Sofirn Q8 group buy (gb closed, but try PM to Sofirn for discount)

If Sofirn wants to change the firmware, it’s open-source and already available. I haven’t talked to Sofirn about it, but it’s definitely possible. NarsilM had some updates since then, and there are other compatible interfaces too.

Really? That’s an interesting theory. It doesn’t fit me or the people I know.

Interested, AZUS.

Sign me up, just in case.

Did you read post #1?

You have to say which store you will be buying from.

I have to agree with BlueSwordM, everyone thinks my CW lights are more impressive. I always hear that because they can see the beam more clearly it looks brighter. We know that isn’t the case, but I hear it from friends and family.

Interested. (Aliexpress)
Thanks.

Darn it. I was perfectly fine with what I had. Til this thread showed up. Interested in 1, Amazon, US.

Would prefer a host as I have enough drivers and emitters to last a lifetime. How about it Sofirn? Your C8F host is very popular around here.

CW only in a custom BLF light is sad.

Hmmm. With all these CW lovers, is there anyone who wants to buy a Q8 MCPCB with four CW XP-L HI to retrofit an old BLF Q8?

If so I’m in four one new Sofirn Q8 from Amazon :slight_smile:

Back up, aren’t you forgetting the actual Q8 that’s been out a year or so?

It is a NW only light that is sad. Now we at least have two color choices. That’s a good thing.

I only wish it was the HD version emitter they were using. I guess they think offering the HI version will sell more than the HD. IDK.

well, except a little lower price, 6500K is deal killer to me
i’m not quite interested, unless the move to other led( xp-l2 or sst40)

Are you saying you have one that you’d like to sale?

Or am I misunderstanding you?

I’m not sure why they chose the emitter they did. If they want a cool white offering, changing the mcpcb to a 5x5 and using SST40 is a good choice. It’s the same color, but noticeably higher output. I think that would get more sales than xpl-hi.

Was lack of throw ever an issue with the Q8?

I guess they want to stick to the stock mcpcb?

Interested in one via Sofirn aliexpress store
