[PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open!

These boots that Jason (I think it was Jason) linked to in Part 1 worked perfect in my GT - diameter and height-wise. No trimming of the boot flange was necessary. With a pair of nubber pliers, (you could probably use toe trimmers) I clipped about .100 to .120” off the center nub. Without that clip, the boot nub pushes the switch ON when the ring nut is tightened. I like it now better than the original for two reasons. There is no longer any “free play” before the switch plunger is actually moved after you begin to push the boot. Switch “click” is almost immediate and has a much cleaner ON & OFF tactile feel. I love the entire boot being lite up green. Much easier to see.

When putting the ring nut over the boot O.D., it’s a bit tight. A bit of Honda Spray Polish made it much easier.

I got one GT with the solid Black boot. I submitted a survey form because Neil said he was going to ship a new boot and didn’t. I no longer need it so my survey form can be ignored if it’s practical to do so. No big deal either way.

Thanks, Jason.

Neal, when Lumintop makes a decision about people who did not received their package? My two registered package seems to be lost :frowning: also other user have same problem.
I filled the survey.

let me ask the courier about your packages

OK i’m very glad for Your fast response. :slight_smile:

Please ask for mine also…

Sent you a PM with the trackingnumber…

Thanks

I did contacted them. Since 1 week no answer.
Mike

Please recommend me any good shoulder strap and for BLF GT.

Thank you

Kind regards

I think there is thread about that

My GT arrived today. :partying_face: Well packed, no extra charges. I’ve seen photos and videos. I’m following BLF … Still, I was not ready for such a monster … :open_mouth: :smiley: Thanks to the whole BLF team, Neal and Lumintop …

I see more packing material which is a good thing, but I don’t see any plastic to waterproof it. Maybe the registered mail boxes that got wet previously were just a fluke?

I suppose the beach areas would be good.
A lot of flat open terrain to max out the beam range. :laughing:

Ok, nothing official yet, still got some issues to work out and some other details but just gonna give a little heads up. It is looking like we are getting close to an arrangement for the next batch of lights.

It will be done quite a bit differently then last time (aka, much better) and should hopefully be done soon. It should also make both us and lumintop happy and work in everyone’s favor.

I will post more details when I know them but just wanted ya’ll to know that we are making good progress.

It seems I have finally broken through the great wall of china lol.

TA can You wait with next batch till they resolved problems with prevoius batch? Like it was described on survey

Yes, that is still the plan. They are working there way through it. Although naturally we can’t wait until orders are delivered and such. Just till the orders have been shipped and things like that. They are supposed to get in the parts for the GT’s in the next few days, so the un-shipped orders should start shipping soon.

Refunds are one issue we are trying to figure out how to deal with. Since it is past 90 days Neal can’t use the refund action on the payments and his account is still not allowed to transfer money, only receive it and refund payments. So we are not sure how to handle that until his account is fixed. It will happen, it just might not be before the next batch.

OK Thanks :wink:

I dont need refund :wink: I want my GT so I hope LM will send me second one… my first shipment is probably lost somewhere ;(

Lost shipments are a hard thing to deal with, They will have to take care of those on a case by case basis. This is why registered mail is not ideal, it can often take 2 months + which is too long for many people.

OK, but registered mail was one option to choose… and As we can see there was a problem with wet packages and probably problem with readings of delivery address…

Oh, they will be taken care of, exactly how will be on a case by case basis though.

Heads up… There’s a GT for sale on CPF.

Not surprised, got a link?

I can’t say much since I am planning on listing mine for sale once I finish testing the XHP70.2 driver.
