About 1m against the wall at different shutter speed

Thanks for the pictures Barry. Does Sofirn know when the light will be on Amazon US?

Thatā€™s why I think the BLF Q8 has a much more useful beam. Warmer and floodier.

Both the Sofirn and Airpro have the cooler spotlight beams that areā€¦ meh.

Thatā€™s why if you want/need a thrower, get a dedicated thrower (L2, SP70, etc.). Donā€™t think Q8s were designed as throwers. Might be wrong, butā€¦

The stock BLF Q8 has a throw-cd/output-lm ratio of 13, that makes it not a thrower. A common up-to-date C8 with XP-L Hi does 100, six times better (the first GT is 500 even). But with the many super-flooders with multi-TIRā€™s today, the Q8 is pretty throwy in comparison.

Imagine thatā€¦ a Q8 with replaceable 20mm/26mm TIR lenses instead of reflectors. :heart_eyes:

Ground-to-ground distance of flashlight to opposite building (as per Google Maps) is about 120 meters.

I estimate around 150 meters or so diagonal distance (Iā€™m shining upwards from a lower level)

comparing it with beamshot of Sofirn Q8

Sofirn Q8 (4x XPL-Hi CW, ā€œ5000ā€ lumens)

and also comparing with the BLF Q8:

BLF Q8 (4x XPL-HD NW 5000K, ā€œ5000ā€ lumens)

The vidoes are not taken at the same time (different night), but the flashlight and camera is positioned in the exact same place (give or take a few centimeters) for the beamshot.

Just to add:
Guy in review sad that this SP70 is prototype.

Mine is close, USPS says today's the due delivery date but that ain't happening, should be tomorrow.

I wish you guys would stop comparing this thing to a Q8. This was supposed to be compared to a Convoy L6, and supposed to out throw it with the larger head.

I feel like weā€™re comparing apples to oranges which makes me wonder about the design of the reflector.

What batteries are you using?

I would love to see a comparison between the L6 and SP70 although the greater known output of the SP70 already gives it the edge.

I plan to compare it to my hotrodded L6 with SMO reflector. We will see if a bigger textured reflector beats a smaller SMO reflector.

YES! I would love to see this thing beat a hotrodded L6. Thatā€™s a comparison worthwhile!

Does the SP70 have a step down function if itā€™s been on turbo too long and itā€™s getting hot?

BTW, thanks to all for contributing their videos, pictures, and input!

This light is looking like a steal for the price!

Yes, itā€™s supposed to have Advanced Thermal Regulation. Itā€™s something that Sofirn designed in the UI. I donā€™t know the details on it.

Quickly compared SP70 with L6 ,bigger hotspot than L6 and noticeably brighter.

According to the manual the SP70 will reduce its output once the driverā€˜s temperature exceeds 60Ā°C. So, you should be safe running it on turbo. :slight_smile:

Can you post pics of your lightā€¦ā€¦
