[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Nothing special, I have one that comes with Klarus flashlight and internal resistance is higher then 3500mAh GA model… So just pass and buy Samsung cells offered with GT

I would suggest that people who are complaining about the delays should consider buying one of the many currently available flashlights, or design and build their own. My mom always said “you can have someone cook for you, or you can complain about the food, but not both”

Also all this talk of batteries, chargers, internal resistance, Samsung, ICR, mAh and so forth, soooooooo confusing. Im just going to load it up with these

Like has already been said…… don’t waste your money. Go for the cheaper tried & true cells. :slight_smile:

It’s December, any mail shipped now will almost certainly not arrive until mid to late January or February.
Hopefully not too many packages get lost. That’s always a possibility.

I have not seen any “complaining”. I think everyone is glad LT QC caught this before the lights were shipped. :slight_smile:

You paid just after the last update. So we will have to wait until Neal provides his next “shipping” list. That will probably be in January when he gets back.

If 1A charging is okay by you, then you can get a Gyrfalcon all-88. It does 8 × 1A and is about $40 to $50 I think.

Or you can get 2 of the 4 very popular 4 slot Liitokala lii-500 chargers. I think they are $20 to $25 each.

The Zanflare C4 also does 4 x 1A.

If you want more power then there is the new Miboxer C4-12 that can do 4 × 1.5A, 2A, 2.5A and 3A. It has 10 power levels total. It is $30 to $45.

There are a lot of choices, but these are some of the better ones.

What you would need to do is contact the MaxToch store and tell them you would like to order the 12v version of this mcpcb as it is not currently listed.
MAXTOCH Copper MCPCB Cree XHP70 MK-R2 MKR 32mm x 1.6mm Direct Thermal Path Copper Board

It should have 5 seperate pads for the led. Here is a sample picture using a small 20mm pcb.

Your in Canada, I assume?

What I would do is reply to Neal’s earlier email asking for your phone number, but change the title to “Shipping Change to Registered!”.

This way he has all your info already.

It may be too late for him to change it though, since he’s already left and Lumintop will start shipping them real soon. If Neal gets back before your light is shipped, then he might be able to switch it in time.

Don’t forget that you can also change the declared value to whatever you think is best for your country.

For everyone in the USA, TA suggests DHL as it’s way quicker than registered and it’s not going to have any extra complications or fees going through customs.

Take notice of his forum name. Majoroverkill, it fits!!

lol lol :smiley: I have already bought a set of Sanyo GA’s for My GT. I just saw these and thought they must be made of gold at that price or they where the latest greatest cell :smiley:

lol lol, :laughing: :smiley:

Hmmmm…. you might be on to something ARsee. :wink:
His choice of course, but I’m with the cheaper & proven ones. :+1:

EDIT: Never mind… I see Majoroverkill has weighed in & his sanity is still 100% intact…… :slight_smile:

what a monster! :open_mouth:

Can I still get on the list? If so, put me down for one please. :slight_smile:

Yep. You will get an email early January with all the details on how to buy it.

Amazing! Thank you :slight_smile:

Hello

Sorry for this question. Maybe it was answered before.

Is it possible to change shipping method from Registered to DHL.
I’m 322 on the list - first 555 BLF GT.

How can I do this?

Thank you.
