PM Neal and he should get you taken care of.

[Texas_Ace]

Everyone should also thank MrScott and SB for their work on the mass PM’s. There is no way I could have sent all those manually! They literally saved an entire day of work and made things way simpler as well.

[Yokiamy]

Thanx to everyone involved, ordered yesterday, worked flawless!
Now the hard part, waiting until it arrives…

That’s some weeks now that I’ve followed from times to times this thread, but I’m still unsure to jump in the wagon. Apart from the technical aspects and the need to posess a refined, uberspec’d item or just the giggle factor, I don’t see clearly the business case in this light. I mean that I’m trying to be a “reasonable” being, therefore seeking relevancy in my decisions or taking them at least trying to, and here I’m not sure how I could use this light. Infact I have some metaphysical flashaholic questions

How do you plan to use it guys?

It’s like choosing between an economy car or a performance car. Nobody needs 500+ horsepower, but if it’s well within your budget, why not? Just buy it for fun.

The GT is basically 2 lights in one. The stock version that can blast a medium sized hotspot over a mile OR a xhp70.2, 6000 lumen light that can blast a big hotspot half (or more) that distance. I’m sure I can find a use for one of those versions.

Plus there is not going to be a more powerful thrower come onto the market any time soon, so why not buy it now and save some money? If Cree ever releases the xhp35.2 that can do 4,000 lumen, we can easily upgrade our GT to it, easily bump up the current and stay on top of the list as the longest throwing led flashlight.

Don’t you want to trick people into thinking a UFO is landing? Lol

Thanks Jason, now i’m fighting myself against getting a second one!

Regarding the UFO trick… wouldn’t the GT actually attract UFOs?

Jinx (England) is not the same member as antiparanoico(Uruguay) IIRC

@Jinx

My email (pm didn’t work for me) said I was down for two lights but I think I only asked for one?

I have ordered only one for now anyway.

I do not see your name on any of the lists. Did you receive a PM to buy the light?

ETA: Based upon when you initially requested, it looks like The Miller has you down as “Jeansy” on his original list. You requested between Kommessy and Box, which is exactly where the name “Jeansy” resides on the list. :question:

Correct. I’m guessing he is looking at Post #3

His name shows as number #62 but request #64 on that list.

The problem is that Jinx (England) is not the same member as Antiparanoico (Uruguay)

Edit, after further checking member Jinx is member Jeansy look here:

Jeansy's battery tests (new impedance tests)

Hi everyone, I am discharging a few cells to see how they preform and thought some of you guys might be interested. Im sure there are better was to test but this is how i have quickly set it up. My Fluke meters are calibrated by an external company (Pullman instruments), these give a accurate idea whats actually being drawn from the cell. Ok just to explain what the pictures show. The Fluke 179 on the right is wired in series with the cell and charger, so what ever current goes through the …

It’s finally happening!! Made my weekend to get the PM on ordering the GT!

Just placed my order for a GT+the 35e batteries and responded to Neal’s email with my phone number and BLF username. I’m 606 on the GT list.

Thank you GT team for all the work y’all put into making this absurdly impractical light happen. This is definitely the most excited I’ve been for a flashlight.

Custom survey? I went through this exact order process but never saw anything about a custom survey.

[PabstyLoudmouth]

Super excited to get mine. I hope it comes before March, but it is ok if I have to wait that long.
