Oh man, the discount does not work for me here in the states. Do you have one that works in the US?
@FLASHAHOLIC, ...hey man, I have been watching a lot of your videos, ...keep up the good work!
...I have been looking around for a little while now, for a flashlight that has a very particular set of features, ...i'm kind of new to this hobby, ...and this whole market is kind of complicated out there, ...because there's a lot of places, and brands to search, and sift through...
...so, I figured that I should just stop making this hard on myself, ...and stop wasting any more of my time, ...and to just go on ahead and ask you, ...because you seem to know alot about all of these flashlights, ...a whole hell of a lot more than pretty much anybody else that I have seen out there so far, ...especially by the way that you test them all out in the same manner, because you always stick to that same format for all of your videos, ...because you know that consistency when testing, is the most important thing!!!
...and so, ...anyway, ...here is my question:
...what is, in your expert opinion, (if it even exists) ...would be the best, and highest quality, flashlight out there, ...that would have all, (or as many as possible) ...all of the following features, ...all contained within just one, compact, EDC flashlight?
1.
...has the ability to function on Nichia, high emitters...
2.
...has the ability to be able to run on the Anduril2 software, ...and use both the simple, and the Advanced UI interface...
3.
...has the ability to be able to easilly update the Anduril2 firmware, with an easily accessible, built-in USB port connection, ...preferably, USB-C...
4.
...has the ability to be able to charge with an easily accessible, built-in charging port, ...preferably, USB-C, ...and, has a High quality, removable battery, ...and, has a battery that's also included with the flashlight...
5.
...has the broadest range of built-in, customizable, different colors, of the whole spectrum? ...for example, it could produce the full spectrum of RGB, violet, purple, ultraviolet, and pretty much, have the capability to produce the full rainbow of all colors...
6.
...has the ability to be able to adjust, alter, and calibrate the white balance, as well as the color temperature, ...each gradually, and completely independent, covering the entire kelvin color spectrum wavelength...
7.
...has the ability to be able to adjust the brightness, intensity, and lumens of each separate RGB, color, hue, and color temperature, all independently, ...all nice, and even, on a gradual, and smooth scale...
8.
...has the ability to be able to combine all of the different features mentioned above, ...all together, ...all simultaneously, ...and, all at once, ...because, this will grant the user an opportunity to instantly have access to a vast array of a complete arsenal, of limitless, unique, and infinite combinations of RGB, violet, purple, ultraviolet, a complete rainbow of colors, ...as well as, independent white balance, color temperature, and the kelvin color spectrum, ...all combined with independent brightness, intensity, and lumens adjustment capabilities, ...would make the total number of all the possible different visual options, ...seemingly endless!
...PLEASE, LET ME KNOW, THANK YOU!!!
...OH, YEAAHH!!!

Man I am hooked on your channel. It's perfection. Thanks for taking the time to do these!
Fantastic beam shots and great music!
Wow love your video presentation. No talking. But covered every little detail and the walk to the dangerous place was thrilling.
Your music selection makes your reviews EPIC. Merry Christmas from California, the most up-side-down place during this "pandemic."
'Light up the Sofirn torch for it is the winter solstice🌟
Happy Holidays,Cheers
Жаль что мне этот обзор не попался до покупки фонаря. Я хотел Convoy S11, но никак не мог найти его характеристики. Той информации, что опубликована у продавцов, мало. Купил Sofirn C8G, но продолжал мечтать о Convoy S11. Сейчас посмотрел видео и понял, что я сделал правильный выбор, купив Sofirn C8G.
Спасибо 🙏 огромное за обзоры, благодаря Вам я купил Mateminco G02 (у Вас есть обзор Astrolux HL02, они одинаковы). Довольно долго хотел купить CyanSky HS6R (опять же - благодаря Вашему обзору), но всё-таки передумал.
В принципе у меня и без того много фонарей, одних только велосипедных фар купил более 30 штук. И вот среди них лучшую не нашёл. Использую ту, которую купил лет 5 назад.
Ваши обзоры очень нравятся, и из-за того, что фонари сравниваются с другими фонарями, а также показаны одни и те же места, где происходит сравнение фонарей, эти обзоры очень ценны.
Спасибо 🙏
Very nicely done reviews. Always enjoyable. 😉👍🏻🇺🇸
I have in the collection , Great flashlight !
Your videos make me terribly homesick. Keep em coming! Thanks.
You lived in a Dangerous Place?
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV No, I'm from Bournemouth but the red brick buildings, the alleyways, the playing fields............remind me of home.
Too many flashlights and home will be the poorhouse!
I have one of these. Great value thrower.
which of the lanterns has a greater area of illumination, and offers a better quality of brightness, the sofirn c8g xhp35 or the sofirn c8g sst40?
Very good review! Just received mine and this was very helpful.
Nice review of sofirn 👊
Amazing vídeo, man! 👍
Ta!
Hi, I’m here in California. Do you have a discount code that works for the states? It looks like I can’t find one that will ship to the US.
Man i like it, is in the throwing side, but not in the extreme throwing side. I thing is one of the most suitable flashlights for me, because i am a fun of the the thrower flashlights, but not the extreme throwing. Very good option. Not that the other flashlights in the video are bad, not at all bad, it's clearly a matter of taste, or you can have many different flashlights and everytime you choose what you like or what you need.
Parabéns pelo comparativo, estou em dúvida entre a Sorfirn C8g e C8l.
I have it, great flashlight
Another cracking review
Thanks Rob 🎄
I am rereading Lord of the Rings. As a watcher of this channel I got a good laugh when Galadriel was handing out parting gifts, and said when she gave Frodo a glowing vial: "May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out." I didn't see that line coming!
It got me too lol
Does the lord of the rings have a C8G too?
@@caroltenge5147 no Carol he has a pro sp 36
Nice review bro 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers BOF!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV 🍻🍻
Nice 1 I like this brand and model
Amazing
You,e doing the best videos of all reviewers both videoaddeting and informative plus you often have a little comic/scary twist in your videos i love it. Are you going to or, have you reviewd any of the Nitecore NU series rechargeable headlamps? i want to buy one to my 65 years old mother to use when she walk the dog. she wanted a small lightweight and easy headlamp - she now wearing a Shilhunt h02.
I have 8 lights on the way for review but no headlamps 😢
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Do some headlamps! Reach a bigger target market 🥺
Where the heck did you get those sound effects XD cool video
I wonder if this new version of the C8G puts out the same amount of light as the older version. I just bought the new version to compare but it's been raining too hard the last 2 nights.
did you ever compare them? post results please.....
Świetny materiał brawo
boa lanterna, estou indeciso entre ela e a convoy m11
You can also ramp lower in eco mode
Qual a melhor C8G ou SP35?
Review convoy s21b (sst40 & osram) And compare it with s21a.. 🙏🙏
hello, on the sofirn c8g flashlight which led illuminates and opens the light beam, the xhp35hi or the sst40 more? thanks for answering
SST40 is usually driven a little harder
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV which of the lanterns has a greater area of illumination, and offers a better quality of brightness, the sofirn c8g xhp35 or the sofirn c8g sst40?
I'm torn between this and the Wowtac A4. Any helpgul suggestions?
The button on this isn't very responsive but performance is good
how is that light so fugly for only 2000 lumens?
I do abandoned coal mine exploration and love my Sofirns
I have 3 Sofrin's with usb charging on lamps themselve. I twist the bottoms loose to disconnect battery when not in use. Good value torches.
Thanks i was looking for this info.
Sofirn...Best quality for the money.
Yup.
If button breaks use your belly button.
Sofirn C8G or C8L?
Which flashlight shines better Sofirn c8g or Sofirn if22a?
IF22A beats it for throw and flood
what red filters would work for this???
The convoy c8+ red filter would work
This seems to be great, does it have memory?
Yes.
Please make comparison Sofirn C8G vs Nitecore MT27, I like long throw bugdet price 🙂
Nitecore aren't budget!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Sorry I meant NC MH27, 'coz in my country the price not different so much 😊
Lanterna forte 👍
Sofirn c8g xhp35 hi or sofirn c8g sst40 which the better...
I imagine performance to be pretty similar. I'd probably pick XHP35 at a push.
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Just me but i prefer the cooler light from the SSt 40 anyday it looks to give a crisp edge to objects
Why do it use led chip xhp35 hi?
For throw
Why the flash light always turning off and on in 15:00
Oh i see, u absolutely hear the music of the video in earphone so u can make the content like this, great idea
When to test astrolux ft02s ?
Very soon!!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV Ok i'm waiting. :)
I have de cree xhp35 hi led model.
Hi amount all which is the best sofirm flashlight most bright?
Think there's a Q8 Pro with 11,000 lumens!
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV tks,bro.
Does this light get hot in high mode not turbo mode ?
Yes after a while
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV thanks for responding , I bought the If25 but It get hot in less than a minute I’m high mode I don’t know if that’s normal or if is defective
@@quientpregunto7362 dont worry, if its hot its good ,thats show the heat transfer works well. if its cold, then you should worry. its normal, since its body is very compact, you feel the heat directly. with if25A it will be more heat. where i live, in the low land ( near the equator) its a different story.. well, just compromise. enjoy, its a nice torch. Greetings from Indonesia,🇮🇩🔦
@@relayerrelayer8226 thanks ... 👍🏽
That C8G had better performace than I though, they beam pattern is so similar to the FT03 xhp 50.2.

What is ANSI?
Output at 30 seconds
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV is that mean after 30 seconds at the mode?
@@emirrhaziq6567 30 seconds of Turbo
I prefer Convoy S11 for a walking light. Half the price too.
I prefer convoy s21a
The Convoy and the Sofirn are almost the same price as long as you don't buy the Sofirn at Amazon. I bought mine for instance with a 21700 battery for around $25 shipped. That said, I also have the Convoy S11 (I think I might have too many flashlights...) and it does definitely make for a better walking light. The C8G is not really meant for that. I use mine for searching the woods from my deck.

@@FLASHAHOLIC_TV ..now thats eerie..🐒
просмотрите KR4 noctigon, помогите пожалуйста ... хе-хе
не самый лучший фонарь от "софирн" (моё мнение ), хотя со стабилизацией всё в порядке , да и сам свет очень неплох (не считая цветовой температуры , она должна быть потеплее) , не нравится он мне и конец )))
А какой лучше из Софирнов?
Хочется конкретики больше. Стабилизация точно была на старых версиях с xhp35.
Как здесь, с сст40 непонятно. Люменик измерений ещё не делал. Какой по Вашему получше есть у Софирна именно с дальнобоя? Или вы флудеры (заливники) на 3 диодах считаете получше?
Sofirn C8G на XHP35 HI,очень удачная модель, для охоты, рыбалки подходит.
