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

[spinynorman]

I need someplace to keep my “spare” 30Qs so another Q8 would be a perfectly sensible option, Right? I mean, just cause I haven’t received my first one yet is that any reason.

Those who think they don’t get as much output as expected can also make sure the battery tube is tightly threaded into the head so that it makes better contact with the driver ground ring.

Making sure the tube end is clean and having it tight is something to check on any light that relies this current path - not just the Q8.

> make sure the battery tube is tightly threaded into the head

But first make sure the bare metal end of the battery tube is clean and flat.

If you have a little ding or flange of metal sticking up, that’s the only surface area that will make contact with the ground ring, and it will gouge the ground ring as it’s tightened.

I had a ding with a raised sharp edge that did that. Cleaned it off by rubbing a piece of hardwood until it smoothed out, didn’t have any fine grain sandpaper handy.

Good buy.
Strong and steady.

@The Miller

@Franz

I’ve got an email few minuts ago, my order was cancelled

So, I checked in orders page and appears for me the status “Order Canceled ” :confounded:

No problem……. :person_facepalming:

Hmm was it just a Q8 or an order with cells as well?
Did you try re order?

Only the Q8, I bought 8x 30Q too, but it shipped in the same day……

I dont tried to reorder because the refund dont came yet :confounded:

My switch LED went out 3-4 days ago and haven’t been working since. It was flickering before it went out completely :cry:

Argh, will add you to list.
Please can you make pics of switch assembly?

Of somebody sees the flicker indicating it might be a switch led issue please shoot a video of it, that is helpful too.

Did you forget to add me to the list?

[patmurris]

1726 preorders right now. That’s almost 99% of the interest list! :+1:

I don’t know how many hours (if any) are left before the GB code expiration.

You can unscrew the driver and use a 3mm drill to open up the holes for the screws to be the same size as the screws so they don’t thread into the driver, but only in the flashlight body, that will make it sit more level.

The battery marks are normal, every light is tested before it goes out of the factory.

EDIT to put link with picture : Q8 modding - #373 by Etex

(wouldn’t fear warranty issue, no one can see ;-))

Yes, and you might see a little bump in output when done
This is very sloppy assembled.

The code isn’t lasting long is it being extended? We had the BLF A6 code lasted for like 6 months.
I want to order mine when it’s ready to ship.
