Ok, in that case as Jason said you should have a replacement on the way as of a few weeks ago. Neal should have the tracking number for it by now, so you can contact him and he should be able to update you now.
I placed an order for 1 flashlight, 8 batteries,short tube, carrying bag and two lens cover! The flashlight were deliver first and I contact Neal told him about it, the second package deliver around two weeks after that but only contains the bag and two lens covers! Still didn’t receive the 8 batteries and the short tube! So what should I do, just wait and see? I did contact Neal and still didn’t get any confirmation for him!
It’s likely he’s not able to ship the batteries due to new shipping laws. I think a couple other US buyers got refunds for the batteries and bought some from US stores instead.
I don’t know why the short tube was missing. Could be they are low on stock and have to ship a bit later. Or maybe they got your order wrong.
Neal is the person that can find out what’s going on with your order. If you already contacted him you might need to wait a few days for a response.
p_dedy, I just checked what Texas_Ace said about the shipping of batteries and that only applies to batteries bought seperately. If you bought your batteries at the same time as the light, then they are capable of being shipped as long as it’s inside the light.
If you bought them together then they may have made a mistake and forgot to install them in the light. Whatever the reason, Neal can’t send them seperately, so I’m sure he’ll need to refund you on those.
If you find that you do need to order batteries locally, here is a helpful link. 8 of the 30Q with shipping is about $49.
Yes I bought the light and all the accessories together at the same time! I’ve contact him on FB messenger when I receive the second package without the batteries and the short tube! Thank for the info JasonWW
Sorry for the reply! Can anyone tell me how I would go about selling my BLF-GT modded by Sky Lumen Throw of 2600 meters. Paid $650 for it. Never really been used except to test.
i try to use rubber strap wrench to open it but it won’t budge, any good trick to open it without make more damage to the head?
my selection of tools to open it is very limited
I think it was Teacher that said he used some wood with a hole, or partial hole, drilled in it to clamp it in a vice without taking the switch cover off. Just put the switch in the hole so you don’t squish it.
If your by yourself then you still might be able to loosen the head by using a strap wrench for extra leverage.
I just drilled a hole a bit bigger than the switch area in a piece of 1 x 2…. padded each vice jaw with the 1 x 2’s putting the switch area in the one with the drilled hole.
The hole can be completely through or simply a relief that will accommodate the switch area on the ‘light engine’ while clamping it in the vice.
