Regarding shipping:

- does it matter if GT was ordered with 18650 cells or only FL?

- does it matter which method of shipping was choosen (dhl, registered)?

• is destination country important, have all flashlights went to US, did someone from EU got this FL?

Thank you

DHL Does not ship to where i live in the proverbial boonies ,neither does usps ,my light arrived in Tucson yesterday early in am and was shipped to my post office so i just came home after driving to post office to pick it up today which for me has been a record time ,last year I ordered a manker u21 and an acebeam 70 ,it went from dhl to usps in Tucson Az to elpaso Tx then to pheonix,to Tucson As back to Phoenix a d Then back to Tucson and finally to Sauhurita Az 10 days after reaching USA .
on a lighter note”pun intended”thank you BLF team to all your time and effort!Neal as well and lumitop!

UPDATES: It appears that the first couple of shipments are going out by region instead of the exact order in which we paid for cost reasons. Initial quality has been fantastic.

The first shipment of lights (168 total) shipped on Dec 23. This was a pallet going to the USA from the first 550th person on the paid list that did not include batteries. Tracking numbers went out on Dec 27 and lights started arriving to customers on Dec 29th.

A second shipment of lights (size unknown) shipped Dec 27. Location unknown. No tracking numbers recieved yet.

There should be a European order going out in January.

@solRNY

this thread is gigantic… can someone point me to the led bin information, and driver schematic?

It is a 4000k D4 bin.
More info here.

I don’t think a driver schematic has been released. It was built by the member Del. Member Lexel is working on an aftermarket version in different sizes. I’m sure he knows.

[Migacz112]

Okay, i have been thinking about it for weeks now and i can feel the money burning in my pocket, despite not having much of it

SIGN ME IN :money_mouth_face:

Edit: for clarification - Please add me to the list for 1 BLF GT flashlight

How many Dutch GT’s are coming our way? Can we fill a pallet?

[JasonWW]

@DEL

Sure, no problem. I was hoping by now someone would do some better demonstration videos, as mine are pretty blah!
