UPDATE: since i received my other two Q8s (second pair came day after the first pair, but got my hands on it only from Monday)
Out of 4:
First came non-lubed, uneven beacon LEDs, beacon LEDs stopped working next morning, has switch contact issue rarely
Second came well lubed, even beacon LEDs, beacon LEDs do work, has very ofter switch contact issue
Third came OK lubed, uneven beacon LEDs, beacon LEDs do work, no switch contact issues yet after 3 days
Fourth came non-lubed, even beacon LEDs, beacon LEDs do work, no switch contact issues yet after 3 days
switch contact issue video (FLASH) → http://tinypic.com/r/2rpqid5/9 you can hear clicks but it won’t turn off at random positions of flashlight
Mr.Poppy: according to previous posts about the light not turning off with a single click, it seems it is a matter of timing: the click must be very short - 1/4s. Can you check if a faster/lighter click makes a difference on those two lights?
as you may see it’s a matter of angle, at some angles it just won’t turn off… and when i rotate the angle just a bit it will turn off, and turn on
This won’t happen on the last 2 flashlights that i got, so I’m sure it’s not timing
I received my BLF Q8 today and at the moment I am very happy with it, wonderful UI, good mechanized and anodized, better tint than expected, and lots of power, here you have a small comparison with some of my flashlights:
From left to right: Convoy C8 HI, Haikelite SC01, Sky Ray King, JinHeng JKK35, Thorfire S70, BLF Q8
My BLF Q8 along with Samsung 30Q batteries arrived today.I went out for my nightly flashlight walk with my Nitecore MT16GT and now my Q8.I am hugely impressed with the Q8.Being able to slide up and down the brightness of the light is cool.It is just light a dimmer switch (only better).
The combination of flood and throw is like none other light I have.The throw is fantastic and it does not heat up like my Astrolux MF 01.It easily out throws the MF but the MF 01 lights the world.
The Q8 is now my light of choice when walking the trails at night because of the combination of flood and throw.
And I can reach BLF again! Yay!
Very hard though 9 of 10 attempts to do anything give me a “site cannot be reached” so slow response today if any.
Nice shots Miguel!
If people do not receive shipping email, relax, we slowly see people say their Q8 is shipped or labels printed, just do the good old “order and forget” there is not a lot of choice if one wants to keep the blood pressure down
