Thank you for the review, very useful and gives me confidence to purchase the light in the future. Seems like one of the best products Thorfire and BLF have created. (not naming anyone because there were so many who worked extremely hard to get this finalized. Big thanks to everyone involved!)
I use a fiberglass cleaning pencil for this kind of cleaning with very good and fast results.
Nice review tks would be nice if anyone can compare beamshot with Noctigon Meteor M43. Looks almost the same am guesing 
Great detailed review, Lexel. Very descriptive with good photos, and plenty of them! :+1: Are you gonna bake your Q8? 
I know myflashguy has seen these by now, but I’ll post them here in case others haven’t.
This is the Q8 compared to the Noctigon Meteor M43 with 219C emitters:
See details and more beamshots with other flooders in my post in the main Q8 thread.
I can’t wait for my Q8 to show up, I hand-me-downed my klarus g20 to my girlfriend so we can both have high lumen dog walking lights.
I re-ordered one today after I canceled my original 1st batch order because of all the issues like stripped screws and the switch LED’s messing up, etc. This is based on a friend of mine who got his from the second batch recently telling me his is perfect in every way. I also read others having the same experience. I’m really looking forward to it.
Nice Glenn! I got in my 1st of the 2nd batch and I agree, and posted bout it - wayyy better.
Here's my post with details on the batch 2 changes: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/39069/15384
The bottom line is with all the tweaks and much better quality of assembly, the improved #'s from the light box don't lie.
Strange if you did not get yours shipped from first 500, you should have automatically got one of the 2. batch, no need to cancel order
I had no idea I was going to get one from the second batch. I didn’t want to take any chances I’d get one from the flawed first batch. I’m sure you understand.
Thanks Tom, I’ll check that thread out now 
The first batches lights were all taken within less than 2 days, whoever ordered after that will get for sure one from 2. batch
My Q8 came in while I was out of town. Been playing around with it, running reclaimed Sony 18650s. Even with these cheap cells, output is very impressive. Very happy with this purchase. Thanks Q8 team!!
A user on r/flashlight sent me this - before I do any mods to my Q8, are there risks I need to be aware of? I’m searching for some threads about how to do the bypass mod you mentioned.
Interesting… still waiting for my button-top 30Qs (only got flat-tops except for a couple of protected panny-Bs), wanted to check out the light and be amazed, so just for s&g, I tried some flat-top VTC6es, and it worked!
Might not be making as solid contact as would be Strongly Preferred, but it did work.
Would be ironic if I’d polish up the contact-ring and it’d no longer work, that it was the rough spots that were making contact.
Anyhoo, just thought I’d mention it…
I found they work also, butt you might want to tap the bottom on the heel of your hand to see how easily the stock springs compress and lose contact, shutting off the light.
Yep, did. Thought LVP kicked in.
I wouldn’t use ’em in practice, if only because contact would be spotty at best, only making contact through raised rough patches on the ring, and/or compressing the shrink-tubing ’til the ring hits metal.
I just did it to play with it, test it, check out the ramping, etc. Damn it’s a bright light…
Me likey.
Actually, I found no signs of compression on the shrink-wrap and ran them for a good while and all 4 were basically 3.4xV showing good contact. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them as long as you are aware of the bump-in-the-night thing.
I got the button-tops on the way, so…
Yeah, I have button top 30Qs in mine now, and protected GAs in my wife’s Q8.
The VTC6’s are my goto for our D4s.
