@FlashPilot, well, I was the one who spoke about the new Sofirn Q8 first since I had talked about it a few months ago:
So, we all love the BLF Q8 right? WE love modifying it, making it brighter, more customized, better, and cetera. First off, we have Sofirn which now sells the BLF Q8 MCPCB, the reflector, and the switch for anybody who wants to modify their light and easily swap parts, or make something completely, like a lantern https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BLF-Q8-Accessories-lighted-switch-assembly-Copper-DTP-MCPCB-Reflector-for-Q8/32879434650.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.52b34c4dp3XU0f Second,…
I actually found out by accident that they would be making an updated version of the light by asking for a battery tube to be made available:
And no problem! I understand your concern for wanting a response from djozz. He is more knowledgeable than I am.
Reuleaux?
Yes, with DNA 200 chipset
BlueSwordM:The MCPCB is of course DTP. It would not make sense to not use a DTP MCPCB since the BLF Q8 features it already, and most lights already do. Therefore, the Sofirn Q8 will feature one of course.
AR lens? Depends on where they source it. Some AR lens are just bad in terms of tint, like in the prototype AR lens for the Q8, and the Kaidomain AR lens.
If they can get a similar one to the Kaidomain AR lens, that would be great.
NOT TRUE! Im not at all interested in your guesses and false assumptions. If you dont have definitive facts about the actual build specs for this light, then dont guess at the answers for someone extremely knowledgeable on the subject who will get them directly from the manufacturer.
The questions are for djozz and for the record, so I will kindly await his replies.
Geez. You can wait for a different person to answer without attacking those who are only trying to help. :person_facepalming:
Thought it looked familiar
Hello, i’m interested for one by aliexpress.
Thanks!

On further reflection, as much as the Q8 is a BLF classic. 4x18650 cells really are more battery than I want/need which is what has kept me from getting one up to now, it would just sit un-used.
Totally understandable. I don’t use my soda can lights much. They come in really handy sometimes as extra lighting for photography and video, and they’re nice as lanterns or candles due to the wide stable base and long runtime, but I don’t use them much for regular flashlight purposes.
However, that said, I use my Q8 quite a lot as a candle.
I’m in.

I’m interested. I’ll buy one only if they don’t remove the tripod mount. 1/4” or 1/2” thread it doesn’t matter.

Same here, they even only leave the house twice per year, for showing off and candle use, too big and an unneccessary amount of light. On holidays and weekends away atm I take my LuxeonV-D4 and SP33 for runtimes, so that is 10 times a year, my E2L shorty is carried and used every day.
Three new pics for the OP, I asked for one extra beamshot together with the BLF Q8, pending…
New info:
*The leds are XP-L Hi output bin V3, colour bin 1C or 1D, their order was too small to ask for one specific colour bin. (1D is right on the BBL, 1C above it)
*there is no current limit on the group buy, if it exceeds the produced numbers, they make more.
*no sales via Amazon Italia or Australia atm, Barry says sorry.
*it should be on Amazon within 10 days from now
I also got a message from Sofirn:
Firmware should be updated to NarsilM 1.2, and other parameters will stay the same as the BLF Q8.

Interested in one from the US AMAZON THANKS
I would be interested in knowing how much lower the power level is going to be. Are we talkin about 400 to 500 less lumen?
It would be really nice if they could have one tested before they go on sale.
