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

@Flomotion

I ordered my Samsung 30Qs, on the 2nd, just got them today the 18th. Yes I got the semi-flat/raised semi-button whatever tops also. I was wondering when they would come, thinking that they were coming from China, but instead mine were sent from City of Industry, California…huh?

Same as these:

Came at 3.0v charging now on XTAR VC2 watching the milliamps march in.

Assume this was a Banggod order. All my BG from China are labeled the same as yours. (Customs location, I think).

I built Ricky’s M6 with 70.2’s and a custom battery tube using a TK61 carrier, his is making 13,558 lumens. Still just 3 emitters.

@DB Custom

Tom, my box read 21500 for 7417.5 lumens, I pulled the 4 LG HE4 cells to charge and double check and one of them is dead, won’t charge in any charger I have. So I found another LG HE4 and loaded all 4 in the M6 and box reads 25,700 for 8866.5 lumens.

Ooops, never mind, Thought you meant SupFire M6, not SupBeam M6. I got no clue what a SupBeam M6 is, how many LED's, etc.

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

Man, me and these meds…. Both my light and Ricky’s are indeed SupFire M6’s. Early models, before Richard started gettting them unbranded. So yes, 3 emitters, 4 18650’s in parallel.

Can someone tell me what size SMD emitters are used on the lighted switch PCB? I couldn’t find this in the specs.

I might want to change the color of mine. :laughing:

I would love for someone to put pink in mine. :innocent:

0402 or 0603 should work.

[Tom_E]

Should be 0603's. I got a couple pinks. Pink in a Skilhunt H15 - actually just used it to take the garbage out .

The Convoy L6 switch can run 0805. Looks about the same as the Q8 switch. The slightly bigger size makes them easier to work with.

Better to stick to smaller sizes?

It’s hard to find a small assortment kit that includes pink. If anyone finds one, please post a link.
Thanks.

Made own smd soldering tool: wrapped some 18 gauge copper wire around the tip, worked out okay. I left one of the leds on the board and it started the intermittent flashing again, but it seems to have stopped now. I haven’t been able to harvest any from any old circuits yet.

[Etex]

Still trying to get a hang of doing beamshots, still coming out darker than what I see.

BLF Q8 @ 4.07v

[JordanZHP]

Got my first Q8, it’s amazing! No green LED issues so far. Thank you so much to the team that worked towards the completion of this project.

Oh boy, I bought a kit with pink back in 2014 or so. Think eBay, but can't find the order.

Just searched ebay for ‘0603 led pink’ and got several pages of results :sunglasses:

Another way to use the tripod socket:

lots of sellers at varied prices for something like this

Or, of course, you could mount it on a “selfie stick” if you want to be the brightest guy in the room …

@Tom E

These work for long time too on Narsil, mods definitely required:

TomE do you have a thread or something written or pics how to mod the Manker U11 to use Narsil? What driver, how to fit …
