Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

Sorry to hear that Ken…. :frowning: … Good luck and keep us updated. :+1:

Guys over at r/flashlight convinced me, add me for one! Thanks!

Welcome to BLF!, will do!

I guess I should also be on the list for one - I’m sure it will be ripe for a good mod :beer:

I’d love to see that. :slight_smile:

Started a thread on the UltraFire new generation SRK's, the ones with the digital display, here: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/45280. Just got one in and posted some comments, pictures, and some details.

Interesting, was hoping for better...

It seems like further evidence proving the must have status of this Q8, and I don’t even know the price of the Ultrafire.

Please add 2 more for me, for a total of 4.

That might not be enough. Two will be for home, one for the jeep, another for work. I’m not sure when it happened, but I turned into a big fan of the soda can format. It offers long battery life, high current, okay thermal, and tail stands very well. That last one may be why I grab it more than anything else when I’m at home.

Oopsie! Added price and link to the OP in that thread. $38 shipped to US from here: http://www.ultrafire.com - U-6L2.

Thanks. So it shows further what an incredible deal on a great light you guys have been working on for everyone.

Sign me up for one, please!

Woot! Reminds me of Mortal Kombat.

Hear hear!

Welcome to BLF!
Will update the list later

Please sign me up for one!

Hi Tom E / The Miller,

If I was to purchase 4 batteries in preparation for the Q8, which would you recommend? Would those same 4 batteries work well in something like a Meteor M43? Thanks for your input!

Lots of batteries are plenty good enough. Tom E has been doing the testing. If you look back a couple pages, you can find his comparison of several top batteries. But, it has been said that we should wait to get batteries closer to the time when the Q8 will be released, in case we can get someone to give us a sale/discount at that time.

Add me to the list for one.

Welcome to BLF!

The M43 calls for good quality high drain cells, just the sort that gives the Q8 the highest output!

Just fyi on a little Q8 nostalgia. This is where it all started:

by The Miller with some consensus and support from other BLFers: jhalb, Hoop, Abqjohnny, xjsnake, DavidEF, and Kusie.

Thanks for the link Tom, I see I’m totally absent in that discussion :smiley: , because I never liked the SRK (because of its gold :confounded: colour and the 3 leds not efficently filling up a round head). How did I end up in the team? :person_facepalming:
