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

You could also use these great UI charts that I found here:

That does help, thank you very much! Maybe this would be best in first posting!?

One more question:
The light does give me a lot of fun, but I am missing an hole for fitting a lanyard. What thread is in the whole and is there an after-market solution, e.g. a lanyard-hole to screw in?

The hole is a standard tripod mount hole so anything made for camera’s will fit, like this:

Very nice!

I got a code from Tracy a couple days ago and ordered one from Amazon. Can’t wait to compare it to my BLF Q8.

Oh, yes please, tell us your impressions, I am inquiring about them as I bought a Sofirn Q8 a few days ago. An amazing light!

BTW: BLF/Sofirn Q8 looks like the consequently further development of Roche F12: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10002855/1309304

I put some pics up here

I don’t see any similarity to the F12.

The Q8 is supposed to be an updated and improved Sky Ray King.

The Q8 IS an update to the venerable SRK, BLF members redesigned it for optimization. Interesting that Ifowner states that it looks like an F12 which is a small tube light, the M170 is what his link goes to, which is still a lot different light as a triple and with XM-L outdated emitters and a high price tag. Neat looking light though, might have some potential were it not for that price point…

Ups. Of course I’ve meant M170.

Lot to keep up with here on BLF these days, perfectly understandable! :wink:

BLF and Sofirn Q8 have the same driver version now?

Yes

Thanks
would be better Sofirn Q8 Warm option

On my Sofirn Q8 I found a fault. After setting the step down temperature, then turn it on with a long press for ramping it’ll start at max then quickly drop to moonlight and ramp up. It’ll remain like this until I disable thermal step down or change it to timed step down. The temperature setting is causing this

Since it took one year to get a CW option, maybe we will get a WW option in late 2019. Lol

I think this is a known bug that shows up on a few lights. One of my custom drivers has this. It’s best to do one click to turn on, then ramp up. Or cover the end of the light with your hand temporarily if you have to start at moonlight.

I don’t think is that difficult do it
they also will incease sales Lol :smiley:
