Why is one of the Switch LEDs Orange and the other Green?
A minor glitch, suddenly when I woke up it was orange, must be a first production run model.
Oh well I was on the list I thought but have no pm or e-mail so I missed out again every time I end up in the hospital for a few weeks I always miss something. They should have just let me expire it would have made me happier than missing this.
PM send
If code doesn’t work anymore, you contact M4DM4X for his code and I pay the difference between $40 and his price.
First 500 of new Q8 ready.
Production in full swing again.
Confirmed shipping via Banggood warehouse to cope with the coming holiday.
Nice
Wait, so is the indicator light ever supposed to be orange/yellow? Are there supposed to be more colours than just green?

Djozz modded it into another color

OrangePeel:Flashlight B:
- I would estimate brightness is a tad (maybe 20%) dimmer than light “A”, but that might be partially attributed to a slightly yellower tint.
- The screw heads under the tailcap are mildly stripped, though still usable.
- There are two gouges around the switch that have been not so gracefully painted over.
- The fit between tube and head is as good as any light I own.
- Out of the box, the switch light worked normally except for as a locator. However, when I enabled locator through the Advanced Config UI, it began to work perfectly. After that, the short cut worked as expected. Initially, I made not changes to the light. Out of the box, the locator setting was disabled.
I’d really like to see these photos, especially the painted gouges, and my “open image in new tab” trick isn’t working on yours. Could you reshare them somewhere that works, like imgur? Or if nothing else just give us a link directly to your Q8 photo album. I’m pretty sure we can still see the images on photobucket, just not embedded in other sites like this.
emarkd,
I posted the images on Imgur and updated my post: Original Post
hmm, I wonder that happened to that poor second Q8
your first seems indeed done sloppy
not real nice that both yours had clear sloppy details
Well, i finally cracked and ordered my second,
the code still worked a few minutes ago.
Hopefully i can get some batteries now. banggood still dont want to ship batteries to me.

Did I read the headline correctly... Productions is up and running again?

Yep! That’s just a few post up the page:

So when Banggood said ” “Expect ship in:Sep.26,2017 – Oct.08,2017” for my last order they weren’t joking
FWIW, when I ordered my second, predicted shipping date was “Expect ship in:Sep.26,2017 - Oct.08,2017” Fingers crossed.
I am impressed, from stopping the line (what date was that ?) Recognising and investigating the issues, re-designing and manufacturing new switch PCBs including procuring new components, maybe sourcing some new fasteners, reviewing assembly procedures, building the next batch of 500 and getting them over to Banggood to despatch, took how many days ?
yes that old very well be true tomtom
the holiday coming sure pushed things along fast!

yeah sorry, I figured the topic title change would answer your PM
This is very good news.
When will BG start sending out these flashlights?
Thank you

Nobody knows.
If the next 500 lights are ready they will probably start shipping today or in the next days, but that’s just a guess.
We’ll know when people start to report shipping notice emails from BG.
However, there is a big holiday coming in China, so even if it’s shipped, it may well stay put for a while as most of the country will be off work.
I hope I will get a notice from BG
