FWIW, I think the light demands it’s own style, based on size and overall design. Flats on the SP36 look good, without them it looks too “tube” like. Just an observation though, not key enough probably to nix a purchase.
I like the proposed 36. What Leds ? I have been interested in longer run time lights lately like 26650 or multiple 18650s . I like the option to charge with USB if away from home .
Well, since Sofirn asked djozz to run this group buy and Sofirn themselves posted pics of the SP36, guess it’s their call.
Still waiting on the Q8 to arrive, even to leave China, so until they start getting in our hands there’s not a lot to talk about in regards to the Q8 of this thread…
A thread in which to talk about a flashlight with not much info yet, that is in prototype stage and in which BLF is not involved sounds very BLF to me :party:
It's not a deal breaker for me either, but I was just trying to sneak away the prototype flat tube if Sofirn decides to use the round one in production
I like the flats, but I think they are best done when the threading is indexed so the flats line up with the button/other features on the light rather than random orientations. The indexed threading requires more labor for machining setups and thus more cost.
