I thought about getting a lux meter, guess Iāll do it since Iām definitely into this kind of stuff haha. I know they are cheap, just a shame about the shipping.
I know the distances are not something to go by in terms of useful light. However, relative to eachother the GT should still have roughly double the range, as it has a cd rating that is almost four times as high as the TK75.
Correct me if Iām wrong:
TK75: 340.000cd
340.000/0,25 = 1.360.000
ā1.360.000 = 1166 meters of throw
Maybe if anyone from the Netherlands (in the east) feels like it I could compare with another GT, but for now I guess I will get a lux meter and share my findings later.
Iām still looking forward to the release of the XHP70 light engine/kit. Will definitely get that one when itās available.
Thank you for your replies Jason, youāve been a big help for everyone here.
What more is needed? I got a refund in a random amount, I have no what was cancelled or why, the amount does not equal any particular item or set of items, and I never received the specific items mentioned.
I think youāve found the person youāre looking for. JasonWW is the main public contact for the BLF GT project lately, doing most of the public support and trying to get issues resolved. If his message sounded strange for a forum member, itās probably because heās involved in the project and trying to help.
I must have missed somethingā¦ maybe a deleted post? Whatever it was, it doesnāt appear to be here any more.
In any case, it sounds like JasonWW and/or Neal are probably trying to resolve things in private. Hopefully they can figure out what happened with your order.
If the refund was $40.50 then that is most likely a refund for the cells, some places can not have the cells shipped so they were forced to send refunds.
You can contact āNealā on here for more details, he is the one that sent the refund and will know why it was sent.
Yep, for 1 set of 8. I ordered them on the last day of the gb. Neal said the batteries could no longer be mailed alone and it would have to be refunded. He said he would refund it a couple days ago when he went to LT. May be sent the refund to you by mistake.
He said this to you, who lives in USA?
My first thought was batteries too, but Iāve never heard of shipping restrictions from Lumintop to the USA. This seems quite odd.
Yes, thatās what he said. The order was for an extra set that I placed on the 20th. I didnāt see anything that said an extra set couldnāt be ordered. When I asked him about the order, thatās when he said I would have to be refunded because they couldnāt be sent alone.
I see that Alamo was #1079 and #1080. The cutoff for paying was May 3rd, so he should have received his lights a long time ago.
If he had ordered batteries at that time they should have been shipped in the lights.
My guess is he ordered the batteries (as well as bags and straps) at a later point in time (unknown date). The bag and straps are probably still traveling to him, but the batteries had to be refunded.
Hopefully Neal will give him an answer soon and explain things. Lumintop and Neal donāt work weekends, but their Monday starts sooner than ours in the USA.
That guess makes the most sense so far. If Alamo had just given all the facts of what was ordered, when it was ordered, & exact amount refunded, when he first asked this question; instead of calling you āsnarky cool guyā ā¦ā¦ he could have received a much better answer to begin with.
That is not meant to be rude or snarky Alamoā¦ā¦ just a fact.
Jason was simply trying to help you figure out the problem you posted about. To figure it out, the details were neededā¦ā¦. not generalities.
