Sofirn C8F host. 21700 C8F Available

Is Sofirn planning to produce the C8F in a color other than black?

Water not ice for me, please. I’ll bring Ardbeg for some tail spring bypass :slight_smile:

Now I’m confused. I thought you said it only ramps up to 1800 lm earlier?

Being spoiled to TK’s immaculate set-up, I have found the Sofirn ramping painful to use. Slow, enough different that it bothers my “purist sensibilities” :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol purist, loyalist, enthusiast, old forgetful man, I meant nothing bad by it! Quite the opposite even

Yeah yeah yeah, I’m a lot of things but I’ll still be a Toys-R-Us kid long after the store is forgotten… lol (even after I’VE forgotten it!)

I’ve been eyeing C8F for some time, so any update is welcome even if it’s not using latest UI.

You can get the 18650 version with the old UI or wait for the new 21700 version which should have the new UI.

Does anyone know if Sofirn also plans to update their other C8 flashlights (C8S, C8T, ...) for the 21700 battery size?

I’ve not heard anything about that, or different colors. Sorry. Maybe Sofirn will answer.

They may be using this model as a test to see if people will really buy a 21700 light. It’s still a pretty new battery size.

On the SP70 at least, they said the new ramping will be 3 seconds from end to end. We will have to wait and see.

Sorry for not replying. I got my Imalent DT35 after 2 months waiting and it is DOA so I was upset and made videos and pictures.
I only copied the whole writing and modes what Sofirn sent to me so sorry if some errors they have. The last info about turbo is 3500 lumens. We will see what is the final when they list it on Aliexpress.

Oh no! The hold for off is the only thing I didn’t like on the C8F. I hope they change it to click for on/off.

I wouldn’t mind waiting 2-4 weeks for the new version :smiley:

It should be available sooner than that. :wink:

I spotted the new light for sale on the Aliexpress store.

The battery is rated at 4000mah. Maybe it’s a Liitokala or Lishen under the wrapper? Those two are basically the same battery and a good choice. Has anyone heard details?

It’s a bit more expensive than I imagined at $41 $35 with no battery and $48 $41 with battery and charger.

I believe they will be doing a Group Buy soon.

Cool white or Neutral? Any ideas?

Yeah, that’s Emisar D4S territory.

Not really. D4S is $48 base model with the 219C or XP-G2 emitters and $66 with the XP-L Hi emitters. The C8F should be able to maintain output better than the D4S although the maximum brightness is lower. I see a $10 coupon at the aliexpress store so you can probably get it cheaper.

It’s their usual 5350K-5700K neutral white. Same as the 18650 version.

That’s for new users on orders over $119. So it doesn’t apply to me.
