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

WTF · 2017-05-01T03:33:56.000Z

The Q8 is going to put out lots of light so the reflector/diffuser doesn’t need to be perfect. You could make something out of tin foil and stuff it in a clear plastic cup.

I wonder if you could cook something in the tin foil before the cup melts.

The_Miller · 2017-05-01T07:27:48.000Z

Hahaha cooking attachment ftw!

Had a talk with DBSAR about his lantern and the Q8. It are two different lights. Did email Barry and DBSAR so they are connected.

With so many options, from big like I showed, small like Tom showed and like free from a plastic cup I don’t see Thorfire make a diffuser nor a need to pursue it.

Been lurking for a while, and I’m still sort of a flashlight noob. Have a couple good lights. Registered because I have to have this one.

Put me on the list, please!

Welcome to BLF
Will update list later
Do you know about li ion cells, there is a link to an important read about safety on my SIG

Ilmatic:

Just created an account to get on the Q8 list. So if possible, please put me on the Q8 list, I’m very interested!

Thanks!

IMO there are two different things mixed up:
A difussor is something like a candle. You have to carry it on the bottom.
A latern is more like this:

Put a plastic bottle around the flashlight is maybe a diffusor but for me it is not a latern…

DiscoJoe · 2017-05-01T13:56:21.000Z

Saw this light, signed up immediately. I’d be very happy to get on the list!

Best wishes

Thanks to those who have ordered these pouches already. I quit replying to each order message individually as it was taking too much time. We are doing our best to make sure each one who requests a 4.5” pouch gets one. If you have any problems just contact us and we will do our best to resolve them and thanks again. Looking forward to getting one of these Flashlights myself

Which category would I post an interest list for a group buy on Samsung 30q button top cells? This would be a GB for US buyers of the Q8 from a US seller, to get a good deal without having to buy from China and all the problems or potential problems that go with that.

The_Miller · 2017-05-01T16:54:38.000Z

Hmm idk but we know you so even commercial seller spot would not be a problem
I’ll link to it in OP when made, thanks!

Your English is fine

Tom or J-Dub74 what you recon?

4*3500= 14000mAh
15 amps = 15000mA
So 14/15 = 56 minutes?

I didn’t realize it but after seeing Dale’s post, it looks like LiionWholesale must have receive more Samsung 30Q button tops. He has them at the GB price of $5.09 until gone. A little over 300 more in stock Here’s the link

longmire · 2017-05-01T18:31:12.000Z

BrianK · 2017-05-01T18:39:05.000Z

That’s a good deal.

Well, didn't do this sort of test. If you are asking how long it can maintain 5,000 lumens minimum on one continuous discharge, room temp or cooling assisted, there's issues... You can enable a timed step down or temp step down, both time and temp can be configured, or disable them both. Lots of options, all directly effecting the discharge.

If you would try to test a continuous discharge on fully charged 30Q's with step down disabled, I'm afraid it will get quite hot by 5 minutes. I'm guessing it will pull about 20A initially, 5A per cell, so in theory if you kept it cool, it would probably last about one hour - cells will draw only bout 3A probably half way down, and drop more in the 2nd half.

I'd also suspect keeping it cool, it would drop below 5,000 lumens in 4-6 minutes, again, guessing here. Just too many possible combos, plus of course, cells would make a difference VTC5A's vs. protected Panasonic 18650A/B's for example.

BrianK:

That’s a good deal.

It sure is a good deal. But the best part of the deal is only having to wait a few days to get them! Ordering from China can be excruciating sometimes, and I’d gladly pay more not to have to.

Muto · 2017-05-01T18:55:38.000Z

Just watched the drop test and the unpacking and demonstration.
Already own plenty of 30Q’s so now I am psyched!

When can we hit the Buy Button ???
Thanks everyone on the team for all you do.
Later,
Keith
