Received my Sofirn Q8 today and within six hours it was already saving my butt.

Surprising my son with a trampoline for Xmas. Got everything out and looked thru the instructions. What I thought would take an hour to assemble ended up taking 4.5 hrs with help from a buddy. The last 4 of said hours were in the dark. I put some flat top 30Qs in it (button tops yet to arrive), turned it on and stuck it it a nearby free. Instant flood light that ran the whole time. The freaking thing literally saved Xmas at my house. Tonight was my only chance to get the thing up before Christmas morning.

Don’t know if too late but I’d like to get a code for one also if possible. Thanks

I know this doesn’t help you, but I will comment that Sofirn had a special earlier this month where they were giving 50% off a light purchased on amazon. I purchased a Q8 for a net of $30. I don’t post this to spite anyone, more as a comment to keep your eyes open for when they have another special deal like this. Mostly for DavidEF, who posted just a couple days after the special ended.

On a more positive note, I purchased a different light from Sofirn on their Aliexpress store in the past couple days, and they sent me a message saying they would be back on Jan 2. Hopefully you get a message back from them regarding a discount coupon in the next day or so.

Thanks slider

Well, I have not reviewed the ratings of the Sofirn Q8, but I can attest that it can operate through a drop from the top of a door to the floor. Don’t ask . . . :person_facepalming: :+1:

One tough light!

1203

Well that’s good to know. Thanks

1204

I noticed my brand new floor did not fare nearly as well. :person_facepalming:

Hopefully I can repair it before the missus notices. :innocent:

1205

Yep been there done that, just not with my Q8 yet.

1206

Tell her it was a ’highly scientific’ drop test. And that you were ‘taking one for the team’ by preforming it.

That probably won’t fly of course…… but maybe the genius of the story will take the edge off her dismay. :smiley:

1207

she’s gone for the weekend, so hopefully I won’t have to tell her anything.

1208

Even better…… :slight_smile:

1209

yep +1.

I have a few proving grounds around the state and finally took both my Sofirn Q8 and D4 w/XPl hi to the hills and valleys with big oaks. In stock form, the Q8 is amazing at output and throw! I can't imagine what Dale's upgrades would do to it! I know many have already experienced this. I'm now just about at the 'giggle' reaction output level!

1211

I thought I would post this here as a few folks mentioned wanting to wait for a deal on the Q8.

Link to amazon lightning sale on Q8, get it while the getting is good!

1212

The deal on the Sofirn Q8 supposed to kick in at 13:45 PST, assume that's 4:45 PM EST. I got the email from Amazon on this. I dunno if this notification link will work for anyone else but here it is:

Oops, mine is on smile as well... I use smile for donations directed to our church.

Expected/guessing on price will be in the low $40's.

1213

I think someone said last time it went on a similar deal it was $42.44. By the time folks read this it the deal should have started.

1214

Yep, there it is at $42.44 -- hhmmm, really think'n bout it. Now for Prime members, in 27 mins for non-primers.

Update at 7:21 PM EST: Q8's at the deal price are 45% gone now.

1215

Donno if this is appropriate here, but having recently acquired a Q8, I believe
Sofirn and BLF should consider having a re-charging plug onboard the Q8.

Eliminating disassembly to charge the batteries would be a great plus, with
Less wear and tear to boot.

A quick and dirty convenience, :+1: with a stellar light. :beer:

1216

You can have that with the SP36

1217

OK. So, where’s that rabbit hole! :wink:
