Sofirn Q8pro V SP36pro (Beam comparison) 

I was choosing between the Q8 pro and SP36 pro. I watched some videos stating that there is barely a difference when it comes to light output between the 2. So I went with the SP36 pro instead. Now I just saw this video and it confirms my choice! I like the good mix of throw and flood that the 36 pro offers. Great video by the way!

Thanks for taking the time. I wished you didn't wash the beams over each other so much but you did enough separation to help show these lights. Cheers.

Very nice comparison, without numbers and specifications, just what one would see outside in practice. Thanks!

Nice video as always. I'm happy to say I just got my SP36 Pro 2022 version today. Anduril 2.0, no rings in the beam and tons of light! Wow I am impressed. Already have two more Sofi's ordered damnit!!! Cheers all

Thanks a bunch for this direct comparison! Both seem to have their own strengths - one for closer range, the other for distance. It´s a bit anti intuitive that a ramp ceiling (non turbo) in the Q8 Pro is available via advanced settings, in the SP36 Pro via simple settings (in mine anyway). I´m doing a lot of urban exploration, and I see a use case for both. The Q8 Pro might have 2 additional advantages: It can charge a Smartphone, and the brightness at close range might help in a self defense scenario.

Just got my Q8 Pro, couldn't be happier with it

This is the comparison I needed, already own an SP36 Pro and was wondering wether to look into a Q8 but I think it not going to be enough of an upgrade for me. I work in security so the extra throw is more usable for me and the spill is still plenty for the closer range stuff.

Great videos but you really need to stop put one beam inside the other. it just adds to the brightness of the beams together what you need to do is point one up into the sky away from testing the beam that you shine onto the subject. just saying it would give a better vision of the beam range. and brightness. s plus the spread

This comment is from Korea. I bought the SP36 Pro 18 months ago. I usually use it when I go to the mountain at night alone. I think the short turbo mode time and severe heat generation are disadvantages.

I’ve got mine mounted on the front of a high powered e-scooter so it cops heaps of wind as you’re riding at 30-40kmph which helps to cool it down. But I’m disappointed at how much it ramps down even though it’s being cooled by the wind.

I watched your video countless times

Thanks for comparison, i choose sp36 pro

Sofirn are currently discounting the Q8 Pro by 45% so I grabbed one in 5000k for £35 including batteries which cost about £20 alone so basically getting the light for about £15 delivered. Of course I absolutely don't need it but how can you let an offer like that go by? I couldn't.

Partially based on your review and beam comparison I got the Q8 Pro a few weeks ago and am so far very satisfied with it. The characteristics are immediately apparent: A softer, much more spread out light beam compared to other flashlights. For my main purpose, urbexing, it´s actually better, because a wider beam improves spatial orientation in narrow, confined spaces, which is important if those environments are structurally compromised. The only downside: So far I haven´t been able to use this torch to it´s full potential, because in general these modern flashlights are so bright it´s easy to spot a person even through a dusty, grimy window from the outside in broad daylight. While urbexing, you don´t want to call undue attention upon yourself, which is why I´m cranking the Q8 Pro up only as much as necessary. However, less light and a wider beam is preferable to me than a brighter, but narrow spotlight. Now I´m curious what Sofirn´s next step will be in the high-lumen department.....!

Thanks much for the video! 👍

My Sofirn sp36 pro dont have that outer ring, maybe sofirn just address, solve that problem, i have the sofirn sp36 pro 6500k and Q8 plus 5000k, 16k lumens, i enjoy using it. 😊

I prefer the sp36 pro reasons 1. It has anduril 2. And 2. I prefer the SST40 LEDs

Q8 pro lebih keren bro, karena cahaya sp36 pro ada semacam cicin. 🙏👍 salam dari Indonesia ❤💕

I'm looking for a Soda Can style flashlight that has fairly far throw on Medium/high settings. I was looking at the Wurkos TS30, and I like the throw on it, but I want a bigger battery pack which is why I'm looking at Soda Can style lights. I want it to throw about 400m, maintain 1000+ Lumens for like 2.5-3 hrs.

perfect review thank you

Thanks, i choose sp36 pro

Interesting comparison, thank you! I'm looking to pick up a Q8 Pro and I have a SP36 5000k LH351D, I suppose in that case the Q8 Pro will throw further and I'm sure I'l like the clean beam much more than the SP36... I can get distracted by its flower pattern and I also feel like the SP36 is also sometimes not spreading the light "wide" enough, close to your feet and stuff. I'm tinking I'll miss the light "quality" (CRI) of the SP36 though, but then again the powerbank functionality and Anduril 2 seem quite handy to me!

Hello, can you please advise me between the Sofirn Q8Pro and the Imalent M06? Please, can't decide. Thank you in advance.

Ciao alla fine quale consigli dei 2 io ho il c8f è con il turbo fa un bellissima luce vorrei prendere un'altra. Consiglio grazie.

The q8 causes over exposure on your camera it's so bright

get yourself an astrolux FTO2S if you want to see artifacs but its a master BLASTER heheheheheheheh

Good beamshots. If you can use Samsung batteries in your Q8 pro. Tests show that the stock sofirn batteries don't let it get to to its 11k lumen mark and top out at 8k lumens.

Hey! Bought Q8pro. Why does the orange LED light up during operation? And then green again.

What's the main difference between sp36 pro and blf? Im looking at it right now and they have the same price but the blf has only 5650 lumen while the pro has 8000 lumen. Also between that q8 pro and sp36 pro which one last longer on turbo mode before it step down?

4:53 you wake up a monster bro, turn off your damn light, he need to rest.

Which one of these steps down quicker?

Так какой ярче?

Fenix lights are better

Your vids are brilliant.
