“Neal is going to try and get as many of the first batch lights out as he can next week. It’s only 5 days to pack and label 555 lights. If he can do 111 per day, then those will be taken car of. When you add in the 555 to 1000 and subtract the folks who dropped out your probably looking at 800 orders.”

Really, that many people dropped out ? A bit surprising IMO…

[Cutchya]

Paid x2
Forgot PayPal is in Wife’s email. Had to call her and ask her to respond to Neal for me.
Cats out of the bag !
Guess I’ll be looking to add an extra present under the tree for her.

One guy signed up for like 5 lights, then disappeared. A lot of early sign ups disappeared or lost interest. Plus a lot of the first 555 signed up for 2 or more lights and those extra lights got pushed back to the 2nd batch. Now it looks like the 2nd batch may extend past the #1000 list number.

So it might be more than 800 total orders combined. It might be closer to 900, maybe 1000 (if PM were sent to people on the list up to 1100?).

I’m in the 556-1000 group. Got the PM and all paid up for GT’s and batts ordered. Nice and easy to do. I give a Huuuuuuggggggggeeeeeeeee THANK YOU to the team for a fabulous light at near dirt-cheap prices.

Email replied to with requested info.

I just would like to thank the Miller, and the rest of the BLF team, for doing a great job ob the GT. I just made my order for the GT. And Of course, I donated a little something for the Miller and the rest of the BLF team, thanks again guys.

[Greenterror2112]

Ordered, payed and left a tip for the team, good job guy’s this light is going to be great.

I just got my PM and made my purchase. However I’m looking at the list and I’m number 1028, which I’m pretty sure is more than 1000. I’m hoping that twenty-eight or more people defected and bumped me into the first round, could someone confirm/deny ?

That’s interesting. A lot of people who signed up early never made down payments. So the Miller actually had to go up the list to 740 or so to fill up the first 555 list.

It’s possible that Neal and TA decided to go higher than the actual number 1000 for this 2nd batch.

The set of PMs sent today (for the second batch of GTs) went through #1049 on the interest list.

This set of PMs excluded people who had explicitly dropped out. But it did include people who were < 555 but had not made the $14 down payment. While they missed the first batch they can still buy from the second batch at $150.

There were five errors in sending the PMs. Looks like due to non-ASCII characters and/or misplaced spaces. I will be sending out to those five individuals shortly.

Just got the PM with link to pay for my GT. Can Someone please tell me how long i have until i must put the order in & pay for it ?? I'm waiting on a little extra cash at the moment.

I’m sure at least until 12-31, probably longer since ordering will continue into January. Shipping order is still dependant on payment order, though.

This is the answer I was hoping to hear, thank you.

Nice, I’m sure those extra 49 people appreciate being able to order and get it shipped sooner rather than later. :+1:

[Mr.Scott]

All PMs have been sent out except:

ERROR: can not find user Pöbel
ERROR: can not PM user NotSure

Please PM me if you are one of these users.

Ok so i have at least until 31st Dec, if not even longer to order with my link, if i have that right ? Just one more question - The $157.22 each, Is that in USD or AUD since i'm in Australia ??

[Mr.Scott]

That is in USD.

[ARsee]

2nd light was paid for more/less before the PM to do so. Since the 2nd list (Pm received, no order placed) has an increase in price, I sent Neal a PM with a calculated balance of the difference.

Waiting for his return response and confirmation of balance owed.

Texas_Ace posted in this thread that a small number of people in the first batch of lights could buy a second light from the first batch. (You ARsee were one of them.)

My program knew that these people had only received a PM for one light, so they got a, now unnecessary, PM for additional light(s). If you were one of these people that Texas_Ace added to the first group, then you can ignore the PM you received today.

[Neomis]

Just paid for mine, going to be awesome, tnx.
