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

Djozz, did Sofirn talk to you at all about the choices they’re making with this version? Did they explain why they are going with this particular emitter and tint?

Oh yeah, they better compensate you with something. At least a sample light. Being in charge of a Group Buy is a lot of work and it’s not fun. This is why I only help out on them, as opposed to being in charge of them. I hope things go smoothly for you. :beer:

I’m interested as well, possibly two please.

You left out which store you buy from.

No, they did not discuss anything, all this is their initiative. This emitter in their view is likely just chosen because it is different enough from the 3D XP-L to attract a new audiance. And all above suggestions for other changes to the Q8 involve more work: development, design, testing etc.
This one is easy for Sofirn and looking at the growing list above their choice pays off.

I hope that this goes smoothly too for me, as long as my involvement is maintaining the list, I’m alright :slight_smile:
And I really hope that the ordering for the people on the list goes smooth too, but all the past gb’s learn that it is never so.

I don’t need another Q8, but I’m very interested to see how this project will go.

Thread started 25 hours ago, 69 lights are on the list now. I begin to wonder if Sofirn wants a limit on the number of lights sold for this price? I guess I will hear that after the weekend…
