Hi was reading that folks were replacing the standard screws out for brass screws and in doing so getting a increase in lumes. Does any one know wee I might get the screws or what size they are .mine is in the post so I can’t check. Oh and also can a little bit of normal multi purpose oil be used on the tread of the torch head or does it have to be speachiel grease? Thanks

Anybody know? Or is this a silly typical newb question…i think I’ve placed it in the correct section

all the info about screws is in the Q8 modding thread

I may have read you only need to replace the tail board screws for a benefit…(four M2.5 x 5 mm)

info for 2nd batch lights:

Ok, so second batch is:
driver: M2.5×4mm *2
tail pcb: M2.5×5mm *4
reflector: M4×10mm *1
mcpcb: M2.5×10mm *2
