Gotta watch those Quakers
(Mormons too) 
Received mine, interesting clover beam spill. Decently bright light, well machined… no qualms about this light, I feel like it’s a good all around light. Using samsung wj1s.
Got mine in today. Very impressed. I don’t normally like cool white, but this has a nice even white beam. I like it better than the BLF Q8.
That's a solid looking beam. Mine comes tomorrow from Aliexpress and your beam shot boosted my hope that I will like it big time.
I like throwers that don’t have pencil beams. That looks nice.
In the mean time, mine hasn’t shipped yet.
Pics are in this thread. Everything is exactly the same as the original Q8, just color is cooler and the hot spot is a bit smaller.
received mine today

Ordered mine a little late..about a day after getting my code and it said restocking sept 27? and shipped by oct 2-3 ? ...anyway it came today sept 25th with no prime /regular shipping .
This light has more throw than the BLF-Q8 but visually it doesn't look like twice as much throw . Cooler white tint outdoors is ok but inside it isn't as nice as the BLF Q8 NW tint . BLF Q8 IMHO is still a nicer light
I guess you just want a hurrah?
Hurrah!
Interested. Amazn US. Thanks
any benefits to switching to brass screws?
No clue… I think rubber switch is pretty responsive…
Welcome to forum. The Group Buy is over. The price is now $50.
I think there are 6 left, but I’m not sure.
I think a couple hundred lumen. Maybe just 100 lumen. Something like that.
Nice, Goin to switch them out now. I can’t wait.
It’s the 4 tail screws that give a benefit. They are button head M2.5 x 5mm.
Bypassing the springs give the most benefit, maybe 300 more lumen. It will be drawing about 20A on good high drain cells.
Actually, just replacing brass screws can yield an increase of 400 lumens on XPL-HDs.
Bypassing springs, or replacing them with copper alloy ones can yield up to a 1200 lumen boost.
However, on an XPL-HI Q8, the lumen output boost will not be as great because of the higher FV of the XPL-HIs.
Where would you buy those screws? Can't find button head brass on Ali.
Really? I didn’t think the increases where that high. I am tempering my expectations. Lol
