Muchas gracias por la detallada revisión y las instrucciones tan claras. Un saludo desde España.

The D25LR was almost twice as bright as the H version, they changed the driver to a cheap design, but it's still worth the money.

Thanks! Can you add the runtime chart?

You can use it as powerbank also.

can you please do a review of astrolux st02 sft25r

Q8plus is too heavy and too thick for hands. What to choose, q8pro, if30, sp33v3, sp36, or something else? Prefer a floody light but with far distance too?

Guys, sorry for misinformation. I just checked the tailcap is magnetic, just it does not attract battery :) Shame on me...

I love this light, it's so small you hardly notice it, and it really packs a punch! I like how smooth ramping includes Turbo, so you can get max power from off with one click, not two. The ramping is too fast, but no biggie. I use it with a wide floody headlamp (HS21 - a 9.5/10 light) to check the distance when I'm walking my dogs, they're a great combo and cost about £50 in total! Nice review, thanks!

I've got the original Q8 with 4X 18650 and rarely use it due to the weight. The other problem you can see in the beamshots - it's so bright close to you that it blinds you for distance vision! A very modest thrower would be more useful IRL. If you want to impress your friends it's great, but a single battery light is much nicer to use IMO.

17:30 regarding the ramping down to a lower level. I think this is more a battery issue with your own unit. Mine arrived today very impressed it can mantain full brightness for about 10 mins and then goes into a lower power mode. I put a generic 18650 imr battery in fully charged and it ramped own power almost straight away. Interesting

Richard, that's odd. My SR12 arrived yesterday and it comes with a magnetic tail cap. This flashlight's CCT is about 6000K - not as cool white as my Wurkkos FC12's 6500K SFT-40 nor as golden warm like my Convoy S8 with a 5000K SFT-25R. For a flashlight that's kind of short and stubby, I find the SR12 quite impressive. Although the S8's reflector is deeper than the SR12, the Sofirn's throw is just as good. My guess is that yours is from the earliest batch which didn't come with the magnetic tail cap. I don't remember if the earliest demos of the SR12 that were given to KZbin reviewers mentioned the magnetic tail cap, but from the beginning we all knew about the SR12's buck driver and the introduction of the Luminus SFT-25R emitter. 🙂

4x18a how many meters? I see there is a slight difference in range.

💥👌🙏💪

This or the Sofirn q8 plus?

Stretch out the base spring should help

The 24 pro seems one of the most interesting model on the market now, finally an easy UI / controls with 18650 battery 😃👍 (21700 are too big, heavy and cumbersome 👎). Compatibility with x2 cr123 as back up will be a great upgrade in the future. It should be able also to have a mechanical lock, by simply unturn battery cap, for backpack storage (not a fan of electronic lock, too complex). Simple and effective with the best battery 18650 😃👍 I will test one soon.

lol no way you have the same problem mine where way way worse then yours and i dont think it was from the light tho because ive been using my lights for 2 years now and the batteries still look the same so who knows but thats crazy you have the same problem

Wuben X1 SUSTAINED OUTPUT 2600lumens For Over 1,30 minutes.

Irgendwelche vergleich zu q8 pro?

0:17 its night and this hurt my eyes

Wurkkos ts11 hes the good throw with less spill

I want to see a version with 3x XHP 70.3 HI using 3x 26650 batteries. I wonder how much more lumens it could get.

Just so say this video is fantastic. Love how you show the distance on google maps. I’d suggest showing the distance with a text overlay on screen so it’s easier to see on mobile. Also, leave text on screen a few seconds longer. I’m a fast reader but had to rewind and pause several times to read the text. Great vid though

I appreciate the video but you should know your opening sequence sucked. 1 minute before it gets to anything. Start strong and captivating then show the parts much later

payed 55 EURs of alixpress with shipping and 4 batteries

I'Ve got the XHP70.3 HI CRI Version and would you say the relative and constant lumen output is the same as the xhp70.2 ? Just different beam pattern/CRI etc?

It is great for what it is. A very small EDC pocket light with high CRI in 4000k and 6000K too, Anduril 2 with RGB now AUX lights, low thermal mass and inexpensive. Much better than my Lumintop FWAA. I currently own 4 of them, plus the new single emitter SFT25R that rocks.

