5,600 lumens I'd say, probably a good # to use right now.
Ohh - standard SRK size, can't check now.
heheh Tom, being asked for lumens soo often.
Let me grab it and give the measurements in a little bit
length ~133mm
OD head ~59mm
OD tailcap ~52mm
Sweet THX.
I was guessing 50 - 60 mm diameter and 100 and something mm long. but a guess are not good enough in my world.
Now i can do a much better job at finding a pouch worthy of the Q8
And another one that can hold P 36 / U 21 sized lights that are what i would EDC if i had a pouch stronger than the one that came with my P 36.
But i will be bringing both of those lights with me to the shop ( that sell weak ass overpriced flashlights too )
Maybe i should bring a handful of 26650 and 18650 batteries and see if i could fine a little pouch that could hold a few spare batteries in waterproof boxes.
Ok Miller, please put me down for one. Realized I never signed up after my intro post.
Little bits of time gives little bits of information on the proto3:
Being a noob in this user interface, I studied Narsil a bit more with proto3 in hand and came across many very good features, and also some features I had liked to see different, but everyone has different preferences of how things should work.
I also measured output on the full 7135 setting, so 350mA, it is 182 lumen. This is nice efficient: with the batteries almost full at 4.1V that is a system efficieny of 126lm/W, and with the batteries a bit over halfway at 3.6V it is even 140lm/W. This is my most efficient flashlight to date (but not by far).
So I guess the prototype is perfect and the light will be available tomorrow?
Whenever a project is this close to completion, I like to open one of these to celebrate:
Especially if the project is a soup can light.

The V is for vengeful. Is the next letter in the sequence a G?
No the next would be a b again in my logic 
Victory suits better but just BLF suffice 
Not yet Werner
In for one, please.
Dammit, I was aiming for Vengeful Goddess from a few pages back.
It was aligning so perfectly (at least in my mind).
Mr. Miller, can you please add 1 more to my name (for a total of 2). I want to give my father one as a gift.
Thank you!!
Hey! You just got here!
…
Okay, which of you wise guys put a sign at the entrance warning people about me?
If you want to do that, it would be cool. There aren’t many of those at BLF, particularly ones which can handle 80 Watts with smooth ramping like the Q8. So if you can make that work, a lot of people would probably like it. But it won’t be relevant for the Q8 project; it’s far too late for a change like that. Perhaps the next project?

See, I’m not always vengeful. I can behave… sometimes.
… (((( zoom out )))) …
But when I find the person who put up that warning sign… smitey smitey!
Wow using only 2 GA cells
It kicked in LVP
So I started stopwatch
After about 1 minute 25 sec it stepped down again
1m20s again
~52m again
~7m
~3
~33
~1h,32m
Still too bright to look directly into the LEDs.
And when waking it still worked. At ~12 hours now, after the cells have reached LVP on two cells.
This is awesome for the first 2,5-3,5 hours it was giving so much light I use normal lights at that brightness.
The ceiling bounce app crashes but will try to get it running for I would love to see a graph on the runtimes. Starting on turbo with 1 minute stepdown for then it won’t get too hot
Nice pics from proto 3! But correct me if i am wrong I thought that we get the 3 bladed tailcap. On the pics i see something else.
I pointed this out a couple days ago, but got no response. I’m assuming the 3 blade is gone.
Yes, the 3-blade design is gone, Miller asked to bring it back in the final version and unexpectedly that appeared quite a problem for Thorfire. Because it was not really a big deal we did not ask further to find out what was so difficult about it and left it at that.
I would like one, please add to the list :sunglasses:
Thanks!
