Was this with 3B tint? If so, you may want to check with them via live chat. I ordered another set of AL 3B on February 20 and after days of inactivity I found out they were not expecting them until March 6.
They seem to have both tints back in stock right now so just ask them if they have enough of the 3B to fulfill your order and when they will be doing so.
I totally agree that they should consider replacing defective parts.
But can you imagine the headaches about trying to tell warehouse workers (probably a different location then Neal or Mgt) to pull an item out of stock, make the inventory adjustments, then take the right part off, then package it up to you properly, then communicate that this was done, then “order a replacement part, then keep keep on the supplier for the replacement part, then if and when it arrives inspect it, then find the (”undamaged partial item”) and re install it, then re inspect it, then make the inventory adjustment then put it back into stock. Never going to happen!!!
But maybe BG can create an RMA/QC department and have them take on these tasks for (all of there items for sale???) or maybe Neal can get some support for his R&D/”pre production builds”. Because lets face it that’s what were are to BG, free R&D and a group who will pay for a pre production run. So that the bugs can be worked out before they go into a full production run.

That fits my suggestion for subsequent group buys: everyone participating agrees to be part of the “charlie test” (alpha, beta, ‘sorry Charlie’ … software process steps)
and so Neal only has those names as acceptable for questions/replacements — to keep the parasites from jumping on trying to get more for their money by claiming problems without helping solve them.
Yeah, unfortunately there’s nothing I could do about that.
I wonder how feasible it would be to give the MCU the ability to block the bleeder during normal operation. Standby current (after LVP) could potentially be as low as ~0.01mA then.
The only way to stop these lights from draining a cell is to physically break the circuit, like unscrewing the tailcap a bit on the aluminum models, or taking the battery out on the steel/copper ones.
Hank, I do NOT think the use of that word is wise, as it will have an intimidatory effect on many members with genuine problem(s) that may be afraid of being labelled as such.
We want members to feel free to post here regarding their problem(s) with the lights &/or the supplier(s), WITHOUT being afraid.
