It can get super hot, that 16K doesnt last long. Use molicel P45B for 20K + lumens. I put a Convoy handle on mine. A very impressive wall of light for the money.
I just ordered this light. Expected delivery tomorrow. The price point and UI is what made my decision as a first big boy torch. Thanks for the review!!!
Love this light it's definitely one of the best value for money when it comes to light output, i use the molicel p42a high discharge cells in mine for over 20,000 lumens output, very impressive for a light in this size.
@@CharlesBridgTec This size (the size is not so important, could be even bigger). Is for hunting/fishing at night. I am interested in a flashlight that can last longer. It will be used to light up an area at 250 - 300 meter maximum. Thx.
@@george33333Lumintop Mach V2 with the 4695 battery. I have that and this Q8+, if money is a factor go with the Q8+ but if not definitely go with the Lumintop(10k more lumens than the Sofirn along with double the battery capacity)
Hello, I have a query. I plan to buy this flashlight, but the primary concern is its battery. Which battery should I purchase, the factory one or the Molicel one? I would like to know if using these two unprotected cells in SoFirn Q8 Plus is safe for me? It would mean a lot to me if you could assist me. Thank you.. I apologize for my poor English
You can only use unprotected cells in this light for protected cells are too long. Molicel battery would be an upgrade but the cells that come with it are fine. Thanks for watching!
Try to factory reset light by holding down the side switch while you fully tighten the barrel until it blinks. Then try to see if that helps. Thanks for watching!
I just got sofirn Q8plus and the batteries are included. Do you recommend buying batteries with protected cells? Or are the sofirn batteries sufficient and there is nothing wrong with that?
can someone help me, my sofirn q8 plus isnt that powerfull anymore and i think i know why, i havent cleaned it and it says in the manual to clean it or else it may effect the performance, but how do i clean it? where do i clean and with what
@CharlesBridgTec I always watch your reviews. It's just sad every time i catch that made in China label. I know you have no control. As for the politicians, let's just say Benedict Arnold was an amateur, if you get my drift.

Love Mollicell too! Thanks for watching!
Most RUclipsrs recommend Molicel P45B! Are Sofirn batteries sufficient or do you recommend Molicel P45B?
@@hatemzahra0075 Mollicel are some of the best you can buy. I love them.
And if you get the diffuser for it, it makes one heck of a lantern, outperforming my Coleman propane Northstar lantern!
good review, i got one of those about a year ago lights up the neighborhood very well . its amazing for 80 bucks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this review & just yesterday I purchased this flashlight for 65 dollars

Thanks Charles. 👍👍

Sofirn cells are not as powerful as the Mollicel but will provide good runtimes. Thanks for watching!

Will you make a comparrison video between SP36Pro, Q8Pro, FT02S and EA01S
Probably not. Thanks for watching!
good day. is that a painted steel bezel or is everything aluminum? thanks!
It's aluminum. Thanks for watching!
Can you recommend a good thrower/flooder under 100 USD? What alternatives do we have to Sofirn Q8 plus? What do you recommend? Thanks.
In this size form factor or smaller? Thanks for watching!

Mr Charles & What is the difference between batteries with protected or unprotected cells?
One has protection and the other doesn't. Thanks for watching!
I mean, is there any danger in unprotected Sofirn batteries, or in other words, what are the disadvantages of these batteries? @@CharlesBridgTec

@@hatemzahra0075 Nope only use unprotected cells only
Thank you very much

Clean springs and all metal contacts on the head of the light, tail cap and etc. Thanks for watching!
Send it back
@@ormalibu2056 i know its because i have to clean it, but the thing is i have no idea what to clean or how to clean it
@@CharlesBridgTec what do i clean it with
@@stargaming601 rubbing achohl on contact areas
With better batteries apparently the light will output somewhere around 20k lumens as it was measured by light meter.
Great light and great review ❤
Yes higher amp cells will boost performance a bit but included cells are fine. Thanks for watching!
how to remove the flash off on the power switch?
@@khaierul6508 Flash? Thanks for watching!
With the light off, 7 clicks.
I have that torch but its really get hot to handle
Use it on the lower outputs. Thanks for watching!
They make a handle built in like the Manker MK38 or Imalent SR 32.
Which is better
Which ever you want to be better... Thanks for watching!
I regret buying this and the 36 pro because they're just too heavy and bulky. I love Sofirn lights though just not a fan of "pop can" flashlights.
Thanks for watching!
Nice 👍👍

@@cg1288 Yeah but the politicians outsource 96% to other countries on 90% electronics etc. so their is no surprise with flashlights in my opinion.
Eh, the spill is not as bright in person as it is on camera as is always the case. Was not super impressed by this one in person.
Thanks for watching!
