Sofirn Q8 Plus

The soda-can flooder that replaced the Q8 Pro, with six Cree XHP50B emitters on three 21700s making 16,000 lumens and 76,666 cd. Anduril 2 runs it, with ramping and stepped modes, and the three cells arrive in the box and charge through a USB-C port. Sofirn's page claims power-bank output, which an independent review could not get to work, and at 492 grams without cells this is a camp or truck light, not a carry one. A running change left the head threads unanodised so the light works when the head is not fully tightened.
