I’ve got a BLF Q8 but I might be of help. It all depends on what features you want.
Sofirn Q8: cooler emitters, larger size and weight, tripod/strap mount, longer battery life (The BLF version has the warmest emitters)
SP36: slightly warmer emitters, smaller size and weight, no tripod mount, USB charging, less battery life
Side by side, they work the same, have very similar output and are solidly built. If it’s around the house primarily that you’ll use it, go for the Q8. If you want to carry it in a decently-sized jacket pocket, go for the SP36. Either way, it’s a heck of a lot of flashlight for the money.
Does Sofirn manufacture for Utorch? This is a really good practical light as tested by Djozz. I’m hoping there will be a Hi CRI version with the SST-20 later.
Hello!! Just registered) Tell me please !! Is there any difference between “Sofirn BLF SP36” ( like on Aliexpress official store) and this subject UTORCH SP36. Or no difference? And group buy still actual?)
The Sofirn C8F and the Utorch C8F were the same (from what I recall) so I’d guess that these are too.
I’ve been using my Sofirn SP36 for the last couple nights and I really like it. Powerful and easier to carry than a Q8. The price is right too in this group buy.
