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

Nice!

I agree. We tried but I don’t know why engineer told the hex files we received can NOT be modified. I think they use different software to modify.

Wellllll, you wouldn’t modify the .hex files…. that’s what the C files are for. :wink:

.hex files are what actually get flashed into the MCU for the UI, 1’s and 0’s in binary code. C files are the written code where changes can be made. C files get rendered into .hex files for use in the light. FWIW that may be WTMI, YMMV. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Sofirn. See this as a suggestion. It could help if one of the Sofirn engineers has enough time, and knowledge of english to be able to visit BLF, so that technical questions can directly be understood and answered.

Got my project Q8 in the mail today from Amazon, shot an unboxing first look on the lightbox with fresh charged Samsung 25S cells. I did forget what the numbers were at 30 seconds, it was actually 16,720 on the meter for 5768.4 lumens. Sorry about that, I can seriously forget stuff in the blink of an eye. It is what it is…

Good video, thank’s for sharing. :+1:

Holy over penetration.454 :+1:

pennzy, not necessarily… like with our flashlights and cells, the right combination usually proves to be worth the effort. Managing power efficiently is always the name of the game, amIright?

Hey guys, is there any discount code to get the BLF Q8 nearly the same price than the Sofirn Q8? I am not so happy with the beam of my Sofirn Q8, it’s a little bit too much throw in my view.

Yes:

Reloader?

Used to, don’t anymore but have boxes and boxes from when I did. CorBon made a really outstanding 200 gr uncontrolled expansion .45 that was really explosive when pushed hard. :slight_smile:

/\ … Yep!! . :+1:

a change of LED will also fix that. :slight_smile:

Yep, but that seems to be a little bit too difficult for me at the moment. I am really not able to reflow-solder…

@BlueSwordM: thx!

Apply a frosted film, or get a front lens that has a slight diffusion film (eg UCLens). That should make it slightly better.

Another project piece arrived late yesterday afternoon, I now have the Sofirn Q8 and a 4 pound chunk of Aluminum that are engaged to be married soon, maybe even today! :smiley:

The marriage of 4”x3.25” 6061 bar stock to Sofirn Q8 in a private ceremony conducted by Reverend Dr. Frankendale took place this morning. The ceremony was about 3 1/2 hours, seems the 6061 had cold feet and needed some persuading.

The couple are now bonded and anxiously await the arrival of their little ones so they can begin their happy but exhausting life together…

They plan a rather large family, expecting 12 Samsung LH351D 80 CRI 5000K and 4 Cree XP-L HI V3 3A to pair up with Noctigon Quad MCPCB’s and Ledil Angie optics. Should be a rather enlightening experience. :smiley:

Wow…. that looks like the beginnings to a happy & bright future!! Best wishes to the happy couple as they anxiously await their ‘litter’ of chiren’…. :wink:

You can do gym with this big piece of Alu :slight_smile:
how much measure the Hole on the center of shelf?
