I wrote them an email with my info but never heard back from them. I followed up with another email tonight so I’ll see if they respond seeing how a lot of people were able to make their purchases.
Recieved mine today, really nice light for the price. I should have bought 1 more but I had just ordered a Sofrin C8 host when the offer came in.
Got mine today. It is a nice light as-is, though the spill has a magenta tint. For $8 its a fantastic host.
I really like the finish. I wonder what it looked like before anodizing. Must have been very dull grey. It feels like unglazed terra-cotta now.
Good to hear eas, hopefully my 2 will be showing up tomorrow or Thursday. Those were hard to pass up for the price.
Friday, if the usps is to be believed.
Had something scheduled for Wednesday, got it yesterday!
Then again, something scheduled for today was still scheduled for today (from today’s email just a coupla hours ago), even though that ain’t happening…
So, we’ll see.
I got a response from Miranda on the 1st, a day after my PM and got my invoice a couple of days later (weekend). I paid via PP on the 5th. Seems pretty fast to me and a great deal. Got two for gifts. Didn’t want to be greedy.
Still waiting for mine. On Saturday it will be two weeks since I paid the invoice.
I was told it would ship on the 2nd it would be here in 5 days. Never did get a tracking number though, oh well. I’m out in a rural area so an extra 1 to 2 days is pretty normal out here. I shall patiently wait. Plus I got my BLF Q8 today, so I got something new to play with.
I’m supposed to get the light in 7 days. If you email them and you don’t hear back, write another follow up email. They usually respond after the second email if they don’t respond to the first email.
Two weeks? Definitely worth being a squeaky wheel.
FWIW, my package had a return address in california.
Unno, I got a tracking number, supposta arrive this Friday. Of course, I’m working from home Friday, so it’ll arrive (at work) when I’m not there. 
’Though with the 2nd round of snowmorrhoids we got, it’ll probably show up Monday, when I am there. So it’ll probably work out.
Well I guess if I don’t see something by Friday I will drop a friendly email.
Think this will make a good candidate for souping up ? Mine is in the pipe line hopefully. Pill or shelf? Good switch?
Shelf. Pretty sure it has an omten switch. I think the driver is 19-20mm. The stock driver has a unshielded toroid inductor on top, so there is some vertical space in the driver pocket, maybe 10-12mm
Mine took 2 or 3 days to get the invoice (weekend), paid it right away and now I wait. I got one of my Q8’s this way so I am pretty sure mine will show up soon or at least get some kind of tracking. Hope they come from the US.
I have a 16.8 mm driver and a 16mm XP-L2 HD MCPCB coming . Think they will fit?
I’m not sure what I was thinking, but it has an aluminum pill, not a shelf. Also, driver is more like 17mm. I think I’m loosing it. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble getting a 16 mcpcb to work, though.
An aluminum pill probably not that great at shedding heat I’m guessing ?
99.9% of mcpcb’s are sitting on aluminum.
Mine just arrived today, yay! Quite nice, I have to say.
Yeah, looks like a 17mm driver, 20mm star, Al pill. Quite nice as-is, even a decent emitter, not too cool.
Got my favorite tailcap, nice recessed button without the cutouts.
All in all, I’m pretty impressed, way moreso considering the price! Shouldda ordered 10… 
Actually, with the big hole in the reflector, just eyeballing it, it might even fit an MT-G2. Didn’t measure it, but…
That’d be nice even with a pair of 18350s, ’though not much runtime.
17mm buck driver, anyone?
