WTS: Sofirn loot boxes / half-price variety packs

I’ll have to think about this and come back to it. This is such a good deal, I may not be able to pass it up. No, I’m not addicted! I can stop when I want to! :person_facepalming:

Maybe, or maybe not. Sofirn likes glue. These aren’t mod-friendly in the same way a Convoy S2+ is. Some are definitely moddable, but some are pretty difficult to open.

OTOH, they’re not bad as-is. They’re much nicer than anything I had in my early days at BLF. I recall spending $217 for a pair of original Skyray Kings with batteries, back when they had 200Hz PWM, 2000 lm high/medium/strobe drivers, and non-DTP aluminum emitter PCBs. Starting instead with a Q8 or SP36 would have been fantastic, especially at a fraction of the price.

… and the kitchen scale I ordered just showed up. Perfect timing. That’ll make things a lot easier.

It looks like the boxes are all pretty close to 1.6 kg before adding extra padding and labels.

I’m not really accustomed to shipping things, and I’m still catching up on messages, but I think I can probably get the first ones sent tomorrow morning. Er, morning for me, anyway… gotta get up early to be out during business hours.

PMs sent.

Whoah, this is quite the enticing offer! Too bad shipping would be international for me.
(And I guess I should reduce my overspending on flashlights too.)
But this is a really great deal you’re offering to the other members here!

A bit off topic, but the hand holding the lights seem to be male- not feminine.

I thought TK is of the female persuasion.

Back to topic. My FAS (Flashlight Acquision Syndrome) is strong, but I must resist!

The pictures aren’t from TK, they’re from the Sofirn store.

Oh man. This plus led4powers 4x flat whites for a q8… VERY TEMPTING!

C’mon, you never saw that “Seinfeld” episode?

Ok TK, send me payment info for one box please. My wife confiscated my FW3A and my BLF A6 I keep at work, sooo I need some more toys to play with!

This is a great deal, but a whole loot box is too many lights for me.

If any single SP36s or Q8s become available, I’d be very interested to get an example of one or both to play with. Either from TK, or from anyone who gets them in their boxes and wants to let one go.

:open_mouth: …. That’s not the true ‘BLF Addiction’ attitude. :smiley:
But I do envy your self control!! :beer:

AW Crudsticks.

Put me in line, please and thank you.

Please put me in line for a box,
Thank you

Thanks, I do attempt to maintain a façade of moderation. Don’t worry though, still have more flashlights than any sane, rational person should lol. :smiley: :beer:

Sorry, I don’t know whose hand that is. It kind of just appears from the ether when I need it.

So mysterious!

Now that you made this sales thread, we know one new thing about you:

You ship from the United States!

(Although you live on a small asteroid.)

In any case, I have some boxes set aside and I’m about to go have an educational day at the post office.

I was almost one of those product-returners.
I got two Sofirn lights from Amazon.

- Unpack the first one, check it out - no light. Take it apart, put it back together - no light.

- Unpack the second - no light. Take it apart - insulator disk falls of the battery. Put it back together - LIGHT!

  • Take the first apart again - find insulator disk stuck perfectly to the base of the battery. Completely invisible to a casual visual inspection. Put back together without insulator - LIGHT!

Yeah - the safety insulator had stuck itself to the battery, and was a perfect fit and a good enough color match that I had no idea it was there. Entirely a NOOB issue.

I wonder how many of the returns TK has are because of reasons like this?

ROFL… FAS is my methadone, working hard to keep me safe from BRD and Stamp Collecting.

Uh Oh… if past history predicts the future, I’m in for a bad run of TDD.
