Sofirn SP10A V2.0

[MascaratumB]

Is it normal to have higher runtimes on Li-Ion batteries than Ni-MH?
Honest question!!

[korkfoto]

Does it have the stepdown after 3 minutes in Turbo mode?
Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, it has a stepdown after 3 minutes in Turbo mode.
Considering the stable in circuit and lifetime of LED emitter, the lumen max was adjusted to 550lm.

I picked this light up when it first released. Still waiting for arrival. Normally do not pick up small lights but like Sofirn to take a chance.

Looks fine to me

Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

Both SP10B’s have arrived and how nice they are! But I promised a drop test, I want to know too if my units are prone to failure. With the kind assistence of my 7-year old son, here it is. I’m happy to say that although the drops did cause mode changes and switching off, both lights kept working fine. [Droptest Sofirn SP10B]

Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

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.

You will like it . I have one from 6mo. ago and it is my work light. Small enough to carry unnoticed and bright enough for close to medium distances. I put a protective ring around the switch so it never activates in the pocket and helps index the button .

Sorry but I don’t have what it takes to post pictures . I can tell you what I did though. Simply glued a stainless steel washer over the button. Harbor Freight has assortment packs of stainless and brass washer that seem to match up in size well.I could email a picture if you want.

I’m afraid that you don’t want to post the result as it’s not aesthetically pleasing. I’m I correct?

I just bought a blue SP10B (V1) :person_facepalming:

[korkfoto]

I see that the V 2.0 has a SMO reflector… That’s a drawback for me.

[eas]

My v2 does not have an SMO reflector, it’s the same OP as the earlier versions.

I’m not very happy with the v2. I bought one because another one of my UT01’s stopped working with 14500s. I was looking forward to the improved mode spacing.

I didn’t realize that they’d gotten rid of the option to turn on to moon that the last generation had. Now it just comes up in whatever the last normal mode it was in before it was turned off. Oh, but only when using 14500s. If I’m reading the instructions right, it doesn’t have mode memory when used with AA cells.

Be forewarned. They gave a mode and took away a useful UI affordance.

That’s good to know. However, on their store on AE it’s figured with SMO reflector…

That’s… nasty.

Thank you for the warning.

[maba]

I had all versions, V2 is hopeless, I do not recommend it…

- Starts with Low, WTF?

- The mode memory sometimes does not work at 14500
