The 5000K and 6500K refer to the color temperature, aka tint. You may be familiar with these when it comes to the standard light bulbs you use in your residence.

5000K is often known as "Daylight White" because it's similar to the light outdoors at noon on a bright, sunny day. In other words, this is a clear white light.

6500K is often known as "Cool White;" it is more intense and has a slightly bluish tone.

In my opinion, if you're buying a flashlight to show off, the 6500K will probably look cooler. For regular usage, the 5000K is much more practical because it's easier on the eyes for most people.

I have the plus version and like it a lot. It probably has the highest lumen output of all my flashlights. My daughter calls it "the power of the sun" when it's on.

Thanks for sharing. I'm kicking myself for missing the Sofirn Q8Plus (5000K) with batteries included for $56.05 with free shipping. I don't think we'll be getting that deal again anytime soon, but I'll wait for the Q8Plus to be discounted a bit.


Take care,

Jesus this thing is a beast. I've been looking for an 18650 light with output charging but wonder if this thing is just too chonky to be practical. I would definitely use it on camping trips
The nice thing about this is it's 4x 18650, is insane brightness as well as longevity.

I had the same question about tint. Scroll about halfway down this post's item and you'll see a photo of the tint difference. 6500K is white. 5000K is warm white (more yellowish).

I'm looking at it as well. I think it is a little cheaper than it was last time, unless you some how got the one with battery for the similar price as the one without. 6500k vs 5000k is a personal preference. I like 5000k cause it is less blue.

Yes I meant plus. Thanks I edited my post
Is there any difference for the plus aside from being slightly brighter?

Just to note: Temperature calibration on Anduril flashlights above 5000 lumens is mandatory if you want it to actually perform as expected.

It's not difficult to do, but it must be done so the flashlight doesn't thermal throttle prematurely.

If you have patience for the Anduril os, it can do a lot of cool stuff, including firmware mods.

Unfortunately, all that stuff is locked behind a combination of Morse code button presses and the manual is one big flow chart.

Be sure to order the diffuser for the SP36 too, since it's usually $5 to ship on its own.

Trying to DIY one is pretty impossible, since nothing off the shelf is the right diameter or able to handle the heat.

These flashlights have overheating protection built in, with a default limit of 45 degrees Celcius. So they'll get hot, but they shouldn't burn you.

The protection also means that realistically, they "only" output about 1500 lumens after a short period of time. The 11000 lumen number is only maintained for a matter of a few seconds at most, then it goes down to 3500 lumens or so after 30 seconds, and slowly goes down from there.
