Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

Perhaps we can convince (at least we can ask) Thorfire to use a u-shaped silicon ring around the lens, it is wonderful to work with those. In a distinct colour that has not been used by other manufacturers yet, yellow? :slight_smile:

Please add me to the list for 1!

Wow two new members, welcome to BLF! Will update list later!
Honored you signed up for the Q8!

Argh yes we had such a nice idea, two screws holding th e reflector
Dutch: Haastige spoed is zelden goed
OE crudely translated “haste is rarely good”
Yep this needs addressing
It is almost funny, reflector, mounting and thickness of ledboard was not discussed and well not on oar now
Glad this is a proto not the end result.

Oh yeah amber or yellow as oring would be nice Djozz

While I’m for a black or clear o-ring that doesn’t draw attention, a yellow one would be cool to say “hey! Watch out! This is the business end!” lol

Transparent/clear +1

GITD O-ring!!! :+1: :+1:
:smiley:

(I’m half serious about that)

People like to dis the GITD Orings but frankly while sure they are kinda silly, they also look neat when showing the light off to people.

Personally a flat gasket would be ideal instead of an o-ring. I don’t really care what color but white/clear is my first preference.

Count me in.

If there is still room I would like to join the list for 1. Thank-You.

Excellent! And welcome. I’m quite new and literally only joined to buy one of these. Now I have ~100 posts, and am on the list for the GT as well. :person_facepalming: :smiley:
It certainly won’t be my first hand warmer, however.
Just the first designed by the BLF crew - I.E. top notch.

Add me to the list, can’t hold on any longer :slight_smile:

Really like the design :slight_smile:

But the anodization looks cheap, hope it the final product will look more like the L6 or Eagle Eyes X6. Those have some seriously good anodization, better than most premium lights.

OP updated

I am in for an orging in the same color as the switch cover. Translucent,
GITD is nice but not a real issue IMHO

We were just emailing about the ano yesterday.
Of course HA3 sees ideal, but I really hope Tom manages to make a video of the tailcap being slowly baked a bit above a gasflame in his kitchen. This would give not only an indication of what ano the proto has, if it is type 2 we will see such beautiful transformation of colors going on I think lots of people set on HA3 will start thinking twice about that :wink:

Please add my name to the list. Thanks.

yep will do later!

Question from the newbie: how this flashlight performance would be compared to Nitecore TM06S ?

$120-160 for an SRK clone? Wut?

The Q8 is potentially 50% more lumens, more throw, true smooth ramping, wide choice of UI's. The TM06S though is not reviewed, doesn't seem very popular - no reviews on batteryjunction.com, one 7 word review on Amazon - yikes! Not a very popular light. I'm sure it has some sort of regulation in output the Q8 won't have, but nothing published I can see on runtimes either by NiteCore or in reviews, unless I'm totally missing a stash of info on it.

Great :+1: Can’t wait then Q8 would be ready for sale :sunglasses:

I vote for tan or fde coloured o-rings :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t think o-ring colour is a big deal. Translucent, black or GITD will look fine in my opinion.
