Like above, let me know in a week or 2 if you have not heard back from Neal.
Have you or can you open the head of your light? If so then a new mcpcb with LED would be the simplest option assuming that you can solder the mcpcb in place.
If that is not an option then it is really up to Neal on how to handle it.
Please, remember that I need the real DHL AWB as soon as shipped
A package from China to Uruguay takes less than a week by DHL
The DHL AWB is absolutely necessary to make the correct customs declaration before the GT arrives to my country
Otherwise I will have many problems
Pics from atop a hill in Bloomingdale… I know from google maps that the hill top to water tower is 1-1.05 miles…
So I called a Dad I know, he lives over there. I explained the light, the distance and what I was doing. I asked if he could run out and take a look.
He thought I was BS’ing him…
I heard him on the phone… ‘Yea I see it, it’s dar…holy shit… THAT is YOU? And you are WHERE???’
Yea Mike, I’m on the hill north of Lake street, about a mile north of your location…Over.
He was astounded, so he took those pics with his iphone…
I ordered the GT with batteries via registered mail. I had not realised that both factors will slow it down. Sorry. I just was wondering if that particular combo of messed up is going out in this latest 8 week batch thatunderstand is currently in process, and if they’ll get any tracking numbers?
Just to confuse matters regarding the boxes and shipment methods:
I am in Manchester in the UK. I ordered the light plus batteries and asked for registered mail. I was in the first 500 to reserve and pay etc.
I receieved my light (with batteries) last Tuesday, in one box, intact and undamaged.
It was delivered by Royal Mail Tracked 48. No signature required.
The label shows the return mail address as a PO Box in Southall. A quick Google would suggest that this is some kind of mail forwarding company, maybe specializing in Chinese companies (one search result was from the OnePlus forums, they are a Chinese smartphone company).
Anyway, all is great with the beast.
I’m on nights this coming weekend so will look for a good spot to test him out.
Haven’t a clue on how to post beam shots I’m afraid. I have a decent camera but no tripod.
Hope everyone else (UK and otherwise) gets their lights soon.
No, the reflector factory closed down to CNY as well so they have to get back up and running as well before lights can start shipping. I think they expect the next batch of reflectors the end of the this week or early next week. I would put my money on next week.
Great shots indeed! That does really show what it feels to have a GT pointed at you from a mile away!
You are in the next batch and haven’t received a PM with ordering instructions yet, so there is no need to cancel anything, just don’t order it. Being on the list is not a commitment to order.
However… maybe someone would want to use you slot in the GB… TA will tell.
