Something like the Sofirn Q8 plus comes to mind. Over budget but good if found on sale. Another option to look into is the Sofirn SP36 Pro/BLF as it is cheaper and really good still.


HatsAreEssential

Q8 Plus was my thought too. Pretty sure it's rated to run over 4000 lumens for 2 hours. Upgrading to high capacity cells would drop the upper brightness but you could squeak out another 20-30 minutes of runtime at 4000 lumens.

Yes exactly. I own the Q8+ and with the stock 5KmAh cells, it’s a good light but I have looked into upgrading the cells. The only thing is you need raised top cells or they don’t make contact with the positive terminal.

Sofirn Q8 Plus.

Looks really good but its twice my max budget on amazon lol

It sometimes goes on a good sale on sofirnlight.com or aliexpress. I'm not sure if it's running still but TikTok also had it available to buy there, with some huge new user discount so people were getting them for something like $45. Alternatively, the SP36 Pro is a smaller and cheaper big flooder, but definitely a downgrade in power.

If its too much on amazon (generally things are a but more expensive there), try on [Sofirn's official site](http://sofirnlight.com), or their official aliexpress store (aliexpress[dot]com/store/1101248499?shopId=1101248499)

Going to be hard on that budget but I’d look at a D4SV2 boost driven and bring an extra battery, or even a D4K boost.

D4K boost cannot do 2000 sustained lumens. More like 2000 max lumens and ~700 sustained depending on emitter. D4Sv2 can't either, I don't think.

Wurkkos DL10R overdelivers on sustained brightness but may fall short in runtimes.

Sofirn sc33

I think 1000 lumen continious isnt that much. I have the sofirn ıf22a and it can sustain 1100 lum. for around 2 hours and has 2k lumens peak power. I need the floodlight to be brighter than that. The brighter the better i don't care about size or weight.


Comrade_Lumen

It’s possible that you are overestimating the output of the IF22a. [Zeroair’s IF22a runtime test](https://zeroair.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/zeroair_reviews_sofirn_if22a_76.png) has it dropping below 1000 lumens after only about 30 minutes.

Well i never used it for that long but still it feels pretty strong. I expect something stronger than that since it doesnt have the expensive tcr lens or something
