Patience? What is thing strange thing called “patience” that you speak of? :~
0:)
my keyboard was dead. one three five seven nine and capslock dont work.
i restarted it, but still useless.
Hi Rey what colour will the light be? Black or Grey.
The black looks smaller, or is that just me?
The grey one is not screwed down because he changed the driver.
one week passed, the sample is still processing in custom clearance at the destination country.
it will be grey
Awesome!
I don’t think all caps is a good idea, and I’m going to hazard a guess that most people will agree with me. No need to yell it 
Besides, the specs are locked down already.
This thread has been going on for so long I’ve lost track of how I’m supposed to order one. Is Rey taking orders yet, or are we still waiting? Did I miss a link somewhere?
The review sample is stuck in customs on the way to the, once it has the gold star, ordering info will be posted.
I’m itching to order but having to be patient, people keep posting in here is not helping me at all….
Really? Why not? 
“BLF Edition” is fine with me.
Soon.. Very soon. Maybe in 5-6h ;)

Edit: And yes, "BLF Edition" without caps is better (IMHO)
I wasn’t saying you were yelling, merely that I don’t want the A8 to be yelling EDITION at me. In fact if anything, I’d prefer our custom text to be a little smaller, and the same subdued off-white colour as the official logo, and on the other side of the torch.
However, I’ll be getting one regardless of all that
Is the review done yet? 0:) :bigsmile:
“One last time…these are small but the ones out there are far away”
“Small…far away”
Hope someone gets that. lol
Just when I thought I was cured out comes another BLF light and its 26650. I cannot resist. Take my money now!
Finally got the light. It's gorgeous! More than worth the long wait.
I don't know where to start, but I'll try..
The light came very well packed, as usual when dealing with Rey. Thanks!
Here's the retail package:
..which contains: The light itself, a holster, TR-005 charger, and one TF26650 "5000mAh" protected cell:
The light says: "TrustFire A8 - BLF Edition": (Please ignore the dust spots)
The charger can charge one cell at a time, anything from 16340 to 26650:
It says "1500mA", maybe so in the beginning, but the included 26650 at 3.78V charged at 400-500mA.
The modes are High->Med->Low->LowLow, with perfectly working memory (more than 2s off -> same mode, every time)
Brightness is about 650, 260, 16 & 2 lumens OTF (Tailcap currents 3.85, 1.04, 0.04 & 0.007A with Kingkong ICR at 3.95V and 3.29, 0.90, 0.04 & 0.006 with the included TF cell at 3.92V)
Duty cycles were 100, 30, 2 & 0.3%
Estimated runtimes with a 4000mAh cell are about 1h, 4h, 100h, and 571h
I wouldn't call the lowest mode "firefly" or "moon", but it's very usable "low low" with theoretical runtime of over 23days!
Here's the same in photos (1/100s, F/5, ISO80, WB:Daylight)
The PWM is very high and totally unnoticeable at 2kHz.
What more can I say..
All systems green. Go ahead! Good job Rey & TF!