The performance on this light is just terrible IMO, my 18350 Convoy S2+ B35AM is much better than this and barely bigger, it has great battery life too compared to this.

I was going to buy this flashlight until I asked sofirn where to buy spare battery's and they told me I can't buy them then I saw the olight marauder mini for €140 so I bought that one instead and I really like the olight

Thorough review, thanks! These are great for close work, tent. Battery life is short so I use these at first two settings or low on the ramp setting. When on high, the light gets fairly hot but the heat does not go through the headband and rubber carrier. As with all flashlights, the light is ramped down as the flashlight heats up. I use a 3 inch piece of double-sided velcro. I place the rough/hook side of the velcro to the headband where the rubber holder is. The velcro sticks strongly to the headband. This makes the headband even more comfortable. I buy several and keep them in my cars and garage, and house in the emergency/power outage box.

Sweet light... just wish it ran Anduril 2.0

Ok I really like the 16k lumen rating, but its thicker I want a flooded with this much power, the other light I want similar to this is the Imalent ms03 as it has a thinner body but the run times don’t compare it seems

jak wyłączyć zieloną diode, nie potrafię, pomocy, help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No rubber for weather sealing? That's a bit of an issue if I can't use it in the rain.

Very nicely done review, Richard. I like your overhead drone shots as they help me understand the beam profiles from a vertical perspective. 🔦👍🏼 It got myself a TD01c as my birthday present. It was priced just a little bit more than the older TD01, so I went for the one with the buck circuit driver. Initially I thought of getting the Sofirn SF26 but I think the latter also has a linear FET driver. 🤔 A few people commented that the TD01C is the replacement for the TD01 but apparently that isn't true. Wurkkos is still selling the FET driven TD01 model alongside the TD01C. Several months back the price difference between the two was big enough to sway budget minded buyers into getting the regular TD01, but in November Wurkkos brought the TD01C's price tag down. I compared the TD01C with my other two TIR optics throwers - the Wurkkos TS11 and the Sofirn IF22A. The TD01C obviously has a more intense hot spot, but in terms of practicality I think I would carry the Sofirn IF22A more frequently. That said, after my curiosity has been quenched I don't think I'll buy another thrower like the TD01C. I realized that I prefer high powered flooders than throwers with pencil like beams! 😀

Did they upgrade the driver recently?

Hallo L.R.O, thanks for your detailed review. I also read your review on BLF. I have an HS10, I really like it for its compact size, and USB-C. LH351D 4000K, the beam is quite nice. Overall a great little light. Except for the mushy button/switch cover, it's so bad I can feel the internal switch components when pressing it. It's horrible, it feels *cheap*. Now I've done the button mod, adding a plastic sheet spacer below the rubber cover, on top of the switch. It's a really really HUGE improvement IMO IME. Now the button press feels so much nicer, firm, crisp. I can't believe how good it is with this simple mod. This is how it should've come from the factory.

Best review I've seen on this light. Very helpful

Muito top essas 2 lanterna de longo alcance.

Excelente vídeo, muito top.

How far do u think it throws in real world

👍

I have the Q8 plus. Got a Wurkkos Ts32. Was very disappointed in that one. Can get the IF30 for 25% off right now. Would you say its better then the Wurkkos ts32? That one was a huge let down for me. I dont know if I got a defective unit. But battery life is terrible, and sustained lumens, is terrible. For a soda can light. I do love the Q8 plus though.

Review 💯+💯+💯 Ok by FRANCESCO VIVALDI Photo-Urbexer-Explorer (Italy) Sofirn IG 30 SOFIRN Q8 pro 11000 Lumens is better, egual. (the new SOFIRN Q8 Plus - 16000 lumens). SOFIRN

Excellent video 📹 👍

Por favor senhor a convoy L 21 b led SST 40 alcança quantos metros desde já agradeço muito

Thank you for the great review!

thanks for the video. 4000k is clearly better. it shows the true colours and doesn't blind other people. sadly, it is rare to find 4000k lamps nowadays.

do you have the runtime chart of the mateminco a1s flashlight? i want to know its sustained brightness

Nice music I watcht your videos just to hear good music,nice job with flashlights,cary on.😊
