Sofirn Q8 group buy (gb closed, but try PM to Sofirn for discount)

Interested in 1 from Aliexpress,thanks.

Next step is to place an order on Sofirn Ali Express store select ‘other’ payment and leave a message with your BLF username. The price will be adjusted and you can then proceed with payment. Mine was adjusted within the hour.

Yes, but people still have to post here to get their name on the list. Otherwise the price will not be adjusted. So he is doing it correct. (If your saying it’s not correct)

Didn’t say it wasn’t correct :slight_smile: but maybe I should change to:

+1 Much appreciated djozz!! :beer:

1 for me, AliExpress

Yes you are right of course, but I can imagine a scenario in which the Sofirn employee in charge of the website does not bother checking the list all the time and just gives the discount when seeing ‘BLF’. Someone could check that. :party:

interested Amazon US

Amazon USA

Uh, sorry, I’m guilty of that.

I am not super patient, in part due to such a short memory… I know I am waiting on Amazon to get these and I’m on that list, but I also ordered one from AliExpress without being on the AliExpress list. Sorry if that throws a wrench in the works. I got excited about possibilities when ordered parts from Neven and , well, wanted to make sure I had one coming in case I forgot to order one from Amazon. :blush:

I doubt that it matters a bit. It seems like Sofirn is not in a hurry to make an end to this gb, they even have not sold that many via aliexpress yet, and I’m sure they still have some margin on the gb price, every light sold is advantageous for them.

Maybe they aren’t checking the BLF list.

I think the Amazon US will sell out as we already have over 50 people signed up.

Yep…. I’m thinking Amazon US will be a race…. :smiley:

Any word on when this race starts? :wink:

Nope, no update yet

Dale, any preview on what you have planned with those new parts? I like the idea of that 4040/5050 board but without a battery carrier and without 4040 centering rings it almost seems like more trouble than it’s worth until one of those things changes.

With a good reamer and some endurance, and a bit less skin on your fingers afterwards you can ream the stock centerpieces to 4040 size.

Nope… have your foot on the gas & be ready to pop the clutch when it happens though. :smiley:

Or I guess, in this case; being fast at signing in to Amazon & clicking the mouse might be more appropiate……… :wink:

Ordered with Aliexpress, thanks djozz :beer:

I change the bore on centering rings all the time, no sweat there. Was figuring on either the LH351D or maybe SST-40’s. I don’t usually worry about changing battery carriers around and such, if I wanted to use 6V emitters I’d simply stack 18350’s in there and have at it. :wink:

Might actually simply flash Anduril and leave it be, or put in the 80CRI 5000K LH351D’s for color. I’ve got all kinds of max power lights, after all. lol
