Sofirn originally sent this torch for review in 2022 but I pushed it beyond its limits (28,987 lumens!) and broke the driver.
Here is my review of the second Sofirn Q8 Plus:

Yeah, it’s pretty much an Astrolux EC06. Sofirn, or the parent company Jinba, made it for Banggood under the brand Astrolux.

Sounds like someone has had boots on the ground and done their own research

Hi @TimMc, in the process of buying a Q8Plus, and just read through your excellent review. Thank you for it!
One question, tho: in its “Lumen measurement section”, you state that you measured the current by “connecting one Molicel P42A 21700 4200mAh cell”, and in the table further down, you state that on Turbo, you measured “37.70 A”.
This means that, with 3 cells in parallel (ie, normal operation for the light with 3 batteries inserted), each battery would need to supply 37.70/3= ~12.6A, and therefore using 3 cells like the Vapcell F58 (capable of supplying 15A each cell) should be more than enough for the standard light as received from the factory (ie, without spring bypasses etc), up to and including turbo, correct? Please confirm.
TIA for the clarification!

Yes. It’d be about 12A per cell when 3 cells are used.
Thanks for the prompt response, @TimMc! Much appreciated!
