Just to be clear, the two Sofirn Q8’s I’m wanting from this group buy aren’t for business purposes. I’m gifting one to my father for pig hunting and the other is for a friend. If they’re good torches I’ll buy more to sell through buying directly.
Well the upside i guess is that it works fine and there’s not some fault. I may just have to drop the price and sell as they are. Hopefully Sofirn correct whatever is needed in the future as it’s an awesome looking light.
I’m sorry about not mentioning the store, just had another member give me a wake up call about this,
I am happy to buy from Alie, I looked just now through Amazon U.S. and didn’t see it but that would be the best but not a big deal.
So Alie would be great and then I can buy some other things from them while I’m there,
I think I have the purchase pause down, I’ve had to do that once before with another vendor, Simon I think…?
Sorry again for my falling asleep at the wheel, hope I didn’t miss out.
Thank You JasonWW…!!
I can wait a couple days for Amazon, will they send a message or other when they are available…?
If it’s easier for anyone I can also buy from Alie, it is not any sort of big deal time wise for me, so a day or a week no problem.
If you want to pick the place just let me know where to go and off I will go.
Thank you again
Edit: I really think Alie might be best frankly, I need some Jaxman parts and then the new CU S2+ has been haunting me so need to go by Simon’s store, so Alie I guess, I’m a dork and flashaholic, I’ll go anywhere for a light… Ha
This will be a dumb question but I rather be dumb than not asking first.
Can you tell me if those PCB’s that Sofrin is selling with all the other Q8 parts, those will still work in these lights, correct.
That way if I’m right I can mess with multiple tint LEDs and just swap them around…?
Edit: Saw the Amazon, thank you once again … great deal.
Old_Klein, the translation to Jason’s answer is yes, essentially the same light.
The one on Banggood is the original BLF version. It has XP-L HD emitters in 3D tint (or our group buy did) whereas this Sofirn has HI emitters in a cooler tint for a tighter more throwy beam. Other than that, the same. (The BLF Q8 has flats on the battery tube, the Sofirn Q8 does not.) So, minor differences in the same light. lol
- Uses NarsilM V1.2 Confirmed by djozz that the firmware’s not updated
- Uses XPL-HI in the 6000-6500k range.
Better tube.
Edit: Firmware still NarsilM V1.0. Not final however, as djozz’s unit may be a prototype somewhat, and they may feature NarsilM V1.2 from now on hopefully.
Btw, is Narsil 1.2 instead of 1.0 indeed confirmed for the Sofirn Q8 ? Forgive my ignorance but how do I check that in a few simple clicks for my Sofirn Q8 copy?
5 clicks from off, or 5 clicks from on, both do not get me momentary mode (which is a simple on-off UI, right?) but instead nothing changes, I’m still in the ramping UI. 4 clicks do give me lock-out so I’m not clicking too slow or too fast.
