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

:+1: … I’d say that about sums it up. :wink:

You know things are in the slow boat from China stage when the conversation takes this path… :wink:

Sometimes I like to make anagrams of people’s names, rearranging the letters to see what else they can spell. Last time I did that I found a bunch, but two anagrams in particular made for good pseudonyms, depending on how her day is going:

  • Anna’s having oatmeal.
  • Oatmeal’s having Anna.

Unfortunately, she’s now going on a solid week of being bested by oatmeal. I hope that turns around soon.

Gotta watch those Quakers

(Mormons too) :wink:

Received mine, interesting clover beam spill. Decently bright light, well machined… no qualms about this light, I feel like it’s a good all around light. Using samsung wj1s.

Got mine in today. Very impressed. I don’t normally like cool white, but this has a nice even white beam. I like it better than the BLF Q8.

That's a solid looking beam. Mine comes tomorrow from Aliexpress and your beam shot boosted my hope that I will like it big time.

I like throwers that don’t have pencil beams. That looks nice.

In the mean time, mine hasn’t shipped yet.

Pics are in this thread. Everything is exactly the same as the original Q8, just color is cooler and the hot spot is a bit smaller.

received mine today
!!

Ordered mine a little late..about a day after getting my code and it said restocking sept 27? and shipped by oct 2-3 ? ...anyway it came today sept 25th with no prime /regular shipping .

This light has more throw than the BLF-Q8 but visually it doesn't look like twice as much throw . Cooler white tint outdoors is ok but inside it isn't as nice as the BLF Q8 NW tint . BLF Q8 IMHO is still a nicer light

I guess you just want a hurrah?

Hurrah!

Interested. Amazn US. Thanks

any benefits to switching to brass screws?

No clue… I think rubber switch is pretty responsive…

I think there are 6 left, but I’m not sure.

I think a couple hundred lumen. Maybe just 100 lumen. Something like that.

Nice, Goin to switch them out now. I can’t wait.

It’s the 4 tail screws that give a benefit. They are button head M2.5 x 5mm.

Bypassing the springs give the most benefit, maybe 300 more lumen. It will be drawing about 20A on good high drain cells.
