Thanks for trying out Aliexpress. The current problem gives me good excuse to say good bye to Ali. Never liked the site anyway because they seem trying to download the entire web site when all you want is one product info.
No issue when ordering from Sofirn’s AliExpress store. Just added in a few of the SP10Bs in the cart for the 11.11 event.
My latest order of a red SP10B and SP33 just arrived at my customs, when the package was dispatched on the 30 October from China.
Should take delivery on Monday (now is a Friday). And my past orders from Sofirn were also promptly delivered.
Looking forward to SP36 for sale soon (with steel bezel…XPL Hi……Andruil….and a good price….hopefully).
I wonder if the new version will still have the same driver design with the side switch attached to the driver board. If this is the case again, modding potential (for a driver swap) is rather low.
Nah, I don't think so, just in case there's a more powerful boost driver to push the XHP50.2 harder than the stock version. It might also be difficult to disassemble the light with such a special design. I'm just thinking of the DQG Tiny 3rd 26650 with its extreme sensitive switch that could break if you start to unscrew the tube from its head.
There are much better 26650 hosts available. I’ve used the Supfire L5-S and X-17. They have really nice switches with two leds, 20mm mcpcb and 28mm drivers.
This Sofirn I plan to keep stock.
I dont think there has ever been an issue with the switch breaking from removing the battery tube. The few that happened was from people just pressing too hard. Mine is still fine. It’s a very small number of people that had this problem.
I like the old SP33 for its 3V led and nice current controlled driver, although with a ok but less than perfect user interface. It produces a very nice somewhat throwy beam (it has a sliced high CRI LH351D led now, at 3500K) and has good runtimes because of the chunky battery.
I have an SP33 inbound (for $20 why not amiright?) with the intention of creating a replacement 3v led driver for it (based on the TA circuit design) once it arrives!
@ djozz, obviously it’s not gonna be a thrower but just for completeness could you measure CD on the light you have the sliced lh351d in please sir?
