Are they shipping the lights to the US in batches ?
I ordered and paid for my GT70 on Aug 30
(Order: #900112870)
I still have not seen it or been updated on the shipping time

If you registered when you purchased at lumintoponline dot com, you can sign in and check your order status. My order status is ‘Wait For Shipping’. But I ordered much later than you - Sept. 12th.

Patiently waiting…

I just got an email from Leo
and he said they will ship next Monday or Tuesday

@justanotherguy

Any GT70 guys , CW, who de-domed… Can you PM me?
I think this is the direction I am going… 10-15% loss of 8000 lumens, while stretching the throw closer to the original GT…Tint shift, not a biggie to me… Best of both worlds?

TIA
Tony

If you are wanting to have someone dedome the light for you we should know your location so we can suggest someone local.

I can do it for those in the USA.

Far as the trade-offs with de-doming. You do get a longer throw light for sure but the tint does shift warmer and greener.

Personally I prefer tint over throw so I just leave the dome on but if tint is not important for you then de-doming is a great way to get more throw.

Lumintops website doesn’t seem very secure and they ask for most of your info before allowing the PayPal transaction. Am I doing something wrong or is it safer than I’m thinking?

[teacher]

I don’t know. Really all they are getting is basic shipping information it seems to me.

Yeah, security is not a big deal, they only get your address before, all the payment info is handled through paypal and lumintop never sees it.

[GoMeR]

Sounds good, thanks for the replies.

How long does it take to receive a light after ordering?
I ordered an CW version on 31 Aug and haven’t received any shipping info yet. Is this normal?

That does seem a bit long. Once it gets into the hands of DHL they can typically ship it to your door within 3 business days. The big variable is the time it takes to go from Lumintop to their third-party shipper and then to DHL. This can take from a few days to maybe 2 weeks. Maybe TA has a shipping update.

I would follow his advice here.

They do ship in batches but it is odd that it has taken so long for yours. I would contact Leo@lumintop.com and check on the status.

I did the ceiling bounce tests on the blf gt lights… I use my olight sr96 and mt18 as a reference since they are measured by TA tube…

[td1042k]

Is lumintop in Hong Kong? If so I hope they are all ok after Mangkhut blasting through!

Already received a reply from Leo that he would arrange shipment this week and send me shipping info.
Thanks again for the assist.

How did the olight sr96 and mt18 results compare with the TA Tube measurements??

[Rusty_Joe]

God I missed these forums!

Someone update me on the stability of runtimes in each mode, please. And what are lumen outputs for the 12 standard modes?

Quite excited for CW version.

[Cmopstologisch]

Is there any chance to buy a short battery tube for the GT (70) at the moment ?

BG doesnt really show if its available at the moment.

Would be great, to make this light somewhat “carryable”. It would fit into my backpack (sideways) and I would be able to carry this light with me (on tours). I visit bunkers, mines, huge factorys at night and this light would be great for some long range illumination.

This would make the light more useful for me, apart from being an “oversized toy” with limited practical use.

(Word of the day: would)

2: We are already driving the XHP70.2 quite hard as it is, more power will only give minor gains in output and a lot more stress on the LED. So the chances of killing the LED go up a lot. Personally I just leave my springs stock.

My intentions is not really to try and squeeze out more juice, but to make sure they didn’t use that crap white rubbery thermal paste, and that the LED has got enough heatsinking behind it so that it can handle the heat. I modified my BTU Shocker into a SuperShocker over the weekend, and I was surprised at the crap thermal paste, very thin LED shelf and big unutilized gap between the LED shelf and the driver. Filling that with copper or even aluminium will help the LEDs a lot, and I was wondering how the BLF GT70 would compare.
