i’ve said this before to new members asking about what to buy ….buy anything made by BLF members all the BLF lights are great buys. The Q8 will impress anyone .super output and very nice tint …it has only one real flaw …that green button has gotta go .
There are only a handful of lights I've ever reviewed where I had written the review and before I posted "something came up" that caused me to realize I had to scrap my review and start over because I wasn't doing the light justice.
I had a 2 hour "dog search" with the BLF-Q8 in some pretty rough country and it was amazing.
So the BLF-Q8 "Real World Review" is delayed until I am able to whip up prose adequate to the performance of the light.
Oh and as a side note. I know a lot of folks say go unprotected and so forth for max performance, but I have 4 of these EBL 18650 in my light and I've been very happy with how they are playing together.
I do recommend that you commit the batteries to the light as a set though just to keep the use balance equaled out 'cause on high power the light sure does draw on the cells hard.
