No I thought we got a price of $39.99 or so, I paid 49.99 + sales tax. $56.26 total.
Can’t find the transaction via my Amazon account, but I can find the transaction by my AMEX statement.
Am I wrong, was the BLF price $39.99 or $49.99 ?
Assuming you put in their code before Sept 22, it should be 39.94.
49.xx was the price without the discount code.
The group buy was at $39.99, we got a code to use on Amazon to bring the price down. If ordering from AliExpress we were to put a note in the check-out page listing that we are a BLF member and our member name, wait for them to adjust the price, then finalize the order.
Edit: I think we bought up the available lights really quickly.
Well I got it wrong, I didn’t get the code until after that and purchased the Q8 on Sept 25th, oh well, I still like the light.
Haha. I can only dream about modding like you do. Right now, the biggest thing I've done is solder a replacement driver in my L6, but this Winter I will be reading many posts and will finally start to build something nice for myself. I have to start small and build on it all.
I saw some Q8s on Ebay for about $40.
I know nothing about the seller.
Edit : I just noticed $10 shipping . Never mind.
It was a PM reply to the code PM. I asked how long it would be good for (I had to wait until my next paycheck…). Was told End of October. The code still works, but the priced jumped by $20. Doh! ah well, can win em all I guess.
Did you use the code ? The code was for $39.95 , regardless of what the list price is . Try it, maybe still is $39.95.
I did. Nopers…
Oh well, that sucks. If you are patient, sales will probably crop up. My first Q8 was $46.
I am loving this Sofirn Q8!! I like the tint even better than the BLF Q8.
The fit & finish are about as close to perfect as it can be.
Thanks Sofirn…. Great job!!
Bugger! I paid full price for my BLF Q8 off Amazon AU, AUD$78 when there was discount available to make it AUD$40 
First, it was for the Sofirn Q8 and secondly it was $40 US. The Australian conversion rate would make the price higher than $40 maybe like $56AUD.
$40 AUD is like $29 USD and they have never been that cheap.
I think there are coupons for the BLF Q8 for $46 USD, but not any for the Sofirn Q8 right now. Maybe soon though it will be available with a coupon.
I know it was the Sofirn, I was sympathizing with the experience of paying more when less had been possible.
Yes AUD$40 is like USD$29 and it was that cheap. It was a mistake but orders were filled https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/392606
Is there a decent diffuser available for the Q8?
Yesterday I received my Q8. I love that light and only complain I have is that I can’t unscrew steel bezel and tail cap. While I don’t care about the tail cap, I want to change the LEDs at some point.
Luckily this didn’t stopped me from flashing Anduril firmware on it. This is my first light with Anduril and I really like it. Everything seems to work fine, even switch light. Except battery indicator which isn’t accurate. When I put batteries which currently provide 3.8V and check battery voltage from Q8, the light blinks 4 times for 4.0 volts. Did I messed something when flashed it?
I used ToyKeeper’s hex from 09/30.
I just checked mine and it isnt glued. Just use the bottom of a mouse pad/shoe/carpet. Twist and press at the same time and it will come off easily.
Mine is stock. Battery meter seems to read slightly high also.
Thanks for the reply, I mange to unscrew the bezel :). But wasn’t easy for sure, Maybe I should grease the threads.
