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

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.

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:

You can have that with the SP36

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

Just a quick note. Nkresho put some xhp50.2 in his Q8 and got about 16k lumen. Crazy.

The new 3v version 50.2 seems to work well in the Q8.

Wrong post, and wrong forum sorry.

a diffuser you hoped is available now!

Ordered, thanx Barry!

A nice update for the Q8, still a solid real life performer among the now common lumen monsters.

Good to see you back after CNY Barry, I hope that the virus will have limited effect on you and the others at Sofirn!

Good news Barry. I myself have become a Anduril fan and have been tweaking it and loading it on Q8's. I've made some tweaks, like adding voltage calibration. It calibrates the same way as temperature calibration works. We have found variations of voltage readings from unit to unit.

Can you tell me if the driver is still the same? Is it a new design, using the Atmel 1634?

The statement: Integrated power indicator in side switch indicates remaining battery power

Indicates something changed, perhaps? How does that work, exactly?

If the driver was redesigned to using the 1634 MCU, then using an external voltage divider circuit would work much better -- it's more accurate unit to unit.

Add charging too.

It is not redesign. But only change firmware.

So is there any discount coupons floating around for BLF Q8 Anduril version together with the diffuser and the holster combo?

I was just gonna suggest that, maybe in a v2.

’351s, anduril, etc., all nice, but I’ll still hang onto my originals until charging is added.

I could be tempted by this. BLF SP36 satisfies my big (ish) soda can style needs for now.

Yeah, I already got a coupla ’36es, so unless a new Q8 is a real game-changer, I don’t really “need” another one.

Barry - it's been asked by others:

Is this Anduril Q8 using a custom configured version of Anduril specifically for the Q8?

ToyKeeper has special Q8 configuration files to support the Q8, tailored for the Q8. If you got the Anduril Q8 firmware from TK for the Q8, then she probably gave you the correct version.

I wish that flashlight dealers were willing to take trade-ins when new models come to the showroom.
