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

Is there any link to order the kit?
I have some complaints from a friend I bought the flashlight, but I can not communicate with him often, and prefer to have a spare set.

As The Miller is absent you can ask Banggood:

Please report if you had luck

Request sent to chendongling@banggood.com.
Will report for result.

Hello guys, i just received mine, ordered @ Banggood 24/01/2018, the light came with 1.0 firmware.

This light is absolutely amazing! A big thumbs up to the team who designed this, it is really impressive for a low budget flashlight.

The Narsil firmware is a bit overwhelming at the beginning, but after some times reading the manual, some diagrams, reviews here and there, you can manage it pretty well and it offer you so much configurations possibilities, and even with the out of the box configuration the light work like a charm, just excellent.

This is my first beer can sized flashlight and i'm really happy with my Blf Q8, so thanks to all the peoples who made this flashlight project a reality.

I havent changed the mode, still use it as it came stock. Really like the ramping and the moonlight lumen output is perfect for me.

Same here

Switch leds started to flicker again. Will email banggood.

Read 5 posts above your last one.

Well made, good quality, solid.

The only “drawback” is the additional strap bands on both sides that will be catched by the tailcap of the flashlight depending how much it protrudes from the batteries tube.
The Q8’s tailcap catches them a bit (not a straight/direct pull), the MF01 barely.

I haven’t configured mine either, except by accident. :person_facepalming: You really don’t have to, the default ramping works great.

I have played around with ‘configuring’ mine too. But like cabfrank says… “default ramping works great”.

It sure does too, I have not found anything I like better. Nothing even comes close as far as I personally am concerned. :+1:

have you any experience with MELD firmware?


I was just referring to the ramping on the Q8 saypat as opposed to set levels.

BUT NO… What is MELD?? It sounds interesting. :slight_smile:

Hi Teacher. The above link shows Everett’s latest version of his MELD firmware. It may look a bit confusing :wink: Everett is our resident genius. When I first saw his firmware in a flashlight, I had to have it. So I had him custom build me an Olight S10 Baton with R,G,B,W, and UV emitters. Yes, that’s 5 emitters in that tiny light. And of course his firmware, the greatest UI of all time in my opinion. Hard to use anything else, but I also love Narsil. You can do a search for his MELD in our Forum or click on his name and search his threads. He has made some amazing videos of some of his flashlight builds. He loves TINY stuff. Hope u enjoy the video, it can be a bit confusing. And NO, I Will never sell my custom S10!

Dude, please just a little research sometime when reacting to a seasoned member's post in such a way. There are some folks here, tterev3 being one of the best, that have made huge contributions to this hobby and forum. Just because they are not currently in the pop culture, does not make their contributions any less important.

Who are you talking to ImA4Wheelr ? Me??

What in the world are you talking about man???

Wow…… thank you saypat!! :+1: I was not familiar with that at all. It does look very unique & interesting.
And 5 emitters in that small light sounds amazing!! I am gonna do some more reading about this for sure.

The video is great to, I throughly enjoyed it. Thank you for the link to it & search suggestions for further reading. :slight_smile:

Have a good one & thanks again……

Yeah… ImA4Wheelr’s comments kinda took/take me by surprise?? Maybe he is having a bad day or something. :wink:

All I was saying was that in the Q8 I found the ramping to be preferrable to preset levels. That is a personal opinion of course.

Maybe ImA4Wheelr has a problem with that?? From his response it would seem I had insulted his Grandmother or family linage. :smiley:
I honestly do not know what his comments were about or why. :person_facepalming:

If I had thin skin I might have had to seek a safe space…… but that does not apply. :smiley:

BUT…. I am thankful saypat mentioned the MELD, I had never heard of it. But is sure looks neat.

@ saypat

saypat…. ImA4Wheelr, (it seems??); has implied / accused me of replying to you in some type of insulting or disrespectful manner concerning the MELD Firmware. (I guess)

From your informative reply I do not think you took it that way at all.
BUT… IF you did. My apologies, all I had was a question about what it was; which you graciously answered with much appreciated info. :+1:

Thank you again!!! :slight_smile:

Thanks Joey… I appreciate that. Glad you didn’t “let it go” too. :wink:
