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

I have Samsung MJ1 batteries, 10A max draw, will these suffice for the Q8?

Yeah, so Sofirn sent me a code anyway, and I couldn’t resist. It’ll be here Thursday, though I could have picked it up at an Amazon locker on Wednesday, if I’d wanted to, but not any of the ones closest to my house…

MJ1 can do way more than 10A.

Do you mean they are protected and rated at 10A max?

Or do you mean 10A continous?

They will work fine. They won’t give max output like a high drain, but still work fine. You might get 500 less lumen compared to button top 30Q, but to your eye it will be hard to see a difference.

You would…lol put those Samsung emmiters in there.

No it did not say that!! and it still says mine has not shipped!!

Free Shipping for Prime Members
FREE Delivery by Thursday
If you order within 2 hrs 40 mins

My delivery date still shows Friday

I assure you it did say that when I ordered on Friday. Clearly something is delaying your order but they were not immediately available to ship when the first orders came in so take that however you want. Just open up a chat like I said: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us/

Look at their C8F listing to see what I mean:

“In stock on October 5, 2018.
Order it now.”

you don’t even know what I’m talking about
The Q8 does not say that

never mind, I cancelled the order

Sorry didn’t know you just wanted us to listen to you complain. I would have grabbed a beer and a chair instead of trying to be helpful.

I chatted w/AZ and they just repeated that my Q8 would arrive on Friday
No explanation, no reason for others ordering days later and having already received the light
Thanks for listening. I feel better now. :wink:

mine has arrived today. Quite fast compared to other Aliexpress orders. Everything seems to work correctly in the flashlight. very happy to have bought it.

YUP! Have another 50 LH351D on the way as well!

What is the beam like? Does it have a defined hot spot or is it still floody?

The hot spot is very bright and noticeable. There is still floody spill but it’s substantially dimmer compared to the hot spot. The Q8 reflector is good about creating a nice hotspot with any LED really but these XP-L HI really focus everything right in a pretty dense/bright spot

Thats whats up.

Thanks for the beam description . This weekend I will be comparing the two Q8s myself.

My guess is logistics considerations (both timing and economics). They may not have had enough lights close enough to you (or me).

I ordered mine yesterday night. The earliest they could get it to me, at any price, is Wednesday, if I pick it up at a locker near one of their local delivery hubs, and Thursday if I want it home delivered.

This isn’t typical. I’ve had stuff with next day delivery come from their distribution center out side of Las Vegas leave the morning after I ordered it and get dropped at my doorstep that afternoon.

It’s irritating though, and your case is extreme enough that they should do something to make good.

I’ve had very good results normally whenever there was a problem.
I feel that they should have offered to upgrade the shipping.
Oh well, I have two of the BLF models, which are serving me fine.

400 lights are already made, 300 of them will stay in China, 50 will be shipped to Amazon US, and 50 to Amazon DE.

Sorfin shipped 50 lights to amazon US… so they probably out of stock…

I guess the stars lined up and crossed fingers, as well as “logistics considerations (both timing and economics)” all fell in line for me. :smiley:

I ordered sometime Friday 21 September & mine got here about an hour ago on today, Tuesday 25 September. :+1:

No PRIME, just regular old ‘Free Shipping’.

Ya’ gotta love it…… :wink:

Sometimes it’s just Karma, teach…. :wink:
