I see the BLF Q8 on Amazon for like $78…
Any code for this available? Heard on Reddit theirs a 30% off code…
Code above (at BG) doesn’t work anymore?
Not sure if the BG code is still good or not, but a decent price and not having to wait a month would make it worth it for me to get from Amazon. Plus I usually get a couple Amazon gift cards around this time of year.
It’s fulfilled by Amazon, so expect to pay sales tax on it. Nudges up the price a bit…
many times you can work around the tax on Amazon for most items.
always check the New & Used OR the Available From Other Seller offers. Tax charges will be listed there, if any.
Often you can still get the same item, same price, with Prime included for no tax.
$0.50 here $2.50 there adds up after a while.
Best part is that Amazon is usually shipping from a warehouse further away. May cost them more and pushes the USPS harder to get it in 2 days. 
For me, pretty much anything’n’everything “fulfilled by Amazon” (henceforth “FBA”) hits me with tax. Probably have a POP in Noo Yuck.
But always always always check alternative sellers. Amazon biases results towards their own, and for, say, 20bux (and tax) for a FBA item, you can find the 2nd/3rd listing as a 3rd party that sells it for 18bux and free shipping, and no tax.
Not always, but it’s definitely worth looking.
Got my 2 yesterday, same only 1 screw but emitters are well centered. No glue at all. Apparently I got the last two since I tried to order 4 and they could only fulfill 2. They work fine on eneloops but if I try energizer lithium primaries they just blink and turn off. Batts show 1.6 V on my multimeter…too much?

Is the Q8 from Amazon a V2 or V3 ?
Thanks,
Mike
you mean newer Narsil?
Who knows, but by the time we get them the deal will be over.
Heed the sage advice of the EMINƎM. He speaks truly.
UhOhhh, not a fan.
Wasn’t intentional.
Got mine, LED’s a bit off-center, didn’t open it up yet… but it’s pretty nice!
The beam’s a bit ringy (very very fine rings, not too objectionable) and fried-eggy, strong yellowish corona around the hotspot, but shouldn’t bug me unless I go white-wall hunting. A bit on the cool side, but no trace of green that I can see. Woohoo!
Got a lanyard and some O-rings, the holster/sleeve/whatever is waaaaay too snug for the light, it fit the light like Kelly Bundy’s dress. Big deal, wasn’t planning on holstering it anyway, so might use it for something else.
15bux? Bargain! Glad I got 2.

Dunno offhand where I mentioned it, here or elsewhere, but I unearthed 2 huge packs of enercells (Rat Shack brand alkaleaks). Amazed. Absolutely amazed! Not a single one is leaking! Had these been Duraleaks, they would’ve been one solid fuzzy block of battery-salts.
So now I got a reason to burn off all these alkies before they maybe do succumb.
That nice AAA Orcatorch? Frozen solid by a f’n alkaleak. Took pliers (light wrapped in a paper-towel) to unscrew it. Whatever battery-ick leaked out also got on the threads like Loctite™ Gotta drill out the damned battery and try to clean it up, as I really liked that Orca.
I knew I shouldda checked first before putting it away.

Damn, I should retire most of my 18650 lights ’til I burn off alla these alkies.
went to a few home depots to try and get those screws, wasted a $1.20 on a pack of 4-40X1/4” machine screws, they looked correct, but threaded area diameter was too wide, pulled the correct screw out of light and tried to scrounge one from old digital camera and old pc, but still no success, put the light back together and will keep searching before I have to order one, but dont waste your time with home depot.
Time is money…save your time…spend the money…
I was the same way…checked electronic’s shop at work, computer store, several hardware stores…
spent way more in time and hassle than the price below…
