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

The Q8 is my first Narsil Driver flashlight, The Narsil firmware is really awesome, I love it! Now I am thinking in changing all the drivers in my other lights to Narsil… :open_mouth:

Oh, drat. Please add me to the list of those with failed button illumination. The assymetrical LEDs I previously cited are now (symmetrically!) dark. No stress, but I would like to be included in whatever is the eventually solution.

Thanks!

The Q8 is the first production light made with narsil so you are not alone. Before, you had to swap in a driver with it. See Lexels 4th driver page about fitting your other lights with narsil.

Hah! I think you’d be providing the majority of lights. I don’t have much at the moment. Kind of going through a minimalistic phase in my life, with the exception of fishing tackle. I can’t seem to stop buying rods and reels. :person_facepalming:

My first of two Q8s arrived today. (First one was < 500. Waited to order the second until >1000 so others could get a chance.)

I put in freshly charged 30Q button tops and played with it for a half hour tonight. Really like this flashlight. Good light. Quality finishing. Nice heft. And the ramping is fun. Thing I hadn't expected was the tint. I had a couple other lights for comparison. There was some haze due to the humidity tonight, which was quite noticeable with the other lights, but not noticeable with the Q8.

The LEDs in my switch are asymmetric (mismatched) but I have not yet seen any problems with flickering of the switch LEDs. I'll leave the switch glowing all night and check it tomorrow. As mentioned by others, the threads need to be cleaned and lubricated, but no big deal.

A big THANK YOU to the Q8 team for all the work bringing this light into being and to Thorfire for making this light.

And a HUGE thank you to The Miller for handling all these questions.

I just came in from a long double fisted walk with my two new Q8’s and my Thrunite TN30vn35. The Thrunite is my favorite popcan light. The Q8 has about the same lumen, lux and tint. And at less than 1/4 the cost and and an amazing UI, I have a new favorite. The Thrunite is a great light, but at $40 the Q8 is the best value out there.

Thanks Q8 team, you designed a great light!

Yep ,Miller is awesome at keeping all of us informed and calm in the face of adversity. Usa needs him as liason in between Trump and Kim Jon.

I’ve been waiting for the Q8 to arrive so I could compare it powered by 4p 30Q with my Chimera (5000k xhp70.2 from rmm and modded srk TA driver from Lexel) powered by 2s4p ncr18650b.

Nil, thank you for pointing out a better tripod-socket attachment. Much appreciated.

Not only the US but the world as one. :slight_smile:
