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.
Don’t count on that, at August 31 Barry told me that 400 units were produced already, and at Sept 3 Barry promised me to send a sample. And leaving a working firmware as is fits perfectly in the general chinese mentality.
I’m not sure why Teacher mentioned turbo or top of the ramp, that’s kind of irrelevant.
If you do three clicks and put it in the battery check mode all you have to do then is a double click and that will blink out the temperature in Celsius, then do another double click and it will either blink once then have a really long pause or it will blink once, a short pause and then two more blinks and then a long pause.
Your right Jason WW, that is somewhat irrelevant. :+1: . I “mentioned it” because that is the way I usually do it…… nothing more.
Of course you are correct……
From Off… Triple click = voltage check > then double click = temperature > then double click = firmware check > then hold button until LED’s flash = Factory Reset.
