Got mine today
First of all, a big thank you for the Q8 team that made this all possible, it’s a very nice flashlight, i really like the ramping mode on it, and it has a nice and decent feel to it. And although i only got 2 battery’s at the moment (new one’s are still to arrive), is produces a lot of light
I have been a (very) silent member, i read the most part of the Q8 tread here non the less. I received all the three Q8’s i did order, relating to the problems people have i can report:
- 2 of the flashlights don’t have equal lighting in the switch, the last one is fine
- also the three lights here have a “dirty” copper ring, but we can clean this, no problem
- One light has a very small dent, bearably visible (sorry for the photo quality, don’t have a decent camera available here at the moment)
- One has a small “dent” inside
Here you can also see a little bit of dust other people are talking about, i wiped the top clean with my finger, but there is a lot of dust left. I think i am going to disassemble them to get them clean.
- Although all three got dents in the rear inside part, when the springs are
I don’t really see them as a problem, dents are on the inside, and are not likely to cause any problems. Just to point at some point’s where possible improvement is possible for the future. Although i am very interested to know what is causing the problem with the switch lights. If there is a solution to this problem i would be happy to order a spare part or pcb to replace them, even if it would cost a few dollars. It would also be nice if they would dim a little bit more, they are quite shiny. Maybe i will look into it some more, i replace them myself (soldering a led of resistor is not a real problem for me), only i don’t have the knowledge to see out the parts i need.
This weekend friend of mine will pick up his Q8 i did order for him, i think he is also going to be very happy :laughing:
Thanks again Q8 team! I’m going to try to be more active here (although i live a very busy life), and i will certainly report any problems may they come up
