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

Thanks for the reply. Personally, for me the short tube is more of a gimmick for laughs than anything that I plan to use in real-life situations, and for the few times that I expect to use it I’ll probably just grab the cells from my Q8 or one of the Astrolux MF models. But I was worried that someone might potentially cause a dangerous situation by using either both one or two carriers at different times. Seems like it’s not as much of an issue as I thought it might be.

Sorry for the late response. I stopped receiving notifications for this thread yesterday and just woke up and checked to see 86 new messages. Anyway…

Contrary to Teachers response, I would have to say No, there is not a guaranteed supply for people on the group buy list at the level your currently listed (fourth batch of PM’s, #1426 and higher)

Of the 710 people waiting to buy lights, there are only 650 lights available. TA and I believe that there will be a fair number of people that decide not to purchase and/or drop out.

In 2 weeks we will see what the drop out rate is for the 3rd batch. There could be enough for everyone in batch #4 or it might be close.

Then in 4 weeks the last PM’s will go out and it will be a first come, first serve basis. I think everyone that orders in the first few days or week will get one, but if demand is still higher than supply, the people that try to order a week or two after the last PM’s arrive might miss out.

Again, we really don’t know for sure the drop out rate.

Now we expect more GT Videos! :wink:

Thanks Texas, yeah I followed all instructions for my lights and paid. The paypal payment receipt has my old paypal e mail address on it. Even thought I updated to my new e mail address. And any notifications will be sent there. IE…. order confirmation, shipping tracking numbers, etc…… as per order instructions. I wanted to make sure Neal has correct and updated e mail to send all and any notifications in regard to my order.

I also have a sneak peak of what one of them might be and I think you will like it.

WOW starts right there at 10:40

but i recommend to watch from the beginning ;)


I'm sure I'll like it. He is simply a talent and doing great videos! :)

The original GT-vid already reached 500k! - and this with a topic, which, unfortunately I have to say this, isn't targeting a broad audience.
But the GT for sure is no ED(C) light ;) This thing is very special. Special in what the final product is, but also special how it came into life! Thanks again for that!

I'm waiting for my second now, and hope that there will be an upgrade kit available after GB has successfully closed...
I would really like to try to swap the MCPCB/LED on one. Maybe also the driver.... never done this before. So must be a fool proof solution... ;)


Your XHP70 GT beam-shot is impressive. (GT beamshot)

I am just waiting for my new lux meter to show up so I can get some numbers from the XHP70.2 GT’s I put together with the prototype mcpcb’s.

Then I will be listing one or both of them for sale. Figure I will auction them off and see how high they can go. I think I have earned making some profit off this project. :slight_smile:

I want one of those too!!!

Yep… technically you are correct Jason. :+1: That is why I said “the short answer to your question is yes”. :wink:

Because with the drop out rate AND the negotiations of TA with LT to cover everyone on the list…. it is ’just about’ a certainity. Key words are “just about” ……. :wink:

.

Got my PM. I was getting pretty sure I had been forgotten or something I put in 10 of the donations because I felt like the $800 or so raised so far was not enough. Anyway I am like Ralphie in A Christmas Story waiting for his Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring.

I forgot about TA negotiating to cover everyone. :person_facepalming:
We will see if that needs to be implemented in about 5 to 6 weeks.

Yahoo! Just ordered the light.

I had just enough to cover the flashlight battery expenses. I wanted to make a donation to the team as well but I did not have enough. Is there a link where I can make a donation once I get the funds?

Don’t feel like it is required to donate, it is completely optional.

If you want to you can use the same link you checked out with the first time to donate again later.

Simply fill out this form and Martin will get back to you.

LOL, sounds like the movie “American Made”

Just ordered my light AWSOME now I’m jumping for joy weeeeeeeeeeeeee,weeeeeeeeeeeee:)
