Mine landed today. Per tracking it arrived in the US on the 13th, so waiting an additional 10 days from that point was a little annoying, but not Lumintop’s fault.
Look forward to assembling it later with my kids.

Received mine yesterday and me and my youngest(11) daughter put it together this morning. She loved it so much I just ordered another for her birthday in February.
Everytime I have checked on the link in the first post there is Zero of any color in stock. How are you ordering, I must be missing something.
same here, zero in stock. HOW did u manage to order another one???
Managed to loose the phosphor on the nichia led.
Fun experience though and looks like a decent quality battery came with the kit.
Mine is in the mailbox at home. We have had temps in the 20 degree F range while gone. Will the battery still be good?
Well I ordered the grey one(only one that was available). Received the order confirmation and everything but this morning received an email from lumintop that it was out of stock. They did say all three colors should be back in stock mid December. I was given the choice for them to refund or just ship when available, I told them to just ship mine then.
It will be fine. However, do not charge a battery that is below 0° C (32° F). I’d also be cautious about high discharges while it’s cold, but that’s not as much of a concern.
Got mine today “Panda White” (bead blasted raw aluminum) Should have bought a few more, I am giving it as a gift…. I really messed up…should have bought more….
I know… I know… still…the tin is very classy….specially as gifts….their is just something about giving/getting a gift in a Tin at Christmas time…even after the gift is gone the Tin lives on… as a storage container or something…I have way too many cardboard boxes, if you get my drift

Hey thanks for the heads up! Just wondering how you order the grey or white? The “cart” button is greyed out.

yaa…haha…try it…
I just did! :+1: He is actually a very cool cat, a great sense of humor and very personable, a major asset for Lumintop!
Unloco: McLight: Unloco:Sh! Lumintop wants to change the rules of the deal now.
I hate when the rules are changed after the deal is closed!
He sends me an email… “We ship the order and it was stuck and return due to a battery is included and the package oversize.” “So we kindly ask you can pay an extra $8 to cover the shipping cost?”
I am very pissed about their behavior, I wait to calm down to make a decision and send them a kindly answer…I hope it reflects what I mean… sometimes the ggl translator changes the meaning of things.
Please explain Dealchanges? I ordered 2 pcs, and 1 is after 2 days shipped, 1 in backorder. I got no email with any changes of the deal… maybe ggl translate tricky…
When I bought (and paid) it was free shipping.
It was “shipped” and now Lumintop wants to charge me shipping fees ($8) because “battery is included and the package oversize”.I am going to disconnect from BLF until I make the decision because I entered this thread and I got even more pissed off.
I had finally made the decision …
I was going to pay them the $8 they asked me for “free shipping” but… d_t_a:…
Battery is not included in the package received — Lumintop informed that batteries were not allowed to ship to my country, so they’ll find another way to ship the battery when I order another complete Tool AA flashlight in the future (battery placed inside the flashlight and use a different shipping method)Seeing this…
I have a question: Will they include the battery if I pay them the asked $8 for “free shipping·?
Therefore, I will wait to see what happens as some more packages arrive at their destination…For now: Frozen funds.
PS. What happened with Lumintop ? Some problems arose and it has not appeared more …
Yesterday I paid the $8 for the free shipping.
I hope it is sent without any issue, especially that it comes with the battery.
I will report any news.
Can anyone confirm the color temp of the Nichia? I messaged customer service and an employee told me that it was the same one they used in the IYP series. I’m hoping it is, which would be 4000k. Anyone have one in hand?

If i right remember its 4850k and 6500k…I can check the lumintop answer if i’m back home…
Thanks. I was hoping 4000k,but under 5000k is good
Much appreciated! I can deal
LTP agreed to : Emitter: Cree XPL HD 6500K CW and Nichia 219CT is about 4850k. I hope you can deal with it…

Thank you for the deal; I’m really excited to get it! I’ve heard nothing but good things about the light.

Picked up mine from the mailbox on Monday. The tin is very damaged but the contents appear ok. Will assemble this weekend.
