Am I the only one who is not able to see the imgur pictures? I get a 404 error.
Orange peel, if your light has problems (well, it won’t have problemS as there is just one problem known) you should tell the team either here or via pm. They will have their own list of issues (there is one in the op).
There is no need for ‘us’ to make a list in the forum adding more and more posts to the thread, thus making it harder to find relevant information.
Asking for a list of issues sounded maybe a little rude and didn’t show good intentions.
Edit: I now know you, orange peel, did not ask for the list. I got the posts confused. Sorry
Flashy Mike is may be a good thing you can’t see the pictures, those damages look pretty bad.
Wonder what they did to this poor Q8 
All posts of things people run into are welcome of course
Don’t get me wrong. I will still report issues here to inform everyone (I don’t consider that as complaining) and hopefully able to resolve them. In case it can’t be resolve I’ll just disable the switch (cos i’m not FL modder) to me the main led is the most important component of a good FL even my X80 switch is not lighted ones…haha 
Yeah. Looks like I made it.
Everyone on the Q8 team does want to hear about any problems or issues anyone might be having.
Myflashguy is not on the Q8 team. He is just a regular member like me and was making a joke. I hope this clears things up.
Just to clarify, orange peel did not ask for a list of problems, it was winspiration who asked.
Can see them now on my smartphone, probably some javascript failure on my notebook. Not beautiful, indeed.
Yeah mine shipped out. I was around 601 when i preordered.
… and a couple days ago I found a way to make moon mode run even longer — like 3X to 4X as long.
Basically, underclocking the CPU and using an idle state while at the lowest modes. It doesn’t matter at most brightness levels, but on moon and a few levels above it, it really makes a huge difference.
Underclocking a flashlight, now I have seen everything.
That was over 6000 posts ago… must have been a memorable ship. 
BTW, if you kept in touch, how are Sir Jason’s springs doing on this fine day in Houstington? Still supple and firm, I hope?
On a lexically-related note, I got a Q8 shipping notice today. Happy times!
Read The Miller’s first post on this thread under REAL ISSUES FOUND
If you think dynamic underclocking on a flashlight is bad, you should see its event routing, hardware abstraction, and multitasking systems. 
6000 posts ago. That was last week, right?
Modern flashlights have little computers in them. Cool, huh?
ToyKeeper, what would the Atmel ATTINY85 be equivalent to as far as a time period in computer history?
Surely my old commodore 64 from the mid 80s is more advanced.
Maybe it’s equivalent to 70’s era computers with its tiny storage? It might have higher clock speeds, though. IDK. I’m just guessing.
Edit, I see the tiny 85 can do 10 megahertz and has 512 bytes of sram.
I paid $3500 for the true original IBM PC, DOS 1.0, B&W monitor back in 81 or 82 - could not afford color. Having programmed both, I'd say the Attiny85 is far more advanced. Just fyi... 
Received mine today with Air Parcel Register, Thailand post. Buyed on 7th September and shipped on 8th. Package was OK.
Out of the box, no signs of damage on the flashlight, it’s perfect. Also, reflector is OK.
Leds: 2 out of centre, 2 perfects. Not so good but I think it’s ok.
Threads are lubrificated but o-rings are completely dry.
There was some sandblast in the tube, especially in threads, cleaned all before lubrification.
Screws at PCB are a little stripped but no problem to unscrew them, they were not so tight.
PCB in the tailcap is well centered and the driver in the tube is dirty (black traces) but is flat.
Switch leds are ok, light is uniform but they are a bit misaligned. No problem. Now I’m burning them to test, hope they will not start flickering.
Thanks to all!
From what people are saying, it sounds like the issue is that a single short click must be less than 18 frames (0.288 seconds). If the click is too slow, it will be interpreted as a longer click or hold, and won’t turn the light off.
The threshold here is a somewhat tricky one. Too short and people have difficulty getting it to register a short click. Too long and it makes the entire interface feel slow or cumbersome. And it’s still subject to personal preference and dexterity.
The lights I’ve personally used vary from 0.288 seconds to 0.5 seconds in their short click threshold. Maybe even 0.6. I found the 0.5s ones to be a bit on the long side, and it sounds like 0.288 may be a bit on the short side. So on mine I went with a threshold of 24 frames (0.384 seconds). I don’t know if this is a good value, but I’ve found it pretty usable.
Received mine last night and everything looks great and functions perfectly. Button LED’s work great, narsil is fantastic, no damaged screws, threads are smooth, anodizing feels high quality, machining work is excellent. Unreal that this only cost $40!
Great work to everyone involved in this project!
