Sofirn SP10A V2.0

Hi Pennzy, can you post a picture of this protective ring around the switch please? Thx!

Sorry but I donā€™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.

Iā€™m afraid that you donā€™t want to post the result as itā€™s not aesthetically pleasing. Iā€™m I correct?

To upload a picture you can use igmur.com and post a link here :wink:

No, I just donā€™t want to upload pictures to the cloud.

Sofirn SP10 V2.0 in blue color.

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

I see that the V 2.0 has a SMO reflectorā€¦ Thatā€™s a drawback for me.

My v2 does not have an SMO reflector, itā€™s the same OP as the earlier versions.

Iā€™m not very happy with the v2. I bought one because another one of my UT01ā€™s stopped working with 14500s. I was looking forward to the improved mode spacing.

I didnā€™t realize that theyā€™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 Iā€™m reading the instructions right, it doesnā€™t have mode memory when used with AA cells.

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

Thatā€™s good to know. However, on their store on AE itā€™s figured with SMO reflectorā€¦

Thatā€™sā€¦ nasty. :frowning:

Thank you for the warning.

I had all versions, V2 is hopeless, I do not recommend itā€¦

- Starts with Low, WTF?

- The mode memory sometimes does not work at 14500

  • One 14500 was discharged to 2.2V

Interesting. The blue v2 is pictured with a SMO reflector, but the description says it has an OP reflector. The black is pictured with an OP reflector.

theres a lightning deal right now its $12.99, ends in 4 hours

Amazon

And now there is a $3-off coupon, which works out to $11.99.

I got my today (finally!).
I use only AA, so canā€™t comment on 14500, but starting with low (5lm) instead of eco (0.5lm) is a big disappointment. :person_facepalming:
One needs to click (slowly) 4 times to get to Eco mode. Unfortunately 4 quick continuous clicks turns flashlight to lock-out.

I have previous version as well and itā€™s perfect EDC :heart_eyes: , as it starts - according to manual - with Moonlight (1lm) witch to me looks more like 0.5lm or even less.
Now Iā€™m wondering who in my family or among my friends will be the victim and is going to get it from me as a gift. :innocent:

The ML is so low on mine I have to check if it is on or not . What do you use it for?

My wife appropriated it to use during the nights not to wake up our baby girl.
And you are right - during the day itā€™s hard to tell if itā€™s on or not :wink:

So I received v2.0 today. After one hour playing with it, the light fell on the ground - and was dead :person_facepalming:
One single ( and first one) fall on the ground! :rage: Unbelievableā€¦
It looks like Sofirn did nothing with ā€œImpact resistance issuesā€ Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

Seems to be a pattern. Check your LED . Mine came off without dropping it . Good news, Sofirn stands behind their product. Give them a message.

Is this a pricing mistake or are they trying to get rid of the product? Seems lower than ever at $7.30 on sofirnā€™s AliExpress store. I picked up a few but I havenā€™t been following the threads on this version so I hope thereā€™s nothing wrong with theseā€¦

8,21$ now.
I think you are right and they are getting rid of the V 2.0 batchā€¦
