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 love this!

This is what I’ve been waiting for!

Not just photos of something in the distance, but close up photos of stuff illuminated by a GT miles away - brilliant!

+1 !! Those are impressive shots justanotherguy…. THANK YOU! . :+1:

Does LT already have reflectors on stock for this week production?
Or do they have to wait for reflectors and production will be in next week.

Kind regards

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.

Thanks to all involved in this massive project.

ATB!

The next batch has not started yet, it won’t start until the existing orders are finished.

Also, everyone will not take 8 weeks, just some of them.

Like now, we have 50 people that still need orders shipped, there will always be those that are last to ship.

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.

Haven’t been asked by PM to pay yet. Soon?

Hopfully a few weeks, as soon as the existing orders are finished and some of the issues have been taken care of.

outstanding

Very good, this means there is a possibility that I get GT in March :smiley:
Thank you
Kind regards

I (I think number 1477 on the list) would like to cancel my order due to personal issues and not really needing it.

Thank you

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.

My BLF GT finally came in this week!
Registered shipping, took a while and came in 2 boxes without the foam to protect it, but…

OMFG that thing is sick big.
I love it! It’s totally undamaged, looks amazing and performs like a beast! Very nice tint too. Very well built :+1:
No taxes to pay on arrival either. I understand if registered shipping will be unavailable next time, but I’m very happy I got it for under €100 delivered. Amazing!

It really makes everyone smile, what a crazy big bright heavy piece of amazing work.
Thanks team, all your efforts and the waiting paid off. This is a very nice piece of gear you all made possible! :+1: :+1:

And with it selling on ebay for 350$+ I can even convince my girlfriend its a good buy :smiley:
Mine I won’t be selling for sure!

Anyone find s good pocket clip for the gt?

If allowed can I take his number in addition to my first order?

So nice to read all the positive comments, thanks - really makes me look forward to receiving mine! :slight_smile:

Don’t tell me that you gave her a good excuse to ask you to sell yours…to invite her for a week-end in Paris with the profit. :person_facepalming:
