The only visible imperfection that someone pointed out earlier are some machining marks in the bezel gaps. You really have to look for them.
I now have all three of my Q8ās. Last two are perfect! I quoted the above, as I had not read it previously, but how is this for an insane coincidence:
My first Q8, if you really squint & look has a single machine mark on the bezel āvalleysā. My second Q8 has two faint machining marks and Q8 #3? Three machining marks. This inadvertent barely visible Mark gave me an easy way to distinguish and tell them apart(important as I begin modding them. I have brass screws on order to replace in light 1, wire and new Springs from Mtn Electric to solve the ābumpā disconnect in all three, and 1/4ā D ring attachments for Lanyard use. My gratitude to the entire team for a job well done! Having been involved in projects that are done by volunteers, I think the āTalent poolā for the Q8 has done an incredibly professional job. The minor items that have been reported all seem to result from parts that were different than those originally specified or by changes made that were not approved or expected by the team. And yet I truly believe by the time the next 1500 lights have been delivered , those with issues will be significantly an inconsequential number(to those who have had problems please understand I do not mean to say your issues donāt matter-I am well aware of the disappointment when waiting a long time for a product you spent your hard earned money for and it does not perform as expected), I am saying I think the numbers will be relatively small.
I have participated in a number of BLF designed purchases, but this is my most loved to date. The NarsilM is by far my favorite UI to date( I have an Emisar D1, D4 and D4VN on order as it too uses NarsilM. I would love to give a shout out to each and every person involved, but because I would probably miss someone and inadvertently offend them instead I say āThank Youā for a job well done. To The Miller, I do wish to single you out because it takes someone with the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon and then some to work with the team on one hand, the customer base on another and the ability to read thousands of posts and getting all the right info to the right people, soothe the unhappy, accept those who are happy and yet you never complained. And we all still have Giggles and other lights still in the pipelineā¦all of the above could have been said with two words āTHANK YOU!ā
