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

Switch from MODES to RAMPING
(while holding the lamp goes into strobes, thats normal)
hold for 3.2sec, after two short blinks and one blink, click twice.
The lamp continues to blink out configuration for RAMPING.

Switch from RAMPING to MODES
(you hold for a long time, if you ramp down it’s easier on the eyes)
hold for 8sec, after two short blinks and one blink, click once.
The lamp continues to blink out configuration for MODES.

Basically it’s holding the button till it blinks 2x and 1x and than a double click shuts RAMPING on. A single click shuts it off.

Now you can wait till the lamp is gone through the rest of the config menu. The lamp will blink four times short when finished.
Or
you do a click and hold till the lamp blinks four times.

I have to say that it took me quite a while to get past the fact that the first two blinks just meant that it was in configuration. I thought it meant config section 2.1, 2.2… Couldn’t figure out where I was in the menu until I ignored the first 2.

The 2 blinks were intended to alert you, get your attention, and focus for the blink count that follows.

Mia arrived on Friday, the switch lights up badly, and it only turns on turbo, it does not act, it lights up, but I can not change modes, I’ve cleaned it inside and changed batteries, I do not have as much knowledge as you and I do not make yourself repaired .

in mine I can not configure, why does not actuate the switch, now does not light, turn on turbo when you turn the thread butt

Royo - yours sounds like something is defective with your Q8. If Turbo comes on immediately upon applying power, and the switch does nothing, there is a grounding/short problem or bad soldering, bad chip, something along those lines.

It sounds like you cannot do further trouble-shooting, so I have to leave this up to The Miller, sorry.

Royo, that does not sound good.
Please remove the cells and wait for PM.

Royo, PM send
All, who lives in Spain, is handy and wants to check this Q8 out?
I pay Royo for shipping and would like to see what is wrong. You can keep the Q8 afterwards.

And to add some nice news
All but 4 GAW winners have responded.
PayPal made
Some asked their share to be added to the BLF special fund, thank so much for that, will update the OP in the topic with this at a later time.
Some, amongt which litterally half the team (yes I split my share so then 7 can be halved :wink: ) asked it to be given to Mrs Lumens.

I have her PayPal now (thanks J-Dub74) and wait for the final four to react before sending her the money.
Right now it is $261,50
Heartwarming and so very nice, thanks!

I show this in my video.

I switch from ramping to mode sets at the 4:55-5:15 mark.

I switch from mode sets to ramping at the 8:30-8:45 mark.

My first Q8 to ship cleared Customs on the 7th, shows up now as having arrived at the FedEx facility at 3AM this morning. So it took 3 days to get from Customs to FedEx? Wow, I will expect it to arrive here on March 3rd, 2018. :wink:

It seems mine is on the roundabout route from FedEx. They just delayed expected delivery another day

It’s possible to config the led switch for only work with battery level indicator without blinks for fet and 7135 indicators?

Might as while take the tour - first time in US and all... Been seeing this on others :FACEPALM:

No unfortunately, not now - source code mod to do so. There's sooo many variations, so many requests, etc....

Think so far:

  • don't want it at all
  • want it on all the time, w/blinks or not? Not sure..
  • want it to implement dragon's breath
  • it's too bright, it's not bright enough
  • dunno how to turn it on, don't know how to turn it off
  • really like it blinks the channel it's using - no, get rid of it

:FACEPALM:

Thanks, reading the manual and thought it was not possible but i preferred to ask the masters of this flashlight.

I think a lot of us are in that situation. My light also “shipped” on 9/29. However, there was a major Chinese holiday the first week of October so basically everything came to a standstill. With any luck they will actually have movement this week and be in US customs next week.

The light will have seen more of my country than I have!

Small world! Although mine took a more direct route, when it arrived in Clinton the estimated delivery was pushed back a day as well. It showed it departed smartpost to Aliquippa usps at 4:30AM the morning of the original delivery date but didn’t actually get to usps until around 4:00PM.

Don’t try this at home. Particularly nowadays …
