Received my Sofirn Q8 today and within six hours it was already saving my butt.
Surprising my son with a trampoline for Xmas. Got everything out and looked thru the instructions. What I thought would take an hour to assemble ended up taking 4.5 hrs with help from a buddy. The last 4 of said hours were in the dark. I put some flat top 30Qs in it (button tops yet to arrive), turned it on and stuck it it a nearby free. Instant flood light that ran the whole time. The freaking thing literally saved Xmas at my house. Tonight was my only chance to get the thing up before Christmas morning.
Well, I have not reviewed the ratings of the Sofirn Q8, but I can attest that it can operate through a drop from the top of a door to the floor. Don’t ask . . .
I have a few proving grounds around the state and finally took both my Sofirn Q8 and D4 w/XPl hi to the hills and valleys with big oaks. In stock form, the Q8 is amazing at output and throw! I can't imagine what Dale's upgrades would do to it! I know many have already experienced this. I'm now just about at the 'giggle' reaction output level!
The deal on the Sofirn Q8 supposed to kick in at 13:45 PST, assume that's 4:45 PM EST. I got the email from Amazon on this. I dunno if this notification link will work for anyone else but here it is:
Donno if this is appropriate here, but having recently acquired a Q8, I believe
Sofirn and BLF should consider having a re-charging plug onboard the Q8.
Eliminating disassembly to charge the batteries would be a great plus, with
Less wear and tear to boot.
A quick and dirty convenience, with a stellar light.
