I still cannot fathom how they have built what is essentially an entirely new light with the Q8’s performance for just $40 but I’m glad they did :+1: Nominating the Q8 for bargain of the year!

It is pretty amazing when you think about it. We pay $40 . That includes shipping, Banggood making a little, & TF making a little.

If they stick to the retail price they have set or even lower it some… they will do alright on the Q8.

@The Miller

Ah yes let me edit the topic title and begin Op to include:

PLEASE ALL remember it is a pre sale, Mr.Scott and SB have a lot to do.
IF it takes a little longer before we can order at the $40 price just accept it, it won’t make a difference in when you receive the Q8.
Just let them do their thing now and order when the PM is in.
If not in, they are not done so no reason to ask when or why!

You will get the PM when the PM is send and that is when they have done it

Lest anyone needs a reminder……

It isn’t just a matter of the Q8. Thorfire could use it as a starting point for other products. For example, a double length battery tube, xhp emitters, and revisions to the driver and for little additional cost they’d have a rival for some of the high performance torches from their competitors.

I’ve been checking regularly and after seeing the availability date was ready to post the info but you beat me to it.

That is a very good point you make tekwyzrd, I had not even thought of that.

Someone asked about battery life in lockout mode, so I measured. Just like any other mode with the LEDs off, it rests at 5mA for about 6 seconds and then drops down to virtually nothing. Any time the button is pressed, it goes back to 5mA and stays there for 6 seconds until it goes back to sleep.

So, if you were to hold the button nonstop, it should last for about 100 days in lockout mode. But in normal circumstances, it should last for several decades. The parasitic drain is lower than the battery’s self-discharge, so leaving them in the Q8 (with the indicator LED off) isn’t much different than leaving them on a shelf.

….I just want to make sure that with all the hype/interest, that the Q8 is just a flashlight :question: Does it do anything else?

Whats the drain when the button LED is on, approx?

[Ragsy]

How do you measure mental drain or have I just answered my own question?

That’s only displayed on the desktop version of banggood’s site. Unfortunately I can only log in on my phone via the mobile version (which sucks as bad as ebay’s mobile version). Why do vendors think larger images and text and fields of wasted space for small screens is good?
