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

Iā€™ve found that using max hold can give higher readings than normal. I turn the light on turbo, then wait about 30 seconds or so for the output to drop and stabilize. While waiting is when I find the brightest part of the beam. I move the sensor back and forth around that ā€œbrightestā€ area and see what the highest average reading is.

Then again, my lux readings always seem lower than others. So IDK. :slight_smile:

Just a few days ago Kawiboy1428 reported at least two GTā€™s where the bezel threads were not cut just right or something. I dont think these were group buy lights.

Just a word of warning for future Lumintop customers.
Me and others still have unsolved shipping damage replacements.
Also we are ignored when asking about that.
I wrote Lumintop 6 days ago PW on this forum, they said, that someone will reply me shortly.
6 days and nothing.
Beware guys. No one cares about our broken lights because of Lumintop poor packaging.
Mike

well thatā€™s just splendid. thankfully my 2nd GT hasnā€™t exhibited smoking, but i wonder what i should do with this one now. Any chance that Lumintop will send around that tool they use to open the head up?

Smoking?? Did you ā€˜smokeā€™ the reflector on one of yours??

As far as LT sending the tool around to open the head, I think the chance of that happening is just about zero. :wink:

It you have access to a big sturdy vice use that ā€¦ the result will be the same.

same as me, i wrote both to leo and neal but they went silent until this day :frowning:

Noā€¦hope not anyway since when i turn it on turbo and the grease evaporates immediately, the smoke just hovers around in there and itā€™s gotta settle down eventually. 6 months after receiving it after all the anticipation for this lol yes iā€™ve been looking around for a cheap one, vises of that size cost almost as much as the GT for some reason around here and iā€™d rather sell it to someone who can open it than throw that cash down the gutter

Grease canā€™t evaporate immediately. Based on the accounts of a buyer here, if there is still some liquid flux on the mcpcb it has to be heated up for several minutes to get hot enough to start smoking. When that happens it settles on the reflector right away.

Are you maybe seeing something other than smoke? Maybe water vapor or something?

Where do you live? Are there any mechanic shops around that will let you use their vise? None of your friends have a vice?

Do you have a set of rubber strap wrenches? Have you tried one around the upper head and one around the lower head?

Hereā€™s another way.

What happened today, you heard from them?

Or do you mean they went silent, period.

I have no strap wrenches. But i just can open gt head using diy strap. l Make ut using unused belt, and some pieces of hollow iron as handle.

Currently in mobile, will take some pic and upload its.

Sorry to hear that sp5it and zelee.

Hope there is some help and team can push neal or lt to solved yours problem.

Silence. They keep ignoring my emails.
Mike

no reply from both of them, now i got expensive junk at my storage

Is there anyone could help us get replacement parts? I have expensive paperweight since Marchā€¦
Mike

Just my .02ā€¦. but these guys need some serious attention & relief.
It has been way to longā€¦ they need it now.
Just restating the obviousā€¦ā€¦. :+1:

Just to confirm, has anyone ever gotten a response from this email address? leo@lumintop.com

All my emails go unanswered.

Just to be clear about what I said above. I am not blaming anyone on the team.
Lumintop knows & has been well informed about these problems. Lumintop needs to get with the program & get these matters resolvedā€¦. post haste. No excusesā€¦.

Last email from Leo I had in April. He wrote, that I can send GT head for repairs or fix by myself. I responded, that I just need replacement parts and never heard him again.
Not responding multiple emails from different accounts.
I wrote PM here to Lumintop user, they replied, that they forwarded it ti Leo and he will respond with a bit of delay. It waj July 21.
Now even Lumintop PM is ignoring me.
Sorry, but it is not what I expected from them.
Mike

Are you confirming itā€™s a valid address?

Is leo@lumintop.com a valid address Jason??
I think that is where Mike said he sent them. From various accounts of his own.
