (perhaps this is meant to be or not, but esthetically it doesn’t look good and could be improved for the final product).

4. the silver attachment-ring in the tripod-mount-hole is not horizontal in line with the head (perhaps this is meant to be or not, but esthetically it doesn’t look good and could be improved for the final product).

5. one of the small LED on the switch is shining brighter then the other (perhaps this is meant to be or not, but esthetically it doesn’t look good and could be improved for the final product).

Anybody else noticed one of these?

Every single one of those things has been thoroughly discussed.

All these alignment wishes are difficult to fulfill, it has to do with how threads work. Even if you design and manufacture and tighten it so precisely with the exact amount of force that all alignments are there, over time everything will shift again by wear of the threads and then your OCD starts striking up again. It is not a manufacturing fault, getting these alignments right requires a complete different way of joining two pieces (like bolting them together). Note that many high end flashlights have this exact alignment stuff going on.

Ok "dude", that's great! It means I'm not the only one noticing those small things :D

Now I'm looking for the "glass issue" but can't find it ... can't read everything everyday ;)

Cheers

I'M in. put me down for 1 Giggles !!!

No politics in BLF, please read the rules.

This group buy is closed. Sorry.

You’ll need to wait until they go on sale to the public. There will probably be some coupon codes to lower the price.
