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:
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)!!!
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.
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.
Cleaning my bicycle this morning and using the 10B (whit 14500 Soshine 900 mAh white/yellow inside).
I was holding it in one hand and by mistake I slightly tapped it whit an allen key partly in the side of the tailcap, touching the clip as well.
The flashlight changed the mode from medium to a… let’s say, intermediate mode, more powerful than low (not moonlight).
I put the light in medium mode and I slapped it in the same manner with the same allen key and…the light started to blink regularly, with steady frequency.
Tapped it again and kept the blinking, but changed the intensity of the light - to low.
Tapped it the third time and it shut off.
No problem to restart it and it works ok.
I tried tot re-enact the experiment but it failed. Just a little flicker in the light.
Sounds like they are potentially too troublesome for me.
I have preferred AAA for EDC, but I am trying my old BLF Saber 1A. The only other single AA have ia a Quark Mini AA, except the SK 68. I would not consider the SK 68 an EDC, except in a tool kit.
The Saber, Thrunite T10, is not bad in my pocket.

In the few months I have been carrying mine I have dropped it a couple of times, all while off. I have had no problems with it and am really enjoying having it in my pocket all the time.
I have had one (now two) SP10a/b since the beginning of the year. I’ve dropped them both more than once without problems.
I did the same with an SF14, and the emitter broke loose of the MCPCB. They sent me a replacement part. Since installing it, I haven’t had any more problems with impact resistance.
I guess I had better change my practice of dropping a new light from about 4 ft to a carpeded floor. I accidently droppes a Quark miniAA on cncrete, but it did not have an effect that I ever noticed.
