I have a quick question about the Wurkkos ts25. I noticed the switch is similar or the same as the Sofirn sp33. Can the switch light be set to stay on or is it just a battery level indicator?
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 I believe it's just a momentary battery indicator. I will double check when I get home and if something changes I will let you know.
@@smotheredchrome I was afraid that was the case. That is the only gripe I have with the sp33 v3. I can never find the switch in the dark especially with gloves on. I was just about to order one and I thought I would check with you first. Thanks for the info bud.
I saw a video from someone in the RC crowd stating that the Molicel P45B (aka Epoch(P45B)) is the best around right now for 21700's. He stated that they hold a higher voltage throughout more of their discharge curve, and they can be used for 5x more cycles than some other 21700's currently out there. And they don't get as hot because of their very low internal resistance (best measured on my Xtar VC8 Plus, I find). Here's the video: th-cam.com/video/pgns5UD2jw4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 It's on AliExpress I have never heard of them having scam issues, but I will definitely find out my order is still processing.
11:26 Great channel, great videos very informative and honest. Quick question did you build your lumen tube or did you buy it if so from where? If possible and if you have time thanks again for the great videos.
So, you never explained your testing setup, and how you got to conclude lumens of light output of the flashlight (total output) from your lux meter which just reads the intensity of light at a point on a surface. It would have to be over a one square meter surface for lux to equal lumens and I don't see a square meter of space that you are measuring.
There was a $1 coupon when you add to the cart but for 33 out the door great value IMHO, look at your arrival date and I believe it says united states on the end of the title.
@@smotheredchrome Yep, says Jan. 13th. I have several Sofirn lights and have never had one shipped from United States, usually takes a month to get here. Best deal I have gotten in a long time, thanks again.
No problem my friend appreciate you 🙏 I'm glad you got that deal my friend and same here I have never had such a quick arrival date, bonus on top of excellent price 👌
I wasn't able to find this specific listing, but I bet people just bought them all already. Anyways, thanks for the video and letting me know! I hope you have a great week! 😎
@@Tommyconley Thank you, I found it now. I don't know how I feel about "Shop1102528247" store though. Especially because they have "0.0% Positive Feedback" and seem to be a pop-up store.
@@GeneticEngineer I'm more worried about receiving it and it being subpar or some kind of knock off, which would be weird, but not impossible. The price is just too good to be true, so I suspect something is up. That's all, I may give it a shot.
It's 100% a scam. In Europe it shows that it ships from Germany and costs like 30 euros with free shipping and shows only 7 left. There's no way this new shop on aliexpress has this great of an offer with local storages in USA and Germany. And all other items for sale on this NEW STORE have a 55% discount. And ALL shipping options are FREE, including premium shipping options which other sellers charge 20-30-40 euros for. Prepare to ask aliexpress to refund you :) 100% scam
Thank you my friend I appreciate the info, I just checked my order and everything looks good AliExpress received the funds and waiting on shipment, if this kinda scam happens on AliExpress I've never heard of it and would be very disappointed in them to allow scammers to scam there customers. If this does turn out to be a scam I will definitely address and apologize for sending my friends to a scam, but as of now everything looks normal from AliExpress and I order alot from them, I will definitely update everyone with the final outcome, appreciate you for the info my friend.
Hoping it's the real deal but I would be shocked if that were the case, because it has a cumulus of scam-like indicators. Since aliexpres is a business that cares for its customers , in the end, all will be good for the buyers. Best wishes to all!
@@smotheredchrome I just saw this store has zero reviews from customers. I hope they are legit. But I have reason to question it. Might want to be careful in the future when recommending deals
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 I've been recommending lights from AliExpress from the beginning, if for some reason it is a scam, AliExpress will refund you your money back I'm pretty sure AliExpress is not letting scammers on there site.
@@smotheredchrome I went ahead and preemptively canceled my order. I already have a Q8 plus, so this is not worth the risk of having to deal with a dispute with this unknown / questionable seller.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 I do apologize my friend, it does look a little shady as the days pass, my order is still processing and I will give them a couple more days and if nothing I'll request a refund.
Let us know if it arrives sometimes there is scam salers and they dont send what you paid for. Thats a new saler he barely started saleing so looks suspicious.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 I don't think AliExpress will allow any fakes or scams if there is a issue AliExpress will take care of it.
No problem my friend appreciate you 🙏 AliExpress refunded me, I'm not sure how they fully operate but at least I know if somehow I get scammed on AliExpress they will step in and refund there customer and that goes along way with me, appreciate you my friend 👍
what are you kidding me i didnt know i was aloud to ask if you could do a review on something we like lol and yeah i deffinitly wanted to see these two lights go head to head in a video with differnet batteries lol so yeah this is perfect i love. i should be getting my 5000k Q8 plus version in like 3 weeks from now lol i hate waiting
dam brother thats crazy cool deal i got an astrolux EC03 for only 40 dollars when it was on sale like 2 years ago and i love it lol i litterly dont use my lights at all only the cheap shit ones and i hord my good ones for special times lol anyways thanks for another amazing videos
this is one of my favorite the Q8 PLUS I THINK ITS THE BEST VALUE FOR LUMENS AND COMPACT.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Will flat tops work in the pro ?
Thanks for letting us know! Already have a few Sofirn torches including a Q8 Pro but at this price I had to get another👍
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Congrats on your new light my friend enjoy it when it arrives, great price at $32

