[Sofirn Lightning Deal] Sofirn SP32AV2.0 only 20.99 on AMZ us

Interested, gold.

What’s new with the v2? A comparison table would be welcome.

My original SP32 is my daily carry, only problem is having it turn on if
I carelessly put it into my back pocket without locking out the tailcap.

The v2 has an* illuminated* switch. + Advanced Temp Regulation.

PS: “$1x.79” could mean anything between $11.79 and $19.79, I guess.

Please go low, that will increase the popularity of the deal.

PS, here’s LuxPerpetua’s review of the SP32v2: Review Sofirn SP32A V2.0

I don’t have a SP32 (A)…… but the SP 32A V2.0 I do have does not have a recessed switch at all. It sticks up above everything.

This is not a complaint, just an observation. Manual lockout is my friend. :wink:

Teacher, I saw a comparison photo somewhere on a review (there are quite a few of these) over past few days and it was remarking how the switch had been recessed vs older model. In retrospect, maybe it was complaining about the v2 switch as sticking up. I have the original sp32 and to my surprise its switch seems pretty flush in my sample… However, some reviewers have complained about their switch activating in their pockets. Makes one naturally assume that the improved version addresses this issue but apparently not. I will edit my incorrect assumption. Cheers!

LOL…so if the v2 has a high rise switch, then it addresses the issue of not being able to find it in the dark. Win some lose some.

Carry on. :laughing:

No problem Streamer. I do not have the original SP32 to compare, but the V2.0 does stick up. That is really my only negative with the light…… and it is a small negative. :wink:
I really like it. :+1:
Have a good one my friend. :beer:

:smiley: …… Exactly!! :smiley: … :+1:

Yep. I wish flashlight manufacturers would focus on the need to lock the tailswitch out.

A detent (a “click point” would be helpful, so you could feel exactly when it locked out when being unscrewed.

Even better, a push-and-trurn feature to return the light to operation.

Nothing’s quite as embarassing for a flashlight geek as having someone say “Hey fella, your butt is lit up ….”

Hank, the Convoy S2 clicky tailcap fits the Sp32 perfectly and will function as a lockout for you. I tried it with my Convoy S2 and S5 tailcaps. It works! If you have one, try it. If not. Oh well….Cheers! :slight_smile:

1 Gold only. Thanks, and hope the pricing is low.

Thanks Streamer, I ’ve never heard anything about Convoy having a S2 clicky tailcap. Nothing like that for sale at the Convoy store.

I copied your note to the “What legoes with ….” compilation thread: What Legoes with What? for any later reference.

Thank you Streamer, that is good info!! :beer:

Sorry,Was thinking everyone probably had an S2 Convoy flashlight… :innocent: Then you could just swap that tailcap to your Sofirn.

Maybe Sofirn can implement the same feature, however it works it’d be vary handy to enable locking out reliably.

They have it in SP31. Link here - Amazon.com

Interested in 1 gold only.

Compared to the SP32A, the SP32A v2.0 has:

(Sofirn really should cut down on the model suffixes, decide on one way to iterate, and stick to it)

+ATR

+Battery indicator in switch

+CR123A compatibility

+other unspecified changes improve reliability

+Gold and Silver finishes

-v2.0 driver loses the electronic lockout

-Reduced output in Turbo mode in exchange for longer run time and stability

Fine light, good service, but like I said above, when even light enthusiasts have trouble sorting out all the models and their differences, it's a problem.

I received a gold SP32AV2.0 today. Shucks, I did not anticipate this group buy.

But let me encourage those of you who are interested in this light with some observations:

What I like about it:

Looks very nice – a rich, titanium gold.

The build quality is rugged. Feels like it could be passed down a generation.
Nice balance between flood and throw.
Bright. One of the brighter single 18650 EDCs out there.
It retains its brightness on Turbo much longer than a D4. I did a simple test, starting both on turbo simultaneously with fresh identical batteries. While the D4 started out far brighter, after 30 seconds, the SP32 v2 was much brighter as the D4 had stepped down 5 times.
It is slower to heat up and does not get as hot as a D4.
Very pocketable.
Easy to switch between step and ramp modes: From off, press and hold 3 seconds.
The disorienting strobe is full turbo brightness.
Battery level indicator light embedded in side switch.
Battery charge lasts a long time.
Takes any kind of 18650 - protected, unprotected, flat top or button top.

What I would like better:

A warmer color emitter; this one is 5500K, a little on the cool side of neutral white.
The switch light stayed on for 30 minutes instead of 5 seconds.

All in all, this light is a winner - as is. (Not that you couldn’t mod it better!)
