Got my order of 25/25 springs. Thanks!! I'm talking with Tracy at Sofirn, recommending the large springs for use in the Q8 - dunno if it can happen but she may try contacting you.

The Sofirn Q8 has some minor improvements, but biggest difference is the XPL HI's - I measured just over 100 kcd in stock form with 30Q BT's. Think these springs would work well in it, we'll see. Just might upgrade it with the springs with a detailed before/after tests.

BlueSwordM · 2018-11-29T03:49:20.000Z

Honestly, you’ll be very impressed with them.

I actually did a tailcap mod a while back, and here are the numbers.

My lumen numbers on the Q8 with the normal lens and steel screws were 5230 lumens.

My numbers on the Q8 with the Kaidomain AR lens were 5649 lumens at 30 seconds, with brass screws. I didn’t actually gain as much as expected with the brass screws, since the steel screws were tightened to the max and have a very wide contact area. The AR lens made the highest increase.

My numbers on the Q8 XP-L HD with the replaced springs and AR lens are now at 6764 lumens! at 30 seconds, with brass screws.

If you don’t have the same result as me(lower), then it’s probably due to the lack of an AR lens. You should still see very nice boost in brightness.

If you had the XP-L HD version, you’d probably be getting around 6400-6500 lumens at 30 seconds.

Tom_E · 2018-11-29T04:23:30.000Z

Yeah, I modded a bunch with bypass wires, but it's a PITA, so looks like these springs get bout the same results, but 6700 is wayy up there with my best Q8 mods, I think what I recall... I also swap the FET's to better ones: SIRA20DP or the Infineon one. Also used UCL and UCL/p lens.

BlueSwordM · 2018-11-29T04:28:53.000Z

Yeah. I also probably got the highest brightness variant of the XP-L V6 3D, so your mileage may vary a bit

But honestly, the combination is very potent.

DB Custom is getting 21A/spring array in his 4P Q8 Super Saiyan HMR or something.

Lumencraft-Matt · 2018-11-29T18:38:32.000Z

Just in case anyone is still wondering these are A+ grade springs. Easy to solder to as well.

BlueSwordM · 2018-11-30T01:19:37.000Z

So, guys and gals, the 1st BeCu VHC spring group buy is finished.

I will be shipping the last of the orders tomorrow, and my big spring box is now empty, as expected

The envelope arrived.

Thanks!!!

Lexel · 2018-12-05T21:12:13.000Z

funny I am on list and never got a PM to pay my order

clientequator · 2018-12-05T21:13:03.000Z

Hi, are there still springs for sales?

BlueSwordM · 2018-12-05T22:08:20.000Z

@Lexel, I made an exception for you. I knew you had a lot of work with drivers, renovation, so I waited for you to either ask or notice you still didn’t get a PM.

Your springs are ready to ship, and will be shipped tomorrow.

BlueSwordM · 2018-12-05T22:08:51.000Z

@clientequator, not yet unfortunately. Not until after Christmas at minimum.

BlueSwordM · 2018-12-08T02:02:07.000Z

So, everybody, I’ve started prepping another list for Part 2 of the Upgraded BeCu spring groupbuy, along with other surprises, including some high CRI LEDs of which some of you already know about

AguassissiM · 2018-12-08T02:07:23.000Z
