Do they intend to carry the green one, too?
Pre order so no ideas how good the internal charging is?
Credit to cyp1350. From the buyers comment, M8 draws 5A on highest mode, follow by stepdown to 3.5A after 2mins. [To be confirmed after sample arrives.]
Hmm, a screwed-down Noctigon… If that implies that Hank is involved in this light I may be interested, provided the driver is high output direct drive type (edit: as I type, the 5A is added ^ , good enough for me 
)
The UI seems quite complicated and slow… What are mod2 and mod3… 8 clicks!
I don’t understand how this works.
Parasitic drain?.. Tint options?
What’s that brand?
Not my pic.
Why not store has color green?
I think M8 is made by same OEM manufacturer as Hank’s.
UI is quite simple, similar to D4 v2 Ramping UI.
one press ON, one press OFF
press & hold- RAMP
2x press- turbo
3X PRESS- SOS
4X PRESS- TURBO MOMENTARY
6X PRESS- LOCKOUT
8X PRESS- BEACON
I heard that the Noctigon MCPCB is only on the prototype, the stock one is with the regular MCPCB.
Will check with its supplier.

Looks interesting. Thanks for the info.
Coupon no longer works. I pre-ordered one for $32.99. Hope it's ATtiny85 based - sure sounds like Hank's, but in addition has USB charging.
Betta the 5A is only because of FET based output with Hank's springs, etc.
It's either a ripoff or official project of Hank's.
Sample is on the way!
Mine shipped today as well.
Are you able to spot the similarities?
Does anyone have an idea of candela? looks impressive in the pictures.
About 0.72 times of D1s lux value for my 3m test. Not going to supply the measured values as I suspect my readings are on the high side for my GM1020 meter.
Interested
BG's listing says 800 meters, which, doing the math, is 160 kcd. For a 54 mm head diam and true FET driver, I suppose this could be possible.
I got the M8, D1, and D1S all on the way, but may be a little while yet.
From the pic above, though the M8's head is wider, looks like the reflector I.D.'s might be about the same - the M8's bezel setup looks wasteful on reflector width.
As freeme measured, maybe the M8 is not a true FET, or is using thin LED wires and poorer performing springs, or could be just the difference between a XPL vs. a XPL HI. Hank's Emisar lights use the great performing Beryllium copper springs, here: http://intl-outdoor.com/gold-plated-beryllium-copper-spring-5-pcs-p-831.html, shown with djozz's spring test results.
M8 is XPL, D1S is XPL HI.
