Strange, same as above, have you checked your spam?
I see your order. Send me a PM if it is not in your spam and I will send you the edit link manually.
This I do not know. I would assume they would all ship together but the bag and cap shipped seprately last time due to not enough space in the GT box. So that might happen anyways this time as well.
I can ask but I would not put a lot of weight on the answer based on past situations like this.
Indeed, it will be tricky to spread the word enough and for people to have the money to spend in such a short amount of time. Depending on when the lights ship I might talk them into leaving the group buy open longer, the price will just be locked into whatever it was when it “closed”. We will see when it happens.
The parts are a bit more expensive but mostly the GT itself is far more expensive to make and in particular to ship then they planned on when they set the first GB price. They learned their lesson and the price increase is nessicary to turn a profit, which is a good thing.
Had they not broken even /made a profit on the last GT (which it did not look like they would for awhile) we would not have this GT70. The fact it was so close last time is a big part of why this version took so long, they only agreed to it with the price hike.
I then talked them into the tiered pricing system to give people the chance for a lower price, they wanted a flat $240 regardless of quantity
Far as the lumen readings, there are a few factors.
First the 9k reading was on my old sphere calibration, which I found out was too high. I am using my new ANSI based calibration that reads lower.
Second I do underrate things, I saw over 7500 lumens with the test light but we still do not know what the production LED will be so I have to keep some wiggle room.
It is not really a lower limit, just an educated estimate with some wiggle room. Final numbers will be after a production LED is selected.
Nice project, can’t commit yet. Hoping for 500+ unit price.
Hi!
I reserved:
1 complete GT70 3700k

Yes… one of the Blf gt xhp70.2 with DTP MCPCB 12v and TA driver got over 7000 lumen and about 600kcd…
Signed up for 1 with lens + batt (and maybe reflector)
Kinda hoping for a CW tint though I’ll still prob end up with NW

Thank-you
Can they avoid sending the GT70 to Canada by courier otherwise this could end up a $500 CAD light after custom duties, brokerage fees and what not are added?
I do not know how they will ship to Canada. I don’t remember hearing a lot of issues with Canada on the last GT group buy though.
I checked yours and do not see a reservation for you. Were you using your phone by chance? Have you tried another browser?
Question Of The Day
Hate to bring politics into this:
With the tariffs that will be going into effect on Friday how is this going to effect the prices on all that we do?
I’m in for a conversion kit and a lens,maybe a reflector - confirmation received3 by mail
Signed up for 2 – Conversion Kit
Signed up for:
1 x GT70 NW
1 x (8) 30Q Batteries
Maybe on (1) extra lens depending on price
Signed up for 2 full lights. Prefer neutral white.
Would like extra reflector, lens and cell carrier for both
Would like one set of batteries, not two.
On a side note: I would also like to request an option for the shorty tube. Tried ordering direct from Neal but was eventually told they were out of stock and had to raise a Paypal disbute to get my $10 back.
Dumb question maybe, but with the short tube, is lumens/lux the same but only shorter run times?
With just 4 high drain cells you’ll get a little more voltage sag so you lose just a little bit of output, but not much. So it’s mainly run time that you’ll notice.
It’s kind of like running the Q8 on 4 cells or 8 cells. 4 gives it plenty of power. 8 gives it a little extra boost plus the longer runtimes.
