Had the Sofirn Q8 in my truck for 2 weeks. More than a few turbo blasts, and general use, batteries are reading 4.02 across the board. 1st cool white light I’ve bought in recent memory, no regrets.
Been reading all the good things about the BLF Q8 since it came out, but was never really interested in it. I have several other soda can lights and didn’t really need/want another. But the other day I found a coupon for Amazon for the original BLF Q8 for $50, plus I had some Amazon Visa points that brought it down to $25 so I grabbed one. Now I see what all the fuss was about. It’s smaller than I expected for a 4 cell light, which is a good thing. This is really a sweet light. Stock it’s really nice already, but it’s super mod-friendly too. So I PM’d Sofirn for a discount on their Q8 and have ordered one of those. Got a 3rd one coming from Amazon that I will be modding. I already love the stock BLF Q8 as is. What a great light and a great value for $50 (or less). Thanks to this thread for keeping my interest in this light alive and finally pushing me over the edge to get SEVERAL… :sunglasses:
You are welcome. This thread was luckily not really hard to do, I had no part in the Sofirn version of the Q8 and I’m glad that Sofirn took care of sending out the codes. So I just made the list and answered questions.
I remember I’ve read that there are versions with different drivers out? Or that some people talked about problems with their light? Can you help me with a link, I do not find where I’ve read about.
lfowner, it sounds like you may be thinking about the new 21700 version of the C8F. The first batch of drivers had a higher-resistance FET that limited output.
Yeah, must be another light you read about Ifowner. The Sofirn Q8 has been pretty much problem free to the best of my knowledge & recollection.
I know I am really liking mine. The white beam is very nice too, I am loving that. :+1:
