When using a shoulder strap I don’t see a problem there. There is a metal connection between that hole and the strap itself.
Or did you mean for handling?
Though I agree it could have a nicer edge.
Edit.
After taking another look that ring looks at that point pretty thing. Could be a weakpoint. However I can’t think of a way to improve it right now.
The shoulder is square but wouldn’t call it sharp by any means. You would have a hard time cutting yourself on it. The weakest point of the hole is the wall thickness, not the width.
With the balance point of the shorty tube up towards the head I’m not sure knurling would be of any great benefit but saying that I haven’t really carried it in anger yet. The longer tube may benefit.
Personally I would not use the light in short form.
I cant get the pictures on the bag to open except for the default one. I have terrible internet connection here at the moment which isn’t helping things.
After another frustrating night with a non existent internet speed.
Tonight we have some night shots. The camera was used with a slower shutter speed than normal so the pictures dont get blown out.
We’ll start with pictures of the tree in the background which is about 120 meters away. No washing on the line this time of the year so no knicker shots this time.
I’ve Posted beam shots of the Q8 before. Not sure where though.
The tint of the GT is cool and its unknown to me what it is. The GT will be getting a warmer tint in the production lights.
I should of mentioned these pictures of the GT were taken with the black mark on the led. This will be looked into today.
Lots of beamshots of the Q8, just check what we posted, it is in the OP
Most of us posted beamshots but it stood out to me here, without even seeing it was our Q8 at first
Can you imagine a nice NW XHP35HI GY beamshot?
Already it is impressive.
Yeah i saw few beamshots but all indoors, and i could probably missed few others too they are all buried somewhere in the thread. Cool to see Q8 outdoor shots like that beat my expectation. ok back to GT.
The Miller, if you look up close at the last pic of MRsDNF of the different reflector sizes, you can see the steps milled on the GT’s reflector outside surface, I bet those are the reason we see rings on the wall beam shots from inside the reflector, I am guessing that maybe they are removing too much material on each pass of the CNC machine…
The most impressive beam shots of a reflector light I have ever seen. Thanks for the trouble Steve. Lumentop along with our BLF designers has stepped to the front of the pack with this one. Step aside Thrunite, Olight, Fenix, Jetbeam, and Acebeam.
