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

I would think nothing. ??

“Modding thread for mod talk” seems proper to me. :slight_smile:

Well to be honest we are talking aboit the GT carrier and if it maybe be good to design one that can easy be used as 4P or 2S2P or 4S and of course something like that with some parts to protect from wrong insertion of cells could be a nice thing for a Q8s (to stay with Thorfire naming scheme :wink: ) in combination with a fet+1+n driver
So talk about series and such is slightly on topic :wink:

What does SRK stand for?

You're absolutely right. I apologize to spinynorman and everyone else about the tone of my response.

Sorry kiriba-ru, you must have been posting while I was still typing the first time.

Blinker, SRKs (the name) are still available, but the quality isn’t there IMO. I strongly suspect that they’re clones. Just look for them on ebay. I recently bought one with 7 LEDs and I don’t remember the amount of light OTF. The light works and maybe it has that amount of lumens, I can’t measure it. But the UI is the pits with only med’ & high outputs, probably an obligatory flashing mode to make muggers cringe in fear (hold the button for strobe). I suppose for $20ish I got my moneys worth, but for $20 more the Q8 will be soooooo much better. FWIW, I just compared the clone SRK to a Meteor and no way is the SRK clone producing 15k lumens or whatever was claimed for it. By eye it has significantly less output than the Meteor when shown onto an indoor wall.

Today, if I understand it correctly, SRK pretty much just means the form factor of a given light. Basically what’s called a soda can light.

I’m the same as you. I much prefer parallel configuration for a number of reasons and it’s one of the reasons why I wanted the Q8 in the first place. If it was in serial I might have opted-out. I really see no need for cells in this light to be in series when parallel is already producing 6k lumens. That is already plenty for me. Of course, I understand people always wanting more and that is what modding is for.

Agree!!

mark!

And list updated

didn even see the festive page this thread has reached:

Any updates? Since tuesday seems to be communication day :wink:

Pi is not 3.14. It goes on and on. They are just using the first few digits because it’s convenient. Mind not blown.

Aww Come On! JasonWW, you had to go and spoil the fun? :cry:

EDIT: While we’re off topic already. Have you seen the movie Life of Pi? I didn’t really like the movie in general, but there was one interesting thing that happened. The guy’s name is Picene, pronounced “piss- een” and all the kids at school were teasing him. So, he tried to get them to start calling him Pi instead. He did this by quoting from memory the number pi to the 100th digit in math class! :crown:

22/7 is also Pi, and coming up Saturday, so is Saturday Pi day? :wink:

As long as we get to eat some PIE! :wink:

Yes, it is. Seriously.

My Mom is 83 years old, has been baking Pecan Pies a LOONG time… Saturday seems like a great day to talk her into doing it again. :slight_smile:

OHHH!!! Pecan Pies! Oh I LOVE Pecan Pies!

…with a great cup of fresh roasted, fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee… :heart_eyes:
