Good… maybe yours will!! :+1:
Mine was scheduled to be here Tuesday the 28th. But when coming by USPS I usually get it a day early at least.
Once it leaves Birmingham. AL it only has to go 60 miles NE up the Interstate…. so I know I’ll have a package the next day once it leaves B’ham. If all goes as scheduled that is……
I’m right now traveling and only has my tablet with me which I rarely use normally, still getting used to the small text even with reading glasses.
I don’t remember the model number of the diffuser I got for the Q8 and I can look it up when I get home. What I do remember is that it was a Fenix one if that helps.
Mine claims it’s going to be here today, but I’m in the Midwest, and there hasn’t been an update since it got processed in NY on the 22nd. So I don’t think I believe that.
Yeah, you lucked out Newlumen that yours was shipped by FedEx SmartPost. Yours was shipped two weeks after many of ours & your getting it the same day as many of us. :+1:
Of course ours were shipped two weeks earlier by ’Slo Boat from China International Marine Express’. :person_facepalming:
Their ‘Flagship Vessel’ is shown below.

After seeing that pic, I just compared my D1S and GT mini reflector and the D1S reflector is definitely smoother. Also the D1S hotspot is noticeably smaller, so should throw farther. I got 1,330 lumens with the D1S and 1,140 lumens with the GT Mini. Seems Emisar’s quality is better than Lumintop overall.
I just took a piece of paper soaked in alcohol and wiped down the springs on my D1S. There were alot of yellowish corrosive residue on the beryllium springs and battery contacts. The turn on lumen finally came back up from 862 lumens to 1,330 lumens! Now my D1S is brighter than the GT Mini and the hotspot is also noticeably smaller so should throw further than the GT Mini.
Is it bad to leave the battery in contact with beryllium springs? Does that somehow accelerate corrosion?