Thank you my friend I appreciate the info 👍 🙏
Yes I would have to agree, they outperform my 40t on a regular basis.
are the p42s the way to go for the plus? I set my plus to full throttle which was 1 like you do. How long could I leave it on until it gets melted?
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
I doubt it will melt, the ATR will kick in and keep it from melting.
Just ordered one. Thanks for the heads up! Already have an SP36 BLF, but can’t pass up 11k lumens at that price.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Congrats on your new light my friend enjoy it when it arrives.
Great video! I would love to see you review the Lumintop Rattlesnake.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
I will definitely look into it.
Just order mine too but the seller seems very sketchy. Hope it’s not a scam

Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment and kind words 🙏
I bought my lumen tube through Jackson Lee Hawaii.
Great info and thanks for the battery comparisons and lumen output never thought about that.
I find for me that 5000K temp seems to be more useful.
Hi Sir could you please, compare this 2 with Wurkkos TS32 and DL06 this 2 also runs 3x21700, temp, and lumen drop results are target
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
I do not have the DL06 but will definitely look into it appreciate you🙏
Where you get that Q8 Pro ?

This lumens tube has filters that are calibrated to read accurate lumens.
Which is more powerful and what do you recommend, 8Q pro or 8Q Plus, thank you
Thanks for the heads up, got me another one for work.
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
You picked up for 29.55?

Wish I got theese for 30 bucks there like 80 or 100 now
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Honestly it was a scam add I have a video on it.
Great informative vid. Quick Qs how did you soup up the Q8 pro for it to run at 4.5v? mines only showing 3.6v when i do the 3 click check.
I calibrate the voltage, I have a video on how to do it.
Please if you receive the product from the seller and it is ok and in time please update us about it , i save it to watchlist for now ... 😉
Yes my friend when it arrives I will definitely let you know.
I had another code through capital one shopping that yielded me a shipped price of $27.23
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
That's even a better price 👌 alot of light for the money.

Q8 plus my friend by far.
It shows up as $85 on that site
There prices fluctuates all the time, I believe AliExpress is running sales check the sofirn store and other vendors.
Let us know if it arrives sometimes there is scam salers and they dont send what you paid for. Thats a new saler he barely started saleing so looks suspicious.

Yes 29.55 with coupon
I bought one in 5k for that price. Hopefully not a fake or something

Sounds like a great deal man! Is it confirmed to be legit?
