Two minutes or even 90 seconds might be a bit more muggle friendly. It will still be hot enough to terrify the unenlightened!
To be fair, now that I’m thinking about it, it was only handheld maybe 50-75% of that 3 minutes. 30Q button tops were fully charged BTW. I set it down a few times for attempted beam shots and L6 beam comparison.
The heat spread nicely throughout the entire body with the head of course being the warmest. It was holdable at 3 minutes in the normal tube-grip area. It’s only at the head that it was a bit too warm for comfortable holding. People that aren’t used to modded lights would probably chuck it and run. :laughing:
I handed it to my wife when I came back in from testing and she yipped with a “What the heck!” as she almost instantly let go of it. She’s among the unenlightened at least in personal use. She likes her lights tame and simple. The Q8 I’m happy to say is neither tame, nor simple. This is a grown-up’s flashlight. :+1:
how about testing the package in water
once i order the light, they arrived at airport when it’s raining :person_facepalming: , when it came to my house, the water ruined the package, and the accesory in it(not much, just an useless instruction)
Looks like the Q8 will at least have a fighting chance against Danish Postal, but i must underline that those guys can dish up mind boggling incompetence.
But i guess that’s a trademark of most postal carriers, or at least those still tucked in firmly under the gooberment wing.
This sounds very interesting. Please add me to the list for one flashlight. I am converting an old Surefire P9 to LED/rechargeable right now, but this new flashlight should also be an excellent alternative.
If the box gets wet and soggy the light will come out and then get lost in shipping. No light for you.
Also a soggy box will not protect it in a fall. It will get chipped or scratched for sure.
I can’t recall a package from asia that did not come in a plastic bag of some sort.
I get that water/rain can cause damage to the box itself and the contents but I just don’t see the rain getting through to the box in the first place.
the packaging allways kinda locks pretty simple, basic and bad, but so far I have far more problems with lost shipments (including customs) than with damaged goods. So I’m happy with the droptest and whatever packaging thorfire will come up with.
The plastic bag which gearbest used to protect package was not damage much, but it’s not water proof, so, thing happened
Thanksfully it is a keychain light
All of the lights I’ve received from China, including lights from Thorfire, have either been in one of those grey padded bags, or wrapped in padding that was covered in yellow tape. I don’t think the package getting wet is going to be a problem.
<—-trying to imagine 6000 lumens aimed at a deluge of rain. Gonna light some stuff up, for sure! Maybe not very far away, but like a miniature city’s worth of light coming out of your hand with all that rain to act as a diffuser!
That would be a no on the “Bronze Color”. That was done by baking it in an oven.
Soooooo, you could do it yourself if you wish. Just be sure to disassemble it first of course………
