New Sofirn K6 – [NO LONGER ACTIVE]

After these questions:

and this answer:

I guess there may not be much to add in the suggestion list! Or should I put it up?

I am also inclined to agree with this, despite there is no feedack - yet - from Sofirn’s engineer:

Suggestions - non discussion - added! :wink:

I think you can send it and then they will choose the ideas what they like.

You’re right!! I’m here to compile information not to choose the suggestions :person_facepalming:
Lazy-R-us question added! :wink:

We’ve seen a picture of the SRK, but here’s some things if you’ll be doing machining. One thing to note is that saving weight is not a good thing with this type of light. If material is machined away, it must serve a purpose. Grooving fins for heat sinking is good. Machining the LED shelf thinner is bad, very bad. I’ll just say it, leave lots of material under the LED.

Also, a threaded tripod hole would be good, and even better if the center of balance when fully loaded is at the tripod hole. This would be good for cyclists that want LOTS of light. Most lights aren’t balanced, and they tilt up and down with every bounce.

Comments added :wink:

UPDATE : 4th January

After talking to Cissy from Sofirn (@ AliExpress) I was informed that the discussion will roll until the next weekend (7th January). After that, their engineers will pick the suggestions from the thread and will work on Sofirn’s new model.

About the testing, I asked Cissy if they will make a “pre-production” for tests or just a final version. I will be waiting her answer and will post it here then!

The discussion may still keep going on after 7th January, but the post #2 will stop being updated after that day! Post #3 may be updated if there is any information from the manufacturer regarding the flashlight’s building!
I hope you understand this decision :+1:
Thanks for participating on this :wink:

Great. I just got my SP32A and the C8F host to try from them.

Nice :sunglasses: I’be been using the SP32A with some “mods” and it is nice!! I use it mostly in the modes, not ramping, but is still nice!
Hope you enjoy yours :wink:

Hi there people!
In the sequence of this post (#107) and the given information, I will “suspend” the updates to posts #2 and #3 .

I know that the 7th January isn’t over yet in some parts of the world, but GMT is my time zone (its 0h00 already) and I will also sleep, so I’ll stop updating the posts from now on!

The discussion about the “Sofirn K6” can continue, of course, and I’ll ask Tracy and Cissy from Sofirn to keep on checking it, in case new information is given by BLF community! :+1:

Other than that, thanks for all the excellent suggestions given so far :wink:

If, or when, answers or details are given by Sofirn about this light or about the questions above, I’ll post them here!

My best regards to all and have a nice week :sunglasses:

Any news on this one?

So far, and top what I can say, no?
Before Chinese New Year I contacted Tracy about it and this is what she said:

I intend to get back on this subject soon. I saw that Sofirn is releasing some new things, so let’s see if they got this K6 model on the line as well :wink:

If I get any “relevant” news, I’ll post them here :wink:

Reserved

Reserved? Ok.

Wow can’t to see what becomes of this light. I wish they offer a 3xXHP70.2 4000k 80CRI. The tint on that emitter is beautiful. If they go with XPL2, I hope they offer 4000k 80CRI option too. The 90CRI is way too green.

Hum, is this reserved for any particular reason? :wink:
Please note that this is not a group buy as mentioned in the thread title :wink:

I am really curious as well :wink:
Given the suggestions presented and Sofirn’s approach on this, I’m definitely curious! A good tint and a nice UI will probably make this light a nice one :wink:

HAHAHA :smiley: reserved as in following, w.e term you guys wanna use. I know its not a group buy, but I wanna follow the progress of the K6 if it is still going. Have a couple of Sofirn lights right now and they seem to be at the top in terms of value in my opinion.

Eheh, nice :wink:

BTW, I sent a message to Tracy some minutes ago, so I will wait for her reply to post anything new (if it happens to be anything new) :+1:

I hope the K6 (also) becomes great light :sunglasses:

So, I sent PM to Tracy about the state of the K6, and here are the news:

So…let’s wait a little bit more on this :wink:

Interested in working / translating on a manual

Hi joechina!

As far as I perceived, this project will no longer take place. Or, if it does, it will be under other circumstances!
Please read here:

My last contact was on 28th April, asking Tracy about this project. She replied on the 2nd May saying

They were having some troubles about the driver. I was always waiting for some news. After that…it’s what JasonWW’s post says!

Thanks for your interest, though!! :+1:
