As requested …
I show pictures of mine too. 
Thanks
And haha I see the question for pictures may sound like customer support asking for pictures when a product is not arrived 
If you have the tools some pics of the switch assembly could be of great help 
I believe my light is “A” typical. The wizards in production should be able to dissect and resolve the issue with a sample already in hand. I for one am not prepared to open up my semi functional beauty. I will leave that surgery to the pros.
People with not properly functional switch LEDs, can you check if fully charged cells brings the back on?
Couple of Q8 pictures. Little bit bad quality, my cam is only 2MP,
2mp are enough to prove what Q8 is capable of …
Thanks RL !
I installed freshly charged 30Q’s with no change in non functional switch beacon leds.
2nd Q8 has one led brighter in the switch as the other, couldn’t care less to be honest
(that’s with 4 Q30 that are pretty low in charge now)
mp isn't the issue; tiny phone cameras don't have the light collection to take good pics of low light. They get better at faking it with long exposures and software motion compensation, but nothing beats actual lens area. You can't take good photos without enough photons. Still, they are nice shots.
Question for Banggood
Hey The Miller,
I actually bought the light through Aliexpress from Elfeland Outdoor Lighting Store. (Along with me about eleven other people placed an order through this site.)
I just read about the malfuncioning switch-led and the temporary halting of production.
Should I extend the Processing Time on my order on Aliexpress? Mine is at three days right now. If it reaches 0 my order wil automatically be cancelled and refunded.
As the customer I can extend the processing time for as long as I want, so the manufacturer has more time to ship to me.
With how many days should I extend the processing time, I’m not interested in a refund as I’m worried that the price will go up later.
I already bought 4pcs INR18650-30Q from Elfeland and the Liitokala Lii500 charger.
Thanks in advance for answering.
PS: I’m exited for this light, it’s actually my first real high lumen flashlight. Before I have only ever bought two Maglites (gave them to my parents) and a Trunite Ti3.
Greatings,
Gentletaurus
At work you have enough time to write 5 sentences with nothing in it except putting away my IMO justly concern as BS thank you very much, while you could spend 1 sentence on the problems that you had with your flashlight thereby putting my mind at ease concerning your intentions.
… 
Teacher said a non properly solder of a wire. Lucky for us he has not fixed it so we wait for either pictures and if he cannot make the pictures we cannot examine this strange issue, so I will pay for shipping of his to Tom and one of Tom to Teacher.
Gentetaurus I would extend till 10/10 this is after the coming achinese festival so they can send it out if not send before.
Testing now with full 30q, the led no work. In my case no changes.
thanks!
Thank you.
According to flaky tracking # and with the grace of incompetent Danish customs and postal service ( in this case both handled by Danish postal )
Then i might take possession of my Q8 tomorrow 
So i have been busy with my soldering iron on cells and a BEC for my RC hobby that had to get a little attention too.
Funny thing, while solder blobbing the LG cells it was a fair bit slower for my soldering iron to get some heat into the battery for a good solder as opposed to the Sony cells.
For sure my soldering iron was at full tilt when i soldered the LG cells first, so i can only assume there may be a difference in the thickness of that end cap i am soldering on.
Anyways things are good, and i look forward to lighting up Randers where i live, and i have the police station firmly in my sights, cuz they so often flash other people so i think its only fair to return the favor on the 2-3 guys that’s there on the station at night.
So many posts.
Everyone who is not happy - you realise you can just go to a local store and get a Nitecore TMxx for $$$ right if you don’t want to wait? Of course your going to pay 6x as much and have 1/6th of the fun
I can’t believe BLF members don’t have another light to use while they wait? :person_facepalming:
(most who are not in therapy probably ordered another 3 lights since page 439)
Miller - doing a great job there, I hope the referral thing is covering the bar bill for you and the rest of the team.
Its a $40 light from China that’s unique - it’s worth the wait - stopping to check if the switch assembly needs correction was the right idea IMHO - else BangGood is just going to get hit with PayPal claims then the whole thing turns bad for everyone. +1 for Thorfire for maintaining their reputation - they only have to look at Astrolux and the S42 to see how important this is in the long term.
I just hope Santa brings it - and any sooner is bonus :+1:
sparkyDK, that is some fancy charger you got there, wowsers
thanks for the kind words whitecitadel
