The Sofirn Q8 Plus is highly favored by many enthusiasts for its ability to emit a powerful 16,000-lumen beam that reaches over 1,800 feet. Despite being made of aluminum, this flashlight is quite compact compared to similar models, making it convenient for storing in a bag or glove box for emergency use. Its 1800-lumen setting can last for 10 hours, providing car headlight brightness throughout the night. However, if you opt for the full 16,000-lumen output, the battery life is significantly reduced to around two and a half hours.

As of the time of writing, the price is $127, with a 20% off coupon available. In terms of additional features, it is IPX8 waterproof, capable of withstanding “continuous submersion” in water deeper than a meter. While the exact depth and time specifications are not provided by the manufacturer, it is expected to function without issues in less than a meter of water, as long as retrieved within 30 minutes. Some Amazon reviewers have commended its durability, referring to it as a “tank,” suggesting it can withstand tough hiking trips or other strenuous activities.
