Recently got to stretch the legs of my Q8’s on hunting trip to Texas. While the weight of these is just too much to justify carrying over long distances, I used them with great success in and around the ranch, and always had one in the 4-wheeler just in case an excuse came up to use them. The ability to effectively light up several acres at once was great for critter-searching on the quick.
Now a couple of my buddies want one. I told them I only paid $40, but I see BG and AliEx have them for $60… is this the going rate now that the group buy is over?
Q8 $45-$50 with discount
Lii500 $18-$23
4x30Q $16-$22
All together $79-$95 depending on what discounts you manage to grab, Black Friday is just around the corner.
Biggest potential saving on that ($10) would be opting for a ±$7 on discount Lii non-LCD 4 bay charger (I got one for $5 recently), half speed and no analysis. If you are lucky with discounts you would come in just under $70.
Worth the extra for a Lii500 though.
Great News! ! BLF Q8 flashlight will be available on amazon USA soon. If you would like to order more, we have limited quantity promo codes(49% off)and the price would be the same as Group Buy: $40.
And If it is convenient for you, could you please spare a few minutes and help to share an honest review of BLF Q8 light on amazon? Here is the product link.

Oh boy, phone issues and real things needed doing, to beat at night, and it all looked so peaceful (phone not getting emails, only some “update” marked things, so I did get some mails, and thought it was really not busy and was glad with that, have to do things before the real frost sets.
BUT seeing a lot of activity here, heck a new topic 312+ post about GT logo, and 416+ new posts in the GT topic, oh oh.
Here it seems better.
One things that popped out
This says a great deal about how dedicated you have been, The Miller. It’s impressive and very worthy of praise. You have gone the extra mile and continue to do so. Really. It’s rare in this day and age to see someone dedicated and helpful like you are. Your karma bank must be pretty dang full! So many people try to get by with the bare minimum but that’s not you at all. Thank you.
Has anyone found a heat conducting material that also lubricates for the threads between the head and cylinder? It could get a bit more heat out of the hot part.
I thought of heat sink transfer goo. But nothing that says it won’t dry out or turn liquid. Drying out could be a bad thing. Liquid metal bad on the not drying out side.
Copper Grease/Copper Ease/Copper Slip would have good thermal conduction I would expect, not sure of its viscosity at high temperatures but its commonly used on the back of brake pads to dampen vibration and does not seem to melt and run out, so expect it to be OK at Q8 head temps?
I think all the same arguments that applied to the pages of electrical grease discussion pretty much apply to thermal grease but even more (more because for thin layers thermal connection is affected far less than electrical), and the conclusion then was, just get a good thin grease.
If we are looking for an aftermarket tail cover, I’d like to see one with enough room inside for a charging board. I’m fine with taking the tail cover off to plug in a USB cable. Some minor mods to the tail PCB and a TP4056 board and we would be well on our way to onboard charging.
Better make a tail cover that supports magnetic charging instead, that would make charging much easier since there will be no need to unscrew the cover to plug it in.
