I’m getting a serious arm twisting right now. A friend saw my GT and is trying to throw money in my face to buy it.

This is why I ordered two from the get go. I was anticipating the same. LOL

I knew he would want one but I was afraid of some issues popping up and wanted to make sure his would be perfect. Had I known the team and Lumintop were going to hit it out of the ballpark right from the get go I’d have done the same.

Neal doesn’t ‘owe’ anyone an explanation. In My Not So Humble Opinion. I’m firmly of the belief that people need to be patient and grateful that Neal and others put their heart, time and effort into these projects. Sit back be pleased that things like the Q8 and GT happen and count your blessings.

I really couldn’t enjoy anything that I treated with disrespect….

@koyotee

Can someone explain this, before i contact Neal?

No disrespect, but the only ones who do it for free, are the people at BLF, Neal does it for money, and Lumintop isn’t a charity either. If it wasn’t profitable, think they would go for it? They wouldn’t. But at least they could let us know that there are some priorities in shipping, as i believe everyone of us is anxiously waiting for it to arrive asap.

I have explained several times that the first DHL orders are being shipped by the pallet. So that can only happen to countries where there are enough DHL orders to fill a pallet.

I don’t think there are many countries outside of the US with enough DHL shipments to make this viable on a large scale.

Exactly. IF people would just do a bit of reading…… every question concerning shipping has already been answered numerous times.

That would be…… NUMEROUS times……….

NUMEROUS = MANY

Does anyone know when the w/ batteries shipments might begin?

If it was already posted, I must have missed it somewhere.

Thanks,

I think those are the next to ship out Now that Neal is back from his Honeymoon.

[BrianK]

So does anyone know how and when the lights are going to be shipped? Relax, I’m just joking.

I’ve written it before… I have no idea how you guys do it. I think I’d make boiler plate text and just copy and paste each time one of “the” questions gets asked.

[mezzmen7]

I missed my delivery driver to sighn for it so I have to wait until Tuesday and pick it up at Dhl …but really just wait…I made my payment thought it would be mi this to come.

Picked up my GT at the local post office this morning, and after marveling at the size, I noticed that it appears Lumintop missed making the switch cover change on my light. The switch cover is black, and I can’t see the LEDs glowing under the cover until I went into a dark closet. My bigger concern is that if they missed changing the switch cover on this light, the firmware also wasn’t flashed to correct the issue that was discovered. Does anyone know what issue I might see if my light didn’t get the firmware “upgrade”? I guess it’s possible that they only missed changing the switch cover and not the firmware, but I’d light to figure out if I’m going to see a firmware issue.

They will send you a new boot I am sure.

For the driver, there is a chance it was done since I am sure they were fixed by separate people.

Try taking off the tailcap and then pressing the carriers down manually to complete the circuit. See how many times the LED blinks and how fast it blinks.

EDIT: Talked to him via PM and his firmware appears to be correctly reflashed. So just the boot that need to be fixed. A fairly easy fix luckily.

Thanks TA,

Can you please explain how we can identify a flawed firmware? You didn’t finish your explanation and I would like to confirm that mine was done correctly.

For a small gratuity, he said he can start immediately.

There is no need to worry about it for most.

Although when you manually press the carrier down to make contact, the light should flash twice quickly (part of the narsil boot up process). If that happens, then you are fine.

Thats great to know. Just as a double check, how would the light respond with the incorrect firmware?

Mine gives a slow single blink with the wrong firmware.

So, EU orders wont be shipped till january eh? Well, as Mr. Trump said: America first

[NikolaS]

I would like to buy second GT, but I am missing some 150$
Totally broke at this time of year :person_facepalming:

@Mitko

So, EU orders wont be shipped till january eh? Well, as Mr. Trump said: America first

For the record, I nor anyone else on the team asked for the US to be first. We were not given any choice or even informed that would be the case till after the fact.

I would have personally preferred (and assumed) that the orders would be shipped as they were paid.

Shipping by pallet changed all of that though.
