I don’t know. Try asking here. I’m sure they know.
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

It appears they at least all use the same reflector

“It appears they at least all use the same reflector size .” Is that what you meant? That is not uncommon. It may even be on purpose. Lots of different lights interchange reflectors.

The height and width is the same. Just throwing out ideas for alternative lights since this is vaporware. Im not an expert…

The Kronos is just a restyled S70s. Both are good mod lights.
I’ve got a modded L6, but it’s not anywhere near $50.

Probably why the K70 got abandoned…… the price ain’t right for Thorefire!

I messaged Miranda about a possible resurrection of this project but all I got was a response that this “project is terminated”.

We are interested in making a new similar light, but not K70. It depends on you guys. How about any of you help gather opinions and do a groupbuy?
Just wow. Really cool when a company just steps up like that and says hey let’s make an awesome light! :+1:
If you ask us what kind of light we want, you will get a thousand answers with lights ranging from a mini single AAA all the way up to a 8x21700 monster light and everything in between.
If Sofirn is going to make a similar light, perhaps you can tell us more about what you have in mind first? Thanks!
Perhaps you can start a new thread?

Very interested in “new similar light”.

It should be xhp70.2 and 2 x 26650. About a 3” diameter head with side switch. That is the basic K70/S70 and Convoy L6 design.

That the classic form I like.
That is so true. Let’s see if Sofirn gives us confirmation. This is definitely interesting stuff.
This is already boring. Maybe 3x xhp70 + xhp35 HI, powered by 3x 26650 in side by side config?

Sorry, that would be a whole different light.
The reason they posted in this thread is because they want to do a classic design like the S70/L6.
Sofirn said:
It should be XHP70.2 led, 2× 26650 batteries, side switch + tail forward clicky switch, a new look (we are trying to make).
Would anyone like to make a new thread so it can be discussed?

In a PM. I don’t have time to do a group buy myself. I will see if Sofirn can start a new thread so the new light can be discussed.
So far, they want to call it the SP20. They need suggestions on the UI. Maybe the driver too, I’m not sure on that. There is lots to discuss. Sofirns recent lights have been very impressive so I’m quite interested in their version.
