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

Reuleaux?

@FlashPilot, well, I was the one who spoke about the new Sofirn Q8 first since I had talked about it a few months ago:

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.

Yes, with DNA 200 chipset

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

Evolv Have a brand new DNA 200 in it’s box if anyone is interested in buying it, ha ha…

Thanks!

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.

Hello, I’m interested for one by aliexpress.

Thanks!

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.

:+1:

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.

Yep, I think that would be nice too. But it is often not so, my X1R from the gb that is on the way is not tested, and I have to await how the Convoy T2 will perform (not from gb, but also underway). Etc. What we will have to go from is that this light is hardly different from a very well tested light and that all changes from that lighy should be quite predictable (but you won’t know for sure).

That said, Barry promised to send me a Sofirn Q8 for the effort, maybe it will be here sooner than most will buy their lights and then I can do some testing.

(which also endangers my neutrality in respect to Sofirn :stuck_out_tongue: )
