Please put me down for one
Already wrote some weeks ago, but couldn’t find me in the list.
Thanks mate
Add me to the list for one (1) please 
sweet, cheers Miller.
Got some button top 30q ordered pretty hard getting batts to NZ for decent prices.
I am in.
I had some hesitation earlier and happy about not being removed from list. Just getting my Q8 in the second 500 round. Because of the Utorch UT03 hold I will buy this first.
Welcome to BLF!
Will update the list tomorrow
Latest situation (could change but this is what I know)
It is my understanding there will be not a lot of time between the batches.
Preorder starts September 7th for all.
One can order as many ad one is on the list for
It will be drop shipping, the Q8 will be send directly from Thorfire to us, no delay going through Banggood warehouse.
When the lights are made, they are send and based on the actual order date and time. So it will be exciting to see who gets theirs first, shipping will of course play a major part here.
I am going to say this again, in case of good and bad, post here in the thread
I am here and in case of issues we’ll work it out, just relax and be friendly. I do not want to make a topic for possible issues for I do not want to have to follow a thread with only bad news 
much more prefer having it all here so when I see x new posts it will also be positive
Thank you!
I would love one if still available.
Haven’t been active very often in this thread. But a total of almost 1600 units is impressive.
Awesome!
hello and thanks for all this awesome work I am on the list:
902 fedcas
but I haven’t received the mass PM even if I am above 1275, is it normal?
Also, at the moment I should be in the second batch, but I would prefer to wait some more time, is it possible? or maybe I should swap with someone in the 3rd or 4th batch?
The BangGood listing has it with HAIII military grade hard-anodized coating, but this thread has it listed as Type II. Did we get an upgrade?
I wonder how many last minute requests will be made today. It’ll be a bit painful knowing that you paid double (or more) the pre-order price!
Thanks to everyone involved for making this light come to life!
I haven’t put much attention to this thread lately. Should we have received a PM by now?
No mass pm's have been sent yet. We are just asking to review the list in the opening post.
Yea, definite some mistakes in the specs listed.
Just remembered that I’m in the list for this one too, I have to drop out. I’m number 24 on the list.
Some corrections below. They should also list and show the tripod mount, and the anodizing of HA II should be listed. The lumens/throw is based on my readings, but slightly lower in lumens. I believe djozz measured lower than mine, just can't find his post of the numbers. Best to stay conservative, on the low side, but their listing is way too low - under spec'ing significantly isn't good either, in my opinion.

If possible, I would like to change one of my 2 units (1114 and 1129) to number 24 that has left empty thijsco, thank you.
I would change the listing to show that it can take protected or unprotected button tops.
I’d also change the clicky switch to either Electronic or E-Switch.
Maybe clarify it’s XPL HD.
On lumens, you could add a + after the spec showing that it’s capable of more than the rated output.
Updated post #10649 
For lumens, ideally I'd use djozz's measured #'s on 30Q BT cells, since the 30Q's have been the most popular - recommended, low cost, commonly available, good performance, good capacity. The next best overall cell is the PANA/SANYO GA BT, but less common, more $$$ - highest capacity and decent performance. I have to check my notes if I measured the round 3 proto, but of course, the springs and the MCPCB changed since round 3, but if anything, performance went up from those changes.
With some 1600 units spoken for, y’all DO realize what a nightmare it would create if everyone wanted to start switching place numbers at the last minute, right? There are no serial numbers, one’s spot on the list is non-crucial. It is what it is, you joined when you joined, it would be best to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Miller, I wish you the best of luck on a smooth run from here on out… something tells me you’re gonna need it!
And they can add a line with stainless steel bezel.
