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

Barry asked when to stop the groupbuy this morning (for me) AMD I replied when they want since all have had the chance to get it by now
So don’t expect it to continue for all that long.

Did anyone get the latest pre sale number?

On 8th October 23:00 UTC+2 time there were 1877 pre orders. I think it went up to around 1882 some hours later, not sure.

thanks!

PM send to the Q8 GAW winners.
Some of the team decided to donate their share to Mrs Lumens or the BLF special fund.
Some of the helper BLFers did the same
Will update the figures (so how much goes to Mrs Lumens and BLF fund at a later time.
It is really awesome how this is handled, thanks! Heartwarming!

Thanks. Tricky timing but much better than the 2% success I was having when trying to switch it off during the blink which worked nearly 100% with two blinks.

My tracking looks just like Rob_K’s, one in Los Angeles having cleared customs and the other two in Hong Kong waiting for a ride.

Congratulations to the GAW winners!

Don’t anyone in the States expect a package today as it’s a government holiday. Happy Columbus Day!

Picked up mine today at the post office and went through the checklist as thoroughly as I wanted.
LED’s very well centered.
No rough spots outside, only a single tiny ding on the anodizing near the button (nitpicking).
Indicator light works for now at least.
All I did was some light sanding of the battery tube edges to prevent battery wrapper damage and of course some Nyogel for the threads and o-rings.

Overall, a quality specimen so far, zero complaints. Thanks everyone involved for making this happen!

This is such an awesome group. Congrats all!

I gues sb. had answered already, but it blinks out 1.0
Which is the newest NarsilM version.

/\ It is indeed a mystery…… :smiley:

Received mine yesterday (second batch), thanks guys!

With the green switch led though, I have noticed that this does not illuminate if ramp down was the last action before turn off. Is this by design?

Hi everybody,i just got my Q8 and playing around,it is in 1 mode Turbo and cannot get back to original modes; my unit is one of the first 500 batch,tried factory reset……but no way

Let me suggest one trick for clicking the right number of times fast enough:

Put both thumbs on the button, or rather one thumb on the button and the other thumb on the first thumb.

When you brain tells your thumbs to push together, you get a faster and more reliable click.

Tried and tested.

There’s a way out of that “turbo only” mode because that’s one of the optional settings.
I’ve already forgotten what they call it.

It is real easy to get click happy or a little bit twitchy and stumble off the edge of the known world.

In fact, my problem is not the click but the way is working the UI,just cannot get It, right now is 2 modes, one low and one turbo no strobe at all

_” PMs send to those with issues, please check.
If I have not missed anybody all with issues should have gotten a PM, if not, let me know. I am collecting the information so we can make haste with the solution(s)….“_

Not sure if to count myself as having issues yet, but would like to be on the issues list just in case, this is what I reported…

“have to report that both my switch leds have randomly decreased in intensity to about half as bright as when I first received it, and sometimes they go back to the original full brightness for a few seconds then return to this lower level, I like the lower brightness level that it has now, looks more acceptable for a switch now, but I’m wondering if they will fail later on…”

Thanks!
