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

I linked you to the schematic in Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light - #14411 by Tom_Tom

You acknowledged that.

For the benefit of others, it’s at Q8 modding - #617 by DEL

Surely you must know that the resistor is on the switch board ? Take a look at your own Q8 ? You do have one ? Anyway enough photos have been posted.

And uhm, will the first 500 (with or without issues) get a replacement switch board or something?

Solutions for issues and those having them will be made clear when it is clear what the issues are, who has them.
A known issue is the switch led stop working, reveals itself the first day.
It will be resolved.

Before asking replacement for something that works on the light (s) one has, one is invited to search the internet for other products one has that have had parts replaced under warranty and contact the manufacturers of those to demand free replacement oarts for them. Please report back on how it goes, should make an excellent time passing awaiting news here :wink:

Sorry for not replying
Wow, thanks for being relaxed about the screw nastiness.
Good to see it is corrected now.
heheh see how I edited your post :smiley:

No, it is not to be expected that the indicator leds fail, despite the list of people having the issues is way too long, a lot more do not have this issue :slight_smile:
Added you to the OP

Tip, use the “search within thread” I have posted beamshots comparing the Q8 proto with TM06S and others, so author The Miller containing beamshots should give a nice result, there are a lot of beamshots in comparison with other lights, just search beamshot.
and on the BLF page left top is a search field, type Q8 review
Or: Let Me Google That

I chuckled :smiley:

If the light is working, people have no reason to demand anything clearly. For observable defects, of course you can expect correction, if it's a functional defect, even a small function. You agree clearly. I do though find it a little uncomfortable and at least someone has expressed the same to me, that it can't be handled through BG. People didn't buy the light from The Miller and there can be at least a couple of reasons I can see why people would just want to deal with GB and not a public forum director of sorts (and it would have avoided some drama), and I think we should expect BG (on behalf of TF) to deal fairly. I get that they never do. I guess that doesn't make it right, which is in no way on you. I get that we're getting a deal for the group buy, but it's a deal TF agreed to, and it helps them in the end, and this error was on their end, and to their credit it slipped through QC because it's not common. That also means it doesn't cost them much to deal with shipping on the what 15 or lights or so with problems and they could push BG to handle it directly and professionally for people who want to handle it directly. I just don't see why that should be an issue.

It’s ok :slight_smile:

I have no reason to stress about one screw. It just gave me a reason to use my tools and to have some fun getting it out.

I used Class 12.9 screw so it’s “unbreakable” now :slight_smile:

If only I could fix it that fast with quick snip :smiley:

Woohoo!
I have seen the light :smiley:
Mine, from the first batch, has finally arrived.

Indicator leds are a bit uneven, but the screws are pretty much ok.
Main leds are a bit off centre, at least two of them.

It’s my first SRK type of light, and it’s awesome.
If Narsil was a woman, I’d marry her :heart_eyes:

:beer: :beer:

Nice more good reports!

Uncomfortable to post if one has an issue to get to a solution?
People can PM me and if they want to not be named openly it will not happen.
Tss, complaints about coming up with a way for people to NOT have to deal with tedious CS and get a good solution after only posting 1 post :person_facepalming:
It seems like a nice thing, but you know what, if you receive a Q8 with issues do contact CS instead of asking me OK? And if it is tedious, slow and doesn’t get you much further ( for you’ll be stuck in lowest level, script following, delaying employee limbo) with all the frustration coming with it, do post about it in great length so the rest can appreciate what I do here :wink:

I am here to receive PMs and find it highly unlikely that people PM you or anybody besides me with complaints how things are handled, it would be useless for you don’t have a role in dealing with issues, Mr T also claimed “people PMming him to complain”
Funny how some seem the need to complain or state they received complaints while it should be clear that the only one to direct these complaints to is me, and I have not received any anf if I would it will be treated with respect for I strive to see 100% of Q8 owners happy.

I have been expressing my admiration for Narsil in the best way I could.
But Pegaso put it into perfect words!!!

Hahaha +1

nice find TheOnlyDoc!

And who wants to check out the prices from the part numbers from GM and DaimlerCrysler?

As they are separated its either Crysler or Daimler I guess

Looks like they already have ads for the Q8!

But I Don't Love Him!

Odd way to put it, the marrying thing. So, everybody can have your wife for $40? After the first 2000 customers her rates go up? Interesting.

I’ve got 8 brand new button top Samsung 30Q’s sitting here doing nothing, I’ve got 4 brand new Sony VTC5A’s, also sitting here doing nothing, and as it happens, I’ve also got 4 brand new LG HE-4’s, so I should have a pretty good set to play with and see what does what, and then I get to join the modding fun. :slight_smile:

I reckon Halloween will bring another nice chance to play with some new toys this year! :smiley:

What can I say. Just love it.
Could sit outside in the dark and just ramp it up and down all night shining on different things.
Now you see it… Now you don´t… Now you see it… Now you don´t… :smiley: :smiley:

But it would probably end with me beeing locked up somewere, and my precious would be taken away from me… :cry:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

That is NOT how Narsil looks in my visions… :stuck_out_tongue:

@joechina
The price is heavy depending on where you live. At my local Ford dealer the 3oz tube cost me ~36€ thats about 42$.
On ebay.de it costs even more. If you live in the US you can get it for ~15$ for 3oz.

LOL

Haha, mine is working perfectly so I won’t need it I hope :wink:
But it would be good to know the parts can be ordered like the a6 tailcaps or something so I can order(pay) for a spare

Here is mine and a beamshot on the yard with 5400 lumens :sunglasses: :
