Thanks for the feedback. Im just wondering what others who bought into this unique/specialty light were thinking. I mean lets face it, a 700+ gram, beautiful copper or brass thrower isn’t the most utilitarian type of light, it screams more “fancy” to me then hunting/camping/hiking like i use other lights for. to be honest, i was pretty certain i didn’t want this light because i couldn’t see a practical use for it. then again it is so cool i couldn’t help but to buy it. lol
I don’t think anyone bought it to chuck in their tool box. Probably hunters would use this the hardest. The rest of us with a few lights it’s going to sit 95% of the time so bonus it looks nice.
I don’t have a sbt90 either. Was considering the wurrkos but its smaller head and not out yet. For 100$ i could not pass on this deal 
- Yes, i asked them to label it as limited it because of premium metal and limited quantity. 350pcs combined and there is no plan for second release for now.
- It would be The prettiest shelf queen in my collection for some time. I can't keep my eyes off her right now. Light is so dense and it felt like holding a piece gold ingot in my palm. It is an amusing feeling that makes you giggle from time to time.
Great to hear! Can’t wait!
This will be my first SBT90.2 so mine is going to be used and knowing me will probably be abused somewhat. I always end up dropping them or at least knock them off the table onto the floor. Or have it wedged under a 4 ft. mower deck as I slide it across a rough cement floor. That totally beat up a FT03 but now it is the best looking light I have. It made me feel bad at the time but now I love the look.
I totally understand leaving it in the box. Many, if not most people, have all kinds of things they collect that never leave their boxes. Some people do it for investments especially on limited editions and others just enjoy having a classy item like your Copper FT03. I fall into the second category with the stuff I leave in boxes. Usually I have one that I use and a second one that stays new.
The main thing is to just enjoy it.
I recevied mine yestarday and used it as well…love it.
Does it have Low Voltage Protection and overcharge protection?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on usage.
Btw, my usps tracking has not changed status yet. Anyone in US have their usps tracking change since shipment? I miss the old tracking of BG where you could see it’s movement before it left county of origin.
Nope
It seems for USA that BG ships to a location where items are repacked and then sent (which is where the huge wait can come from)
Do these shipments go direct to customer in other countries or is it the same way?
In Germany BG does it the same war. There is one place where all the parcels go through customs and then reshipped to me.
Robert
yea, its usually the customs department at both countries. things can get tied up badly there. That process has not changed, just BG changed how they share tracking with us. 3-4 months ago you used to be able to view tracking from BG’s CA warehouse to CA (or wherever it shipped form) customs @ airport. BG doesn’t share that Int’l tracking anymore. Maybe it costs extra for that tracking or maybe there shipping partners changed the way they share tracking. who knows, not a big deal, just makes for a nail biting wait. lol (not really).
No change in tracking for me either. Waiting adds to the suspense.
New tracking info (if correct) - Departed USPS Metro NY Distribution Center Dec. 3 for deliver MONDAY Dec. 7 in Pennsylvania.
