“Use the Enter key and Preview your post.”??? I tried to Insert Image but after Preview could not see photos??

Just preview your post until it looks right.

Also, here's a guide on how to post images on BLF:

Is the Sofirn (not host) that you have called C8F? I would be interested to hear anyone’s thoughts on that model, with it’s triple reflector.

I can ask Cissy to sent me that C8F if nobody does have it. They now are in some Chinese holiday till 6.10.

Edit: Hope that then I’m able to add photos here :smiley:

Please edit that post so it’s easier to read. This is hard to look at.
Just press enter sometimes.

Btw. I have C8F somewhere in mail, soon to arrive if anyone wants to know.

I will right when my wife gets home. I did try many ways, just could not do it, sorry. Newbie is newbie…

Edit: Just noticed; maybe the photo file is in wrong format? There is no format that guide tells to fit here. In led hole photo address ends in letters FzOVKU??? Now I try to open photo in new window when it’s in .jpg format.

Edit 2: And that finally worked for me :slight_smile:

Sure I would like to know about that C8F. I have C8A by Sofirn and I could take some measurements/ photos with it after I learn to add photos in here :wink:

I get it :slight_smile: jpg was the reason.

I don't think there's a photo limit.

thanks for the review. seen those lights on AE and was wondering how good they were. might pick up a few.

The review is looking much better now.

Hi Jouna, thanks for these pictures. C8S host in my wishlist, both 20mm driver and MCPCB very nice. May do some fully regulated DIY torch with one in the future.

I'm waiting for a C8T to be reviewed, hope I can at least get some meaningful measurements for that new dual MOSFET driver.

With regards to the photographs, I'd improve focus and increase exposure. If you're using an Android smartphone I recommend Open Camera (F-Droid, G00gl€ Play), most stock smartphone camera applications are a joke.

Cheers

Yes, I know photos suck. This was my first “real” review so I try to do better next time :slight_smile: I did take photos with my old Panasonic DMC-LZ5 camera even better systems camera was few meters away :slight_smile: Of C8S: That needs little bit centering with H1-A driver but that’s not so bad :slight_smile:
And thank you all! :slight_smile:

For the photos, they’re too dark to see anything meaningful- just use one of your other flashlights to provide some better illumination during the shots.

Very funny. I did update some photos, is there anything else you would need Jason?

Interesting photo, but it seems random. Could we have some context?

That photo is clearly from my album in cloud. I don’t know if you are kidding or not but photo is for showing what is “integrated head”. There is same kind of photo with more light in my “quick review”.

Interesting, thanks. How does it compare to Thorfire C8?
