Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

If he ever comes to Australia I hope he brings his dad. :slight_smile:

I’d love to pay the Moose family and the sacked assistants a visit you if it ever comes to visiting Australia!

Great video djozz, your son did it right…. no mercy. :+1: … :wink:

I had a SP 10B emitter come off for no reason except probably cold soldered . Sofirn is very easy to deal with. Sent me a new light , reflowed the old one . Stainless steel frying pan on medium heat electric stove top burner and a little solder paste works great. Vesture of Blood video gave me confidence to do it.

Dropped mine on the (wood laminate) floor after I stood up from the couch. No problems so far.

So, after the story on the OP, I ordered a new driver for my SP10B host and a “new” SP10A!

Sofirn sent it well packed (on a cardboard box, with foam) and with soldered wires as I asked on the order message! So, THANKS SOFIRN!!! :+1:

I now have 2 x SP10 (A & B) with the same UI:

- click for ON, always on the firefly mode

- when ON, single click to change modes (FF > L > M) and “long” press for OFF;

- double click for Turbo

- triple click for Strobe

  • from OFF, 4 fast clicks to Lock/unlock
    EDIT: Long press from OFF goes to the last regular mode used before shutting OFF

Soooo, I’m happy to have these small lights again, with this - for me - incredibly nice UI :smiley:
Nice work, again, Sofirn :wink:

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention that I dropped both lights, accidentally, while they were ON and both kept working :sunglasses:

MascaratumB, you are saying that now, the UI starts always on firefly mode?

My blue and red one also start on firefly, no memory. I like that but I know that is not everyone’s UI.

Djozz, thank you for the answer and for the previous test. :slight_smile:
I am still waiting for my 2 SP10Bs :slight_smile:

As in djozz situation, my new SP10 A and the SP10 B I put a new driver, both start at FF mode!
But I don’t know if they will have the same UI.
I guess that there was a transition period meanwhile where different UIs co-existed and were sold. My guess is that the “final” UI will be like I described above, but it’s just a guess as well! :+1:

Edited my post above!!

Sofirn SP10A has memory for the last regular mode used, if we long press from OFF :wink:

I made a mistake and member pennzy alerted for that here !

Sorry if I induced you in mistake :person_facepalming:

Same case for the SP10B?
Thanks!

Yup! The driver I bought and put on the SP10B does the same thing !!
This UI is similar to the one used on Olight S1R Baton (and maybe other Olight lights)!!! :smiley:

EDIT: It is not the same, sorry! What I meant was that the access to Firefly, Turbo, Strobe and last regular mode used are the same. The operation (clicks vs press & hold) are different :person_facepalming:

Confirmative, there is memory after all, and direct access from off to both lowest and turbo :+1:
Turbo is not memorised though, instead it goes to the last mode before turbo was activated.

And I found a small bug, when in any mode including turbo, long press=off, only when turbo is activated from off, a long press does nothing, instead a short press=off. After trying a first long press, a second long press does switch it off again.

Same thing here! Not sure if that is a bug though, but I noticed the same :wink:
I like this UI :smiley:

That little quirk is annoying .

Oops.

Was in the can, had shorts I was changing out of, SP10A in the pocket, just slung them over the shower-curtain-rod. Seconds later, >boom!<, it hits the tile floor from about 6’/2m high.

Acted finicky at first, but I did do a TCLO before, so after snugging up the tail and the head, tried it again, and it worked perfectly.

Whew!

“Slap-therapy” - Made me laugh Lightbringer! I have to admit that I’ve done this type of therapy on many electronics in the past with success.

Now there’s an image . :smiley:

no.1 mechanic’s trick . That and a little swearing .
