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

Interested in one. Amazon DE, the price should be in the range of 35 Euros?!

Interested (Amazon USA)

I’m definitely in for one now. I may even keep it as is, for a while.

Looking at that (not fully formed) beam shot, I’m struck by a thought: On the one hand, soda can lights are rather bulky. On the other hand, so is a medium-sized thrower, like a Convoy L2 (even in 1s configuration). This obviously isn’t going to have a beam like a single emitter thrower, but…

1 Amazon US

Really interesting! Not in, sadly, because I don’t have the funds atm, but thanks a lot for offering AmazonDE!

It would be incredible if shipping through local Amazon warehouses were to become standard for groupbuys, as that would eliminate a lot of customs trouble.

Intrested please
Thank you

Interested (Amazon US)

Mikeadoo Interested! For 1 Amazon US

OKCorey
In for one please. Amazon USA

Interested in 1. Amazon US

I’m glad you are at least getting a light from your hard work.

Are you afraid you will loose objectivity? Or is it your reputation you are worried about?

Just always tell the truth. Some folks might think I’m biased towards Lumintop because I help on their Group Buys, but I’m not. I’ll state the good points and the bad points on their products. For instance, the GT is a great light, but the company boss is screwing over about 10 people in the GT sale whose lights got damaged or lost in shipping. Shame on him. There’s no excuse for that.

As long as you keep it real and state the facts, people will know your not a “shill working for the man”. :smiley:

/\ . :+1: . Well said Jason!!

Yep… this is a crying shame too. Pitiful in fact…… :frowning:

Interested in 1 for now.

Of course I am interested! One Q8, please, Amazon DE

One might be in order. Amazon, USA.

Thanks!

Interrested Amazon EU.

@JasonWW, the remark was intended a bit ironic.

No I’m not worried about objectivity or reputation, this is a hobby and it can only be a fun hobby if I stay brutally honest :smiley:
If I develop dependancies or other interests, the fun is over.

Alright, that’s over 100 in four days. If they’ve already made them, lets get the show on the road :smiley: :smiley: :wink:

Some updates from Barry.

A beamshot, with the apologies from Barry that he could not get it really right, but he tried very hard. (still a bit too overexposed to really compare the beams, but it looks very much so that the right hotspot is tighter).

Some info about when the lights will be available:
“It’s cool for Sofirn to send code via BLF PM.
Yeah, we are supposed to send codes when if available on amazon. And aliexpress buyers can buy within a couple of days.
The group buy can be run for at least two weeks. We will see if it needs to be longer.”

A small disappointment for german buyers, I did not know this before, sorry, but it is also not that big of a deal I guess:
“It seems the price is not very clear. buy from Aliexpress is $40; buy from amazon US is $40; buy from amazon DE is €40 (I know people think it more expensive according to exchange rate but it caused by VAT, we are NOT able to make it as low as 35 euro )
If BLFers from Germany care the difference, they can choose buy from aliexpress.”

And a remark about the output of the Sofirn Q8:
“BLF Q8 is 5000+LM,Sofirn Q8 is just at 5000 Lumens line according to our machine.”
Let’s see what the BLF-machines say about that :wink:

Interested , Aliexpress. Thank you.
