I received my BLF Q8 on Wednesday
After following the checking plan indicated by Lazy-R-us, these are the details found
External inspection
Led out of center
End of hole of tripod screw thread without anodizing
Battery tube
Lots of dirt inside, was cleaned
Head of PCB retaining screws with slight marks, insignificant
Normal tightening
Down the PCB, dirt but no glue
Threads were chased and top of the holes chamfered
Review of springs: one let go when I touched it, chilly welding
Screws and springs will be changed
Head
Batteries contact ring slightly out of center
Head of driver retaining screws with slight marks, insignificant
Normal tightening
Holes were resized with 1/8ā drill bit and contact ring cleaned
Head of MCPCB retaining screw, A picture is worth a thousand words
The screw will be changed and reflector better centered
The flashlight was reassembled, with the spring that let go, to do a primary test with 4 NCR18650GA
Button indicator: led, by the eye, shine the same; from Wednesday night until now there were no problems
Basic tests: no problem
Conclusion: No claims
Final lines
I wait for the new springs that a friend promised me to do a better test
I need a magnifying glass to see the cheat sheet, I will try to enlarge it as proposed by Lazy-R-us
Yes Iāve found that itās near impossible to disable the switch leds when it only blinks once (very tricky timing), much easier to disable when there is two blinks
I find it easy - from OFF, press&hold til the switch LED goes out, release quickly, the do a quick click - works every time for me. Also, it won't effect your previous saved level.
Ohh - first batch of 500 was gone weeks ago, actually in the first few hours of them on sale on Sep 7th. So 2nd batch is all there is now. How many in the 2nd batch have been made? Well, definitely 1500 or 2000 -- this is where I'm confused. Originally it was supposed to be 2000 pieces total, but they eluded to a 2nd batch of 2,000 following the first 500 piece batch, so did they mean 2,000 more or 2,000 total? I dunno - lost in translation...
If it was 2,000 total, we are under 100 remaining. If 2,500 total, then there's a lot of stock remaining.
Edit: I confirmed coupon codes are still good! But think'n not for long. Think this is an oversight, or grace period.
The saga continuesā¦ Today (Monday) is a holiday and the post office is closedā¦ :person_facepalming: This is kinda frustrating/nerve wrackingā¦ I guess it is what it isā¦ Keep posting pics people! I need some satiation.
Crapā¦. I forgot it was a Holiday for the USPSā¦ THAT is why my mail man has not run. Thanks for the reminder.
Sorry to hear your saga goes on. Was hoping the āhonest neighborā thing was gonna work in your favor.
Good luck & hopefully tomorrow will bring you some Q8 joy.
