Thanks for taking the time to clear this up Texas_Ace!
If you speak/e-mail with Neal, thank him for all the effort he put into this 
The centering ring spaces the reflector higher above the LED, not the LED higher in the light. So putting it on the stock mcpcb would not help this.
You can’t print an mcpcb right now sadly, so the only option is to either mod your own or wait until one is released.
I had contact with customerservice of Lumintop and they confirm the shipment of the GT starts next week, and it might be starting on Monday. Have a nice weekend all!
Better to wait until things die down some to send thank yous to Neal, his inbox is already overflowing right now. After it slows down though, please do show him your gratitude to encourage him to take on future projects.
Kinda, not really, maybe.
Those that are using DHL still have a small shot at getting them before Christmas. Those not using DHL never really had a chance at getting them before Christmas in the first place.
Although knowing how things like this go, I would not plan on getting them until after new years to curb disappointment and be happy if it shows up earlier.
This project is still firmly in a state of “it is done, when it is done”. I am not going to rush these final steps to hopefully get things done a few days quicker at the risk of possible issues down the road. Better to take some extra time now and not have to deal with issues later.

I’m glad to find out that Neal is not doing all the packing and shipping personally. That is just too much work for one man. Plus it means more lights can go out per day. :+1:
Thanks TA for this info and the photo of the GT’s. If you watch carefully you can see the GT’s are so big they took a gymhal to arrange this shipment :) :) :)
An extra few weeks, can’t even call it a delay. It’s a big project with so many dependencies. You guys are doing a great job!
TA, one thing a lot of folks have been asking for is to make sure their order is correct on Neal’s shipping list. The list he posted on the 8th is out of date. Do you think he will post an updated list in the next few days?
Thank you TexasAce!
That is just some great news to start the weekend!
Cheers
well, sadly, if it is shipped on monday, no way i can get it before christmas 
Thanks for the update TA…. it is all looking great!!! … :+1:
He just sent me an updated list yesterday but I was wanting him to upload it to google docs to make it easier to share.
Here is the raw excel file for now though.
You would be amazed how fast DHL express is, my prototypes took about 4 days to arrive.
That said, I would not expect it for Christmas.
Unfortunately I can”t open that excel file of the order list on my laptop, it says that I have to buy Office to be able to open it ?
You’re on the 555 list.
Number 216 on the payment list, registered shipping, no batteries, no declared value for shipping/customs
