Fine! :+1:
I do not know if I am among the first 168, but I need the tracking to present the import declaration at least 24 working hours before the container arrives to my country
Add me to this list please.
Lol. Good choice !
Are you a member in “flashlight powerfreaks” on FB by Any chance?
Wonder how many people here in Sweden that will get this light. It can’t be that many.
I just checked with my local DHL, and there is nothing sent from Shenzhen to my zip code, so I’m guessing that I am not in first 168 lucky members :cry: :cry:
The smart, easiest and fare way to do it is ship the orders the way it was paid. Meaning the first person that paid is the first light to ship out and so on.

Welcome to BLF.
I don’t necessarily think a lot of people are impatient. I personally don’t usually spend over a hundred dollars on a flashlight and then wait a month before a shipping notification. I understand the process and am not worried. Many other people haven’t been part of a blf project and its understandable if they need reassurance imho. Cheers
I am in maybe first 50 people who paid, but I don’t think it’s practical to send them that way, since those packages will be sent to different regions and will be packed in bulk, so don’t be surprised if all 168 are just for Germany,or USA…
You’re probably right. I’m nr. 1 on the list but I haven’t received an email with tracking code yet.
.
Not to worry, not in a hurry.

Just lying awake at night looking at the dark ceiling wondering when I will get my light, apart from that no issue whatsowever…… 
Happy X-mas to all!
Cheers

Yeah i used to work for a shipping dept in US and that is probably what is being done.
Ah crap, looking at the photos of the carriers, it looks like the “button-top” Samsung 30Q’s I got from banggood won’t fit.
Anyone got any suggestion for nipple-top cells? I’m loathed to email Neal to try and get some of the group buy cells now these things have started shipping.
I’ve a decent soldering iron but really don’t feel comfortable solder blobbing my cells.
I guess worst case I just take the protection off the carriers.
Just solder blob them. First you want to sand the terminal or scratch it. Then once roughened, apply some flux. Allow your iron to get up to temperature, then quickly heat the terminal and melt a blob of solder on. Remove the iron fairly quickly then allow the terminal to cool. I’ve done this successfully, many times, even with ICR cells (more volatile), without the cells showing any signs of overheating.
Good Luck

I have some of the same and the raised flat top measured 7.3mm. TA said up to 8.5mm will fit. So check the diameter. Hopefully yours will fit as well.
In my experience no need to do anything prior to soldering, I don’t even use extra flux just rosin core soldering wire (contains flux already), works every time for flat top samsung or sanyo/panasonic cells.
