    I will be up front. The bubble wrap that is typically around Sofirn lights was ripped when I opened it. When I initially opened the packaging to start this review, it fell. You will probably notice the mark on the top above the logo, but the reason I am telling you this, because I knew this Q8 Pro was an absolute chonk of a light by the heft of the box and the small divot it left on the floor of my office is proof. Frankly, I was a little disappointed but at the same time, even more excited to play with this light and get into the depths of what this can do. Now, for the actual light, this is a predecessor for the Q8, which had a different UI and FAR less output, but overall, the same general shape. With Anduril 2 over Narsil and over double the output of the outgoing model, this really should be a no-brainer. Let\u2019s get to it and see if these changes are for the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in the box are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
