or you support Neal ;)

I got my GT awhile back but havent used it much since its 24/7 light out in Alaska nowadays. Anyways theres a blemish on the reflector. Is there any way to get it fixed?

Is it just a small bump? It should not effect the performance of the light so I would not worry about it personally.

If you really want a replacement they should be offering a limited time option to buy a spare reflector from the GT70 group buy

Although it is not clear if the reflectors will only be available with the purchase of a GT70 or not.

No need to worry… I just got my blf gt cw… I found two tiny ding on the reflector… it’s not a big deal and doesn’t effect the beam quality…

I don’t like the new lumintop box… so fragile…

I like the older box from the lumintop… newer box look weak and cheap…

Does the new box have thinner walls, less stiff?

Does it still have the good padding inside?

New lumintop box looks weak, and thin… inside have a same set up ( foams )…

Old blf gt came in two boxes… new blf gt came in one box…

I wish lumintop will ship in two boxes or use one strong box.

The GT was always shipped in 1 box, I have no idea why you got one shipped in 2 boxes.

The new box to my eye looks like the same box except that it was shipped around the world without protection and is beat up now.

The new box box simply more worn or is it made differently?

I think Newlumen meant the early batches were ‘double boxed.’

I was fortunate to get my GT in December 2017. It was a box inside another box.

Ah, yeah that is how they sent the first shipments but now they are just using the single box.

Yeah… all mine were double boxed too from the GB. But the padding inside is what’s important. If the box holds together long enough to keep the padding & contents together, and safely delivered…. that is what counts.

I don’t blame LT for eliminating the outer box…… it was basically an unnecessary expense.

Yea. I am not concerned, as long as the light is not damaged…

I love my blf gt… anyone like their blf gt??

/\ …. Oh yeah…. I like mine for sure. :+1: . :beer:

Looking forward go the GT70 too…… :wink: … I think it is gonna be a ‘game changer’ also.

Could someone please provide the contact email for Neal, as I have a question about my order. Thanks!

Keep in mind that Neal is not handling any GT lights any more. He turned it all over to Leo at Lumintop.

From post #1 of the GT Group Buy Thread.

You can send Neal a PM if you want here. http://budgetlightforum.com/messages/new/12671

Couple of points:

  • Were we supposed to have been refunded the shipping charges already?
  • Did anyone receive their ordered caps and straps with there flashlights. I was under the impression (and told by Lumintop) that the accessories would ship with the lights.
  • Also, is anyone else having issues turning the “360” tailcap strap ring? I’ve tried loosening the nut (how loose before leaks?) but I haven’t been able to budge the ring even with a leverage pin in the ring hole.

Sorry for all the points in one post.

Explain to me what shipping charges your refering to? Did they over charge you or something?

If you ordered just a cap and strap then those can fit in the GT box and usually were. The bags had to be shipped seperate as they are too big for the GT box. If you only ordered straps and caps and they forgot to put it in the GT box, then they should send it e-packet. This is all related to the one piece DHL box. If your in a country where it was shipped registered mail in two small boxes then the cap and strap had to be shipped e-packet. Neal is the person in charge of caps, bags and straps. You can PM him here. If you need an email let me know and I can look for it.

It sounds like your oring in the tailcap got pinched. You have to loosen the screw under the sticker, get it lined up, then tighten it back down. Put the sticker back or use a new sticker to act as a safety insulator in case you put the carrier in backwards.

Yep I had one tight anchor ring on the GT70. Same thing, couldn’t rotate it with a pin punch thru the lanyard hole. Take the ring nut off and try pulling the anchor ring out. Mine was a bitch. The top o-ring land had a heavy burr on it. When assembled at the factory the burr jammed the ring into a press fit. Pull the inner o-ring out and file the top land O.D. till it clears the anchor ring, test the fit with out the o-ring, when all is good, clean, grease and reassemble. That’s what I found on my example anyways.
