Probably from a Q8 with 3000k+5000k LH351Ds and the Lantern Build.
That’s interesting.
I’d like to know more about what that video shows. It looks very similar to what the BLF Lantern does.
That went fast 
. Even before the Lantern is out, ToyKeeper’s New Tech has become Sofirn’s New Tech 
. Let’s see that as that they like what you are doing 
I’m actually surprised that manufacturers don’t put “ToyKeeper firmware!” on their boxes as a selling point. It’s an instant sign of quality to anyone in the know
Does Sofirn have an intention to give buyers a choice of CCT? For a long time there was no news on this issue.
the so called new-tech driver is designed before BLF lantern driver was made. the driver is waiting for a good shell desing.
the only same thing is both of them use multiple leds (half cool white half warm white) to fulfill temperature changing.
But UI, firmware, driver are different.
Is it something similar to Imalent SA04 which has this feature as well?
Variable colour temperature - adjustments from 4000K to 7000K
Yeah, there’s no such thing as a color change led. It’s always two extreme color leds that are mixed. Same as the Zanflare T1 lantern.
Could it be related to this one?
I don't think so as this one uses white, red and UV independently. I don't think it would look good to mix these. ;-)
However, Barry I would be interested how far the design process for this triple independent emitter light is completed already. Is the last word spoken already or can we (BLF) still give you some suggestions to improve it? Those tiny reflectors could be enlarged like the ones in your C8F triple reflector.
- Will you offer the driver separately for sale?
- Will this driver fit into the C8F 21700 host?
- Can you please check if it makes sense to offer a C8F 21700 with white, red and UV? I think that would sell well, too.
Any news about the AT35 prototype? I hope this one will still be produced.
That AT35 is still badass. Some serious heft.
The AT35 could be comparable to the Convoy M3 or even better if equipped with
- SMO reflector
- dual switch design (tail + side switch, like C8F/C8G/SP31 V2.0 and SP70)
- the C8F or SP70 UI or Andúril if it comes with e-switch only
- high efficiency boost driver with XHP70.2 in P2-3C (5.000K) and P2-5C (4.000K) bin.
I mostly agree with above. The only questionable point from the list is IMO dual switch in such a flashlight.
I think it would be brilliant to have cool light for throw (zoom?) and warm for flood in one flashlight on demand.
How about a speciality polariser?
Is the AT35 available anywhere?
Just a prototype at the moment 
I think that should have been their XHP35 HI light…
WOW, what is the tech? How does it make it?
The Beam Shaper might be copyrighted technology that Sofirn is not even aware of. Is it even real or just theory and computer animation? What are the down sides, big losses in lumens? We don’t know, but it’s a cool idea.
Hi Barry, I have some suggestions about your recent flashlight launches (e.g. SD05, SP70) that use Sofirn's UI instead of Andúril/NarsilM.
Maybe you can forward and discuss them with your engineering team? I'm sure these updates will not be too hard to implement but they will certainly make your successful flashlights even more successful and more popular.
- Please remove timer-triggered stepdowns from future drivers/flashlights. I do not see any reason to have both thermal and timed stepdowns at the same time.
- Please allow a user defined choice of ATR thresholds (e.g. 45°C, 55°C, 65°C) just like HaikeLite did with their SC26
Thermal protection setting can be accessed by 10xclicks:
The light flashes once => turn it off to select 45 degree step-down temperature
The light flashes twice => turn it off to select 55 degree step-down temperature
The light flashed 3 times => turn it off to select 65 degree step-down temperature
Eventually, Sofirn can make 45°C as the default setting that will allow a safe and comfortable usage while flashoholics, experts, evangelists and enthusiasts can raise the threshold to a higher value they deem more reasonable, maxing out the full potential of Sofirn's powerhouse flashlights like SP70, Q8 and SP36. There will not be any trade off for customers who prefer a simpler UI than Andúril or NarsilM as they still get the chance to push their flashlights (and skin :-D ) to their very limits.
Wait, timed AND thermal? ……wow.
