Many thanks Texas_Ace for the quick response. When I get mine I will post here accordingly.
Oh shoot! I joined just now! Am I really too late for the next/final batch?
So can you go back and order the other misc items at any time? Funds ran low so I wanted to make sure I donated first, which I did.
A few minutes ago I sent Neal a PM asking if there is any news about the short tube I bought two weeks ago and the eight 35E that I bought with the GT that was not shipped.
The last PM I sent him was a week ago and he didn’t answer.
I hope he is not on radio silence.
Sadly, it is too late to order for it was closed. However you can purchase them at retail price. They closed the opportunity a while ago.
Sadly the GB is closed now but in the OP you will find a link for the public sale of this light, there are only 50 lights available at the moment for the public.
If you read back through the threads, you'll see that there were holidays and other things that has kept Neil off the grid for a bit. From what I have seen he is doing everything possible to catch up on all the things that demanded his attention.
Patience is a virtue.
You can order then later although the prices will be a little higher if they are not purchased and shipped with the GT.
I filled out all the fields on the link but it didn’t ask for any payment information. Do they contact me?
Thank you so much!
Yes, you should get an email at some point with details on how to get the discounted price. With the inrush of GB sales we are all overwhelmed so it might take a few days.
Here's how I can see one way in using the Giga Thrower.
Being a pilot, I fly day and/or night. One night I was on final approach into a county airport and while on descent someone turned off the runway and taxiway lights. 
The airport was basically blacked out. Being experienced and prepared, I grabbed my 6 D cell Maglite, (it being incandescent) which was the cats meow back then, out of my flight bag and shined it out the cockpit to light the runway. My altitude was 400 feet and dropping fast and my light caught 3 deer on the runway. As soon as they saw the light hit the runway from my Maglite, they b-lined into the trees. I didn't have to abort the landing and was able to see the landing strip and land without any incidence. While the Maglite did ok in getting me down, the GT would have really been the light to have if it had existed back then.
You can rest assured that the Giga Thrower will always be in my flight bag.
PS. The reason that the landing runway lights went out was due to the local police shutting them off because they thought that my plane was smuggling in contraband/drugs. I filed a a complaint against them and those involved were dismissed from the police force for reckless endangerment of life.
But I will say that the police thought they had something when I basically landed a twin engine with an incandescent flashlight. The officer commented to me that he never saw anything like it. 
I have other uses for the GT that I will post here but let's hear from you too.
LOL, good story^
Neal wanted me to remind people that if you order the GT bag + Cap you will get a strap with it already, you do not need to purchase another strap separately unless you want to.
LOL yes, I almost ordered the extra strap and then realized that I would be able to use the one on the bag. Great that you mentioned this although the price that he is asking for the extra strap is not unreasonable at all.
Hot Dang! Ordered. Thanks, guys!
Is it okay to do a separate transaction for a donation? Because I missed it when I placed my order.
Yes, this is fine.
I’ll second that. $875 divided among 10 people, for over a year’s worth of organising? I’m sure we can do better than that!
One share alone isn’t enough for all of the work some of the volunteers have done in a single day. It is appreciated.
Been wracking my brain trying to think of something witty to say. Other than I’ll probably frighten the neighbors with it, I got nuttin.
There’s a nice open field off one side of my back yard with some structures off in the distance just begging to be lit up and compared to my other lights. I cant wait to do that.
Ordered pretty much one of everything…except the donations, ordered more of those 
You guys certainly do deserve it.
Hey guys, I PAID. Updated my paypal e mail. But old e mail is on invoice receipt. Email is needed to confirm payment. PMed Neal and support@lumitop.com No answers. Any suggestions? Thanks.
#1235 - Ordered, Paid, Donated, Replied to Neil's email with ID and phone number.
Again, many thanks to everyone's work involved. You all went well above and beyond with the GT.
I don't recommend doing this but has anyone noticed how bright and bigger looking animals eyes seem to be when the GT is lighting them up? It actually made me feel bad after I did it to a herd of whitetail deer but I had to leave it on them for a few seconds just to be sure it wasn't a fluke. They really looked a lot brighter/bigger than ever before. In PA we are allowed to drive around with a spotlight looking for them until 11PM. Its something I don't usually do but I was out testing the GT and couldn't resist on the way home. With the GT I won't shine any of them that are too close anymore.
