Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

nqcken · April 10, 2016, 6:03pm

Me too. Every time I go camping with the Slide in, I get asked where I got the srk and how can they get one!

strango · April 10, 2016, 6:09pm

Why not ask Noel (Fasttech) or Milana (GearBest) where they got all that SRK clones?

The_Miller · April 10, 2016, 6:42pm

Strango, pm send to you

Will update OP later

Thanks for thinking along, some good input received via PM and here!

Yes, my friends and I are fully aware of the GB timeframe.

I was lucky enough to enter several recent GBs toward the end, so I deserve to wait!

I’m currently #11, #12, and #40 on the list. Can you put me on the list twice more?

I now need a total of 5 lights… :laughing:

Pegaso · April 10, 2016, 7:36pm

I’m definitely interested in this one, depending on how it turns out and the final price.

KutKhemist · April 10, 2016, 7:40pm

That price point seems optimistic but doable. I’d be interested in one.

Charga · April 10, 2016, 7:41pm

I’am in for one!!

The_Miller · April 10, 2016, 10:08pm

OP updated, thanks all this interest will certainly help the process get going!

Wieselflinkpro · April 11, 2016, 10:50am

I am in for one.

Direct Drive and 219c would be nice. But becaus of the low Vf it must be limited to a maximum of 6A per Emitter.
XP-L Hi would be nice too.

Thanks!

g_sintornillos · April 11, 2016, 2:12pm

I am interested

Add me for one, depending on price and final design may be more or none

mi_bill · April 11, 2016, 2:31pm

mi bill

The_Miller · April 11, 2016, 6:06pm

Will update later.
Must have tapped the “mark read” button it seemed so quiet all of a sudden here

Oh yeah

I want to go with these names:
Q8 for the Quad led, Quad cell, 18650 Premium SRK BLF Special
Q4 for the Quad led, Quad cell, 14500 baby SRK BLF Special

Angel_Martinez · April 11, 2016, 6:09pm

I am in for one. Add me to the list please.
I must add that I also prefer XPL-Hi…

Kozy · April 11, 2016, 6:17pm

I’m in +1!(i am already on the list #58)
18650 Premium SRK BLF Special+14500 baby SRK BLF Special

THX!

The_Miller · April 11, 2016, 6:28pm

The Q4 is not worked on now, we start with the Q8 and see how it goes.

Legolas_Jr · April 11, 2016, 7:53pm

I’m interested!

goshdogit · April 11, 2016, 8:01pm

I was hoping the smaller version would be the “Sky Ray Queen!”

Chicken_Drumstick · April 11, 2016, 8:11pm

Definitely in for this.

The_Miller · April 11, 2016, 8:21pm

I figured the name Sky Ray King probably is owned by somebody
Q8 and Q4 fit the Thorfire portfolio and the Q actually makes sense.

ToyKeeper · April 11, 2016, 8:29pm

FWIW, when people name things after the cell type, they usually use the third digit (length), not the second (width). The usual convention is:

1/2 = 10180 / 10280
3 = 16340/18350
4 = 10440 / AAA
5 = 14500 / AA
6 = 18650
7 = 26700 / 32700 (26650 / 32650)

These are all in WWxLL.L form, 16mm x 34.0mm, 14mm x 50.0mm, 18mm x 65.0mm, etc. Except of course, many cells are actually a bit bigger due to the wrappers and button tops and protection circuits and such. And the naming scheme leaves out less popular cells like 18500.

The only instance I can think of when a company used ‘Q’ for quad was Zebralight’s never-produced Q50 — (Q)uad 14(5)00 rev (0). But I’m probably forgetting some other models. Here it was next to their SC600.

For the most part, their naming schemes are consistent… ish.

SC = single cell straight form factor / H = headlamp / Q = quad
3/5/6 = cell type, first digit of length
extra 0 (usually) = bigger body with more throw (SC series) or pure mule beam (for H series)
final numeric digit = major revision of that model (usually, unless they added a “Mk II” or something to the end)
F = frosted lens / floody beam
w/c/d/r/b = beam tint (w = warmer, neutral white, c = high CRI warm, d = high CRI daylight, r = red, b = blue)

Anyway, just some examples of what other people are using.
