So, we all love the BLF Q8 right?
WE love modifying it, making it brighter, more customized, better, and cetera.
First off, we have Sofirn which now sells the BLF Q8 MCPCB, the reflector, and the switch for anybody who wants to modify their light and easily swap parts, or make something completely, like a lantern :laughing:
Second, they also very recently released the BLF Q8 tailcap and tube, so those of us who want to do mods and keep the original tailcap can do them. Also those that lost lockout by deanodizing the top part of the threads can finally get it back without buying a whole Q8.
Finally, I have some major news about a new variant of the Q8, or the BLF Q8 V1.5!
It is going to have an array of 4x XPL HI, an extended battery tube for massive runtime, and a modified driver from what I have seen.
In this case, an image is a 1000 words!
Edit: Changed from 2S driver to modified driver because of confusion.
UPDATE 1:
See what Sofirn said:
1. Yes, the tube will be sold separately, but need to change the both two tubes. Springs better too. Copper alloy.
2. Checked with our factory XHP50.2 NW 80CRI will be considered in next update and XPL-HI will be used this time, for enthusiasts who want better color tint and long range. XHP50.2 will only require modification of battery carrier to work, so XPL-HI releases, flashlights enthusiasts will only modify carriers and driver to work to get XHP50.2 working if not waiting for update.
This is surprising to say the least
And the pic they linked.
UPDATE 2
The BLF Q8 and Sofirn Q8 extended 8x18650 tubes have started to be manufactured.
I will be starting a group buy interest list to gauge interest and how many tubes you want so Sofirn can produce the right amount of carriers and tubes necessary.
UPDATE 3
I told it in another post already, but the BLF Q8 and Sofirn Q8 use different tubes because of a slight threading change, so you need to buy tubes for specific lights.
