One more question:
The light does give me a lot of fun, but I am missing an hole for fitting a lanyard. What thread is in the whole and is there an after-market solution, e.g. a lanyard-hole to screw in?
The Q8 IS an update to the venerable SRK, BLF members redesigned it for optimization. Interesting that Ifowner states that it looks like an F12 which is a small tube light, the M170 is what his link goes to, which is still a lot different light as a triple and with XM-L outdated emitters and a high price tag. Neat looking light though, might have some potential were it not for that price point…
On my Sofirn Q8 I found a fault. After setting the step down temperature, then turn it on with a long press for ramping it’ll start at max then quickly drop to moonlight and ramp up. It’ll remain like this until I disable thermal step down or change it to timed step down. The temperature setting is causing this
I think this is a known bug that shows up on a few lights. One of my custom drivers has this. It’s best to do one click to turn on, then ramp up. Or cover the end of the light with your hand temporarily if you have to start at moonlight.
