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?
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.
Excellent Jason. I’m personally also not too interested in this format, however indeed because it’s Sofirn that I’m also paying intention. I hope they can make something special. I think it would be best if Sofirn started a new thread.
What i like about Sofirn is that they are relatively new company. They listen to customers and trying to innovate new things. So far i have few of their lights and i like it heaps.
Yes, everyone is raving about the C8F. The only reason I haven’t bought one is because it’s not available in cool White. Now they are making it with a 21700 battery size. I think I’m going to buy that one even though it will probably be neutral white only. They seem to be good quality as well as good prices, just like Convoy. :+1:
I just bought a C8F host (comes with the MCPCB) and driver from them, and reflowed my own choice of emitters onto the MCPCB. It was a pretty easy build.
I somewhat agree with Chatika. If we are going to build a light, lets do something unique. Most people already have a L6, L2 or something similar that already fills this category in my opinion.
How about a mix between a L6 and a MT09R… triple XHP70.2’s with Narsil, light up metal side switch, and no tail switch.
The reason why we came up with the K70 is because the heat sinking is much better then on the S70/L6. We wanted a light that could stay on high for a long period of time. The original build was going to be a hyped up S70 with a possibility of an SMO reflector.
Then every one decided to go for better cooling and heat dissipation. The LED shelf is meant to be 8mm thick. I think the driver got up to about 8amps.
The perfect light here would be the K70 with a direct drive or a high current linear driver and XHP70.2 so we can get around 6-7k lumens.
I prefer this style of light over the sodacan lights. This style of light are easier to hold and have a better beam profile my stock L6/S70 is better at lighting up a field then the MT03 because you are not wasting as much light.
