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

How about a triple Q8 threat with one of these:

You wouldn’t have to worry about trees in your way, on turbo, it’ll simply turn them to ashes.

I guess you already know that after double click to turbo you can click to OFF and the next click brings up your old brightness level?

Right now I don’t know if Toykeeper has a RampinglOS version for the Q8.

I wrote RampingIOS, so definitely will work on a Q8. Both support FET+1 fine.

I figured that out eventually, but the sudden darkness of being off for a second is a bit annoying.

That is great to hear. It will add a nice refinement to things. I don’t even use strobes, I just learned them for the videos. :wink:

My two Q8 arrived yesterday. It's all perfect and I'm happy. Wonderful lamps with great UI.
Once again, I would like to thank all the organizational and technical Employe.

Best regards, Hardware

I got one on Friday and one on Saturday. Both are 2nd batch. Boxes were a bit bent up, having been mailed in a unpadded bag.

Lights were in good order.

As for imperfections, they were insignificant but identical between the two lights.

  • Faint machining marks on bezel, as reported earlier by others. Not noticeable or a problem.
  • Slightly gritty thread action. Fully fixed by wiping down and re-lubing.
  • Dry O-rings. Fixed with Nyogel.
  • One super tiny nick inside of battery tube on head end. Result of construction process, no actual problem.
  • One super tiny dot of HA missing on tail. Nitpicking; no real problem.

Emitter centering on both was great. I gave both lights a run on Turbo/Max down to almost dead batteries. I let one of the two sit for 48 hours on standby. No switch Green LED problems.

I did have a heart-dropping moment when I tested one on Maxinitially and got something like 3100 lumens. Then I realized I grabbed the set of 30Qs at 3.4V instead of the fully-charged set of 30Qs I intended. Using fully charged batteries, both tested north of 5100 lumens at 30s on both lights.

Very pleased. Great value. Thanks to those who made it happen! It seems being in 2nd batch was a stroke of luck for me as both lights are without any real flaws.

I’m hoping to post a mini review with x-ray of internals tonight (Aussie time).

I just realized my second one didn’t have a bag with the extra O-rings and switch cover. Hopefully my third one will have that.

Wow just found out mine is in USPS in Stamford CT only 1 state away and it was not suppose to get here until the 22 so fingers crossed it does not go on a cross country trip to visit some watering holes. I still don’t even have my new batteries yet I have some I can try it with but not great ones.I will update when its in my hands. PS was just going to drive the 3hours and break in the Postal Facility tonight but I think I am still wanted in CT for a 145mph ticket I had years ago so I decided against it. LOL

Just to be clear mode memory is disable right?

wOwwwww....!!!

No. It does remember your last used level. But it does not memorize turbo; if you double click to turbo, then off and then back on it remembers whatever non-turbo level was used. I’m not sure if memory can be disabled as I have not explored the user programmable options. Just played with it as it comes in the box.

That’s not quite right. It will memorize turbo if you ramp up to it. It won’t remember turbo if you double click to it.

You can’t disable memory in ramping, because you don’t need to. You have direct access to moonlight or turbo and can ramp from those.

In mode sets, memory can be turned on or off. Default is off.

+1 - true, all good.

Digging a little more, the last remembered level is not save permanently, so if you cycle power by doing a mechanical lockout for example, you lose your last saved level.

Also if you are referring to MODES operation (not ramping), the factory default is no mode memory.

Assorted choices for assorted likes of assorted people. :slight_smile: I do absolutely love the UI as it comes. For me the Q8 has the best out of the box UI of any light I have tried or read about.

cool!

Received my Q8 .
O. K.
Thank you very much (to the whole team).
Tested, All right.

2 Questions: 1st = is there a reward for tips that can lead investigators to your location?

2nd = where exactly are you (gps coordinates is preferred).

:wink: :money_mouth_face:

Oh no pushed back another day!!! Tomorrow it should arrive.

Nice to hear good reports!

JakeDjanitor well it ia close :slight_smile:
