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. 
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 …
So my 3rd one came today ordered on the 27th of sept. They changed the screws for a 3rd time it seems. And The anodisation isnt great
Clearly what we need is a Siri voice interface for the firmware …
I live. In CT. Won’t be here until sat.
Im just surprised it has had so many stops. I am in the north east USA
funny that “smartpost”
Ah, I live about 10 minutes from that location, which was why I had hoped it would be in the USPS’s hands that day but it took 12 hours from “Departed from smartpost” to the arrival at the USPS.
mine arrived today, looking good. Didn’t do the full check yet (I’m not at home) but the tail cap and driver screws look good, no chipping of the anodizing at first glance, LEDs look nicely centered and indicator LEDs have equal brightness. Ramping is cool!! Ordered a 2nd one straight away, so I have another one to mess around with. Thanks Q8-team :+1:
Now where is lexels thread… I’m hearing good things about TK’s Anduril,
Tracked mine 10/9 and said it would be here 10/12! Opened the mailbox today and there it was, yeah!!
Still waiting for the batteries, but the light looks perfect out of the box. Threads are lubed, leds are centered nicely.
Didnt think about this until I read TomEs question to Kawiboy;
My Q8 has new springs, the light stays on when I bump it (pretty hard) against my hand. Looks like TF is stepping up their game, well on my specimen at least 
. Unfortunately KawiBoy wasn’t that lucky with his 2nd batch light 
I was shocked to received my first q8 today since it was in la according to tracking information. It is a second batch model and it is perfect. There isn’t a single ding or bare spot in the anodization on the entire flashlight. The indicator leds are equally illuminated even though I will disable them. The main leds are perfectly centered and I can’t see a single speck of dust on any of the reflectors. The screws are obviously the new ones and they haven’t got a single mark on them. It is the cleanest and best finish of any light I have purchased, cleaner than the D4’s I have purchased. The tint is truly excellent, i still don’t know why I have purchased so many lights in the past with cool white tint, this neutral tint is way better to look at. I’m not going to modify anything on this one. I have another light on the way in China, i may modify it but this one is pristine and I am not risking messing it up with my ham handed soldering technique. Thanks Blf team and thorfire, I hope the rest of these lights are as good as this one. There will be a lot of happy customers.
