Waiting for next batch [AMZ US Available Now] $49.99 Sofirn SP36 Anduril Version

with my AMUTORCH X9 3*SST40 with one 26650 cell i get around 6000 lumen, so I think 8000 lumen in a Q8 are possible, maybe a bit more, but its not a big jump from the original, you are right….

PS: but tint and beam of this SST40 is very nice, the most XHP50 lights I own, have a more or less ugly beam and tint /bluish spot with greenish ring around

If Sofirn offer a Q8 with SST40 abd USB-c Carging port in the price range of the original, I definetely buy another one!!

Crap, I recently ordered a SP36… guess I could ditch that one when it comes in. In!

How about 6* sst40 ?

Will try asking cree for 3V XHP50.2

I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to use 6 instead of 4 emitters in the Q8. First, you need to redesign the reflector for 6 emitters (= causing additional costs). Second, you will lose throw as a 6-LED reflector will certainly have a smaller aperture per LED, resulting in a floodier beam. Even though I like the idea of a 14,000-16,000 lumen Q8 with XHP50.2 I’d rather prefer a Q8 with 4x dedomed SST-40 5.000K with approx. 7,500-8,000 lumen output and a very nice beam profile. As an alternative for people who like more flood and a warmer tint you could also choose the Lumileds Luxeon V 4.000K 70CRI. The advantage for those 4040/5050 emitters is that Neven (www.led4power.com) has appropriate boards available already.

Oh please get rid of the ugly green switch leds .I'm so sic of stupid green buttons I could kill someone .

Don't test me ...we have guns !

Oh yes.

Make it light blue if possible, or even yellow if needed for higher efficiency.

Green LEDs are too efficient, meaning they seem way too bright.

The switch LEDs have 4 modes, and one of those modes is “off”.

It seems some like 90CRI. Boss of sofirn is trying to get 90CRI but that’s more difficult than 80CRI. Will definitely get some but don’t know when and how many.

But it can be used in all XPL series light, right?

Yes, since it shares the same 3535 soldering footprint.

Maybe it’s worth a shot if you try to contact our BLF member “AEDe” from Moscow, Russia. He sold a lot of LH351D LEDs in different tints, flux bins and chromatic bins. Maybe he or someone at e-Neon (his supplier) could assist Sofirn to get the proper tints and chromatic bins that are known to be below the BBL, hence not green but rosy.

How easy/difficult is it for Chinese companies to get things from Russia? I could imagine that from history Russia and China have very good trade relations.

Interested in 2 x 90 CRI

Thank you!

【UPDATE 1st April】test results of two prototypes of SP36 Anduril Version with 4* LH351D 5000K 80CRI

#1(HD Batteries): max 5650LM; tint:5270K; CRI:83.9 ; distance:352m
#2(Normal sanyo Batteries): max 5300LM; tint:5130K ; CRI:83.6 ; distance:337m

Thank you for the information but sadly it’s not easy to get things from Russia. Last time we purchased the Russia headlamp, it took from late 2018 to early 2019 to arrive. :person_facepalming:

Actually sofirn can get samsung leds but it hard to purchase accurate tint zone, it comes reel by reel. Sofirn need to separate them. Then better tint sell well, what about these tints not so good? Sell to muggles?

this beam was taken by Huawei smart phone. It doesn’t show the same as be seen via naked eyes but can take it as reference.
