Did you get the payment email with the code in it??

Anyway….

$325 / 1 x GT70 Retail
$ 6 / 2 x Lens Cover @ $3 each
$ 20 / Shipping to OZ

$ 10 / More shipping
——————
$361 / Total Paid

It should have been $246 USD .

They will hopefully fix it for you or maybe you can cancel order & start over.

Texas_Ace:

Sadly It doesn’t look like they will be offering the reflectors separately. They informed me this weekend that they are worried about them being damaged in shipment and will not send them separate. I am not sure why they feel this way but I have exhausted all the options I can think of to talk them into offering them.

The same goes for the spare lenses, although these I can understand.

i got my info from couponinfo@lumintopus.com

@ Texas_Ace: Ok, no lenses and no reflectors…

But what’s about batteries and conversion kits?

Mark_M · 2018-08-14T01:57:51.000Z

Received my email and bought one. It was $5 free shipping for me or $6 for DHL.

Ok, the $2 shipping will be refunded later, that is built into the system and they are having trouble changing it so they are just going to send refunds.

So, Lumintop did a nice thing to offer us a lower price point even though we haven't met that quota yet and then only charges an extra $2 shipping. We are still $3.00 better off because of their gesture, so doesn't anyone think that if we complain about the $2 shipping that Lumintop are all going to think we are just a bunch of cheap b@$$t___s?

The batteries are out of stock it seems, I am waiting for details on when they will be in stock.

The conversion kits they have not given me a date yet.

Yeah, I kinda feel that way myself but they actually offered the $2 refunds automatically when I asked about it and I was not going to complain lol.

Yes your right.. i paid full price of $325 for the GT, Just finished sending an email to Leo@lumintop.com so i hope they will fix this as it has left me pretty severely short & i only just got paid.

Yup i got the payment email with the coupon code in it, Not that it works anyway..

atbglenn · 2018-08-14T02:13:58.000Z

I got an email from marketing.lumintop@gmail.com stating that my order says “Wait for shipment”

Actually, my account on their website says that.

Texas_Ace · 2018-08-14T02:13:46.000Z

Ok, they said that those that want batteries can get them but the order will be delayed some. I am going to see if they can add the batteries to the website and people can order them with the foreknowledge that it will cause the order to be delayed.

Since they can not send the batteries outside of the light this is the only way to get the cells from them.

I will update the OP with all of the details once they are finalized.

skillet82 · 2018-08-14T02:19:13.000Z

Anyone know what the run times are by chance? Also I read somewhere that the batteries had to be nearly full charge to get turbo mode… is that true or false?

Runtime will depend on how bright you have it. In turbo it will last around ~1-2 hours (dropping output during that time of course), in moon mode it will last months.

The between modes will be between those naturally lol.

You can access turbo at any voltage above Low voltage protection (~3V under load) but you will only see the highest output numbers with fully charged high drain cells.

skillet82 · 2018-08-14T02:37:04.000Z

Thanks for the quick reply, also sorry I asked in a pm also lol. That sounds pretty good to me.

Please read post #469… i dont do runtime…

Fully charged… 7300 lumen. Sometimes close to 7500
3.8v. 6500 lumen
3.69 v. 5800 lumen

Those are tested with texas ace lumen tube.

Note. 4.5 in tube is alittle too small for a blf gt… in reality, you can add extra hundred lumen to top it off.

The following email addresses are not accepting emails, most likely it was a typeo when filling out the form. If anyone recognizes them you can contact me for the email.

dyates · 2018-08-14T02:58:17.000Z

Just ordered one. Coupon code worked for me, $222.00 total. I am excited they gave us the better pricing early, so I am cool with the two dollar shipping.

Texas_Ace · 2018-08-14T03:06:13.000Z

Ok, For those that want the $2 refund on the shipping, just send Leo@lumintop.com an email. It will be easier this way since he will have to do them all manually and those that are not worried about it will save him a fair amount of time.

Plus like was said it is still $3 less then the price it should of been.

Maybe it can help one of the employees at lumintop that mistakenly sent a full refund for a GT instead of a partial refund for the batteries only and the buyer would not respond to them after this and just kept the money and the light.

The employee was stuck with the loss and had to pay for it out of pocket. :person_facepalming:

They even sent me his contact info but as soon as I mentioned who I was and why I was contacting him he stopped replying…… :weary:

Masejoer · 2018-08-14T03:17:08.000Z

Awaiting neutral white - will order once available.

beastlykings · 2018-08-14T03:19:05.000Z

Sorry if this has been asked, but I went back a few pages and didn’t see it. I got my email for the CW GT, but I was hoping to get there NW OG GT conversion kit. Is that still a thing? I see it says the NW is delayed, and that’s fine, I just don’t want to miss something and screw up my chance to get the conversion kit.

So what do I do?

Thanks for everything guys.

I’m so excited over the great deal we got I’m not going to hassle Leo over $2.00. If $2.00 would make a difference in my life, that would be really sad.

Did Leo say when these will start shipping?
