I just charged mine for the first time too . They were at 3.85v and the light wasnāt hurting for a charge but I charged them because ā¦
ā February is official charge up all your batteries month ā
I broke out multiple chargers and opened up all the beefy lights and all the multiple battery lights .Tomorrow Iāll open up a bunch of single battery lightsā¦
anyway the first thought i had when opening up the Q8 was ā¦Wow nice job on the threads ā¦Another thing I have to compliment the creators of the blf q8 on is the TINT ā¦ I consider myself very picky and have always ā¦always been unhappy with tints on past BLF lights . This is just more proof that decent tints can be found for these projects if someone actually cares . Thanks again ā¦ what a nice light
I canāt say enough nice things about the amazing User interfaces that members here have produced .
Iām old enough to remember All the torture we endured with hi/ho/sos/strobe next mode mem.
for the newb who wants to argue the need for sosstrobe etc can we have a strobe only mode which makes full use of high discharge batteries and one click/just kills them where they stand ./one less knucklehead on BLF
I agree Boaz, over are the days of flashlights with obvious design flaws, terrible PWM and bad user interfaces, thanks to what happened on BLF over the last years, for the same budget we can have extremely nice lights. I just finished a triple C8 build with a driver (made by Lexel, but MountainElectr. makes similar drivers) that has the same user interface as the Q8 (NarsilM, one version further down the road) and Iām delighted to have that user-friendliness in a smaller light as well I do not think I can go back to the old days of bad mode spacing, PWM and strobe/SOS in the main sequence, anu light that has that will be re-build or simply not bought in the first place.
Ah i would have LOVED if my Q8 came with a candle light mode! thats so neat!
im not a flasher (gulp) so i wouldnt even know where to begin. I know what i would do if i was tho: i would put colored cups on it as diffusers andā¦.wellā¦ā¦look at it? Good enough excuse for me!
Is there any link to order the kit?
I have some complaints from a friend I bought the flashlight, but I can not communicate with him often, and prefer to have a spare set.
Hello guys, i just received mine, ordered @ Banggood 24/01/2018, the light came with 1.0 firmware.
This light is absolutely amazing! A big thumbs up to the team who designed this, it is really impressive for a low budget flashlight.
The Narsil firmware is a bit overwhelming at the beginning, but after some times reading the manual, some diagrams, reviews here and there, you can manage it pretty well and it offer you so much configurations possibilities, and even with the out of the box configuration the light work like a charm, just excellent.
This is my first beer can sized flashlight and i'm really happy with my Blf Q8, so thanks to all the peoples who made this flashlight project a reality.
