We are seeing things very differently. I don’t think I posted anything questionable. Nor did anyone correct me. Perhaps they didn’t understand my original point? I have no emotions about it one way or the other.
I’m sorry if you felt personally attacked. I try to share data, not get personal with anyone. I will try to communicate my thoughts better. Thanks.
I only know the Nitefox UT20 and Sofirn SP32A which are FC-tail + side.
Zanflare F1 and similar are all RC tails.
The SP32A is side E-switch only. You mean SP31.
BTW Sofirn came up with the SP32A 2.0 version with temperature regulated modes and also 3 minute turbo timer. Revised firmware and battery level indicator in the side switch. And it has two new color option.
Today they sent me a sample for test and make a review.
It’s a moot point (unless you plan to swap drivers).
It’s probably Sofirns existing C8 tail cap which I think is reverse clicky.
Doh! Yeah, that’s it. But then I don’t think that’s FC.
Maybe the TK18? Something new I got very recently…
Think if I ever have kids, I’ll just name them George, George, George, and George. Less confusion that way…
Insanely fresh info about tailcap switch:
Just read my message from Sofirn 
The tail switch will be forward clicky. If the light is on, you can press and hold the side switch to stand-by mode or click the tail switch to cut off. If you need lockout, press tail switch.
Sweet! I once suggested to Sofirn to consider clear anodizing / silver versions. I wonder if that had any influence on this light. Looking forward to your review!
I agree that a dual switch is quite the pain in the ass. I mean for just around the house or garden type work I know them to be just fine. For my pocket light I prefer a forward tail clicky. Three modes, with memory, and I am a happy camper. I know I will probably be hung up and shot but that’s okay. I just prefer it that way. I still have tons of different lights and use them often but, when I head out with only one flashlight on me. It’s a 3 mode froward tail clicky with no blinky’s in my way.
Shine on my friends. BTW, I love the C8F and am looking forward to the new one. Side switch, tail switch, or dual switch, I could care less. Sofirn knocked it out of the park when they came up with this light and I will buy as many as the wife will allow when the new one comes out. As long as it’s not 3000k with some abstract emitter at 98.35478CRI.
I ordered the SP32A v2 earlier. I debated whether to order another C8F host with it. I decided against it to wait for the 21700 version. It sounds like it will be a bit of a wait, still.
Zozzv6. Any word on whether they’ll be using the same reflector, or at least the same emitter spacing?
Is the V2 ready for order now? I checked last week and it wasn’t listed yet. I shall check again.
Yes you can order now SP32A 2.0.
It is available since yesterday.
Sofirn is bot an old vrand so they are not a very big factory. Please be patient. Just see a BLF project. It will be happen faster 
No word on emitter spacing but I will ask. I think it is the same.
SP32A 2.0 without lock-out? Hmm…
Same as current version, right?
Yes. So tailcap switch is only a lockout.
Maybe just missing from description but just asked it to make sure.
I can not wait to see when the new C8 Host will be on sale
I’ll take two or three hosts at once
One host will go under NOCTIGON 4XP 33MM and LH351D
Already ordered a dozen LH351D 4000k 90CRI
Also on the road NOCTIGON 4XP 33MM 4P QUAD LED COPPER MCPCB and LEDIL ANGIE-S QUAD LED OPTIC
Wait for LED4Power to come out with his 6 led board with Anna6 optic. I want to see what you do with that
I’m not in a rush. I know it will be done when its done. I’m just figuring out what to do in the meantime. I have four hosts, along with 4-5 lights I bought to mod (along with a Q8 on the way), and a few existing mods I want to revise — I have plenty of other things to do :). I think the first step is assembling some drivers to use :).
I’m guessing the emitter spacing will be the same, too. It looks to me like they’ve used the same reflector in one of their dive lights, and I’m guessing they’d also want to use an existing part for this update, unless there was a really good version not to.
Hey guys, Sofirn is working on both a new light in the style of the L6/S70s as well as a new UI.
If you have suggestions on the UI or want to voice your opinion on what is currently suggested, check out this thread.
