  • Sentimentally though, my favourite by far is the Sofirn Q8 Plus as my wife got me that as a gift on our wedding day.
  • Sofirn Q8 Plus is a big flooder.
  • Sofirn Q8 Plus for more of a balanced "thrudder".

Cons

  • Q8 plus for me was a bit of a letdown. ... I'm a pretty big sofirn dweeb but the q8 was my first disappointment. Too expensive, too bulky, too damn hot. And just not as dazzling as I was prepared for.
  • I have a Q8 plus, but no host w/ LHP73B. ... It’s pretty nice, but not that nice. Scored mine for about $60 a couple years ago. ... It overheated somehow on me shortly after receiving it, & a spring collapsed from heat.
  • Have been acquiring flashlights for a couple years, and amassed a very modest collection including the Sofirn q8 plus, hs10, sc33, if22a, with hs21 in the mail, wurkkos fc11 and fc11c.

The Sofirn Q8 Plus is the prime example of this. You have a soda can light that's hefty enough to carry well in hand, and is basically a wall of light at higher modes... But over the course of a 30 minute walk, you can do just as well with a Wurkkos TS22 or TS23 or a Sofirn SC33, that are all smaller, lighter, and sustains over half as much lumens as the Q8 Plus can

The Q8 Plus is a flooder with impressive turbo, but low sustained output.
