Thanks!
How much was the new lights supposed to cost?
I’m seeing $325 and somewhere I read it was $200 something? Are they refunding the differences.?
I sent an email to Leo asking him about those of us who are waiting for the NW lights to be ready to ship and if buying the 30Q cells now and having them hold them until the NW’s are ready to ship is the right way to do this or is there going to be cells available just for the NW lights.?
Hard to beat $43 for 8 30Q’s.
Thanks
Gary
Oh ya, one more suggestion for the wish list of parts, how about switches, I’m forever getting lights that the switch eventually fails on me and finding the proper replacement can be impossible at times .
They are $225. Th emails for them include a coupon code that drops the price. I will send you a Pm in a little bit.
I would wait on ordering the 30Q’s, I see asking them to hold the order also asking for problems.
The switches come pre-soldered onto the drivers so they would not be able to offer them separately as they do not order them that way. The conversion kit does include a switch though.
Thanks TA, I went back and reread the email with the code so please disregard, and regarding the cells, yes your thought was my thought exactly so thought I’d just send a message to the fella who sent me the CW notice and asked him about what happens for the NW’s but your formal inquiry would be much better for all of us.
I can barely read an email that clearly says $220 with a discount code even, so whatever Leo tells me about cells for the NW’s will probably get translated here backwards.
Thanks for insight on those switches, I didn’t know that, so the conversion kit is very important, and the reflector.
Have a wonderful day :laughing:

Some time ago i was able to buy 4 Samsung 30Q's for $23 Australian on Banggood, so i ended up buying 32 of them & ive never seen them as cheep again since. About $16 USD.

I paid the $325 before I knew of the discount code. Is there any way I can still get the code and the $100 discount?
Contact Leo@lumintop.com and explain the situation and he should be able to refund you the difference or cancel your order.
If I sign up at this point am still eligible for the discount code? I’m a bit late!
Yes, it is still open at this point. My guess is it will remain open until the NW lights are ready.
The next emails will not be sent until the NW lights are ready but if you want a CW you can PM me for the code.
Great! thanks
-Edit
Just placed my order! 
Just filled in the form
for a conversion kit. Finally got around to opening the GT up yesterday, surprisingly easy, I must be one of the lucky ones.
Hi all,
I am tossing up between this GT70 Giggle and the GTvnV2 (https://skylumen.com/collections/v54-lights/products/blf-gtvn-v2-2mcd-throw-king). Primary use will be Search & Rescue plus perhaps bushfire (wildland) use, though I'm not sure the latter is compelling for obvious reasons.
Thoughts?
*edit*
I've signed up for the following:
How many giggles: 1
How many conv kits: 0
Extra cell carriers: 2
Tint: NW
Spare reflector/lens: No
8x 30Q cells: Depends on price
Welcome to BLF.
The GT70 is definitely more bang for your buck in terms of price. It should have a larger hot spot than the other light.
The GTvnV2 seems like you’d need to use binoculars to use it’s full range. It has a bit smaller hot spot than GT70.
Personally I’d get the GT70 to try it out since it’s so much cheaper. If you try it out and still think you need more distance and aren’t finicky about the exact color of the beam, you can slice the dome off and gain another 400 to 500 meters.
If that’s still not enough distance for you, I’m sure you could sell the GT70 and then get the GTvnV2.
If I look at the distance the sliced dome version GT70 has, which is about 2000 meters, your paying 3 times the price for 40% more distance with the GTvnX2.
Something to think about.
Maybe I’m missing something, but are spare reflectors going to be avaliable?
Thanks.
Sadly Lumintop thinks there is too much risk of damage in shipping to sell the reflectors separately (why, I am not sure).
Sorry if this has been asked before, but will international shipping for conversion kits be less than $20?
It depends on your location, it ranges from Free to $40. The order page lists out most countries and the corresponding prices.

Do you see the same???
Shipping to Germany (e.g.) is only 3.10$… so the flashlight costs only 223.10$

EDIT:
you can get the batteries (4 pc.) for 20.45$:
It’s quite possible the listing has not been fully set up yet. All the prices, etc… should be finalized by the time it’s ready for sale.
