TK, any chance of getting multiples of just one model? In my case I’m interested in 21700 C8F.

Thanks,
Caleb

this is a really great deal, thanks to TK for putting these together

Yeah, thanks! My box arrived today… everything looks awesome! I’m loving the C8F and the SP36.

If you want a whole box of SP36 or SP32A V2.0, I can definitely help with that. :slight_smile:

Any NW Sp36?

Nope, I think these are all the Sofirn version, not the BLF version. The tint seems to be around 5300K to 5700K. They run NarsilM 1.2.

That’s exactly the same situation over here. Many of their flashlights were obviously returned because of those stickers on the battery‘s bottom side - especially with SP36 lights.

I have been discussing this issue with Sofirn and eventually created some kind of an illustration what to pay attention for before using the flashlight.

I strongly suggested to including this information into their manuals (at least in written text). But they did not want to put it into their manuals nor onto the cardboard boxes. The only place where you might find this information is on the Amazon page.

By including that small but essential info, Sofirn could reduce the tedium, and cost, of lost revenue.

Commerce redux. Economics 101.

Hey, whatever lights their slow boat. :slight_smile:

That is a great illustration Lux-Perpetua… :+1:
I find it sadly amazing Sofirn did not want to use it in the manuals or on the box. :person_facepalming: .
It could only help in reducing the number of needless returns……

I totally agree with you teacher. It’s sad they don’t want to take that advice. It would seemlessly fit into the „troubleshooting“ section of the manual, but it is what it is.

/\:+1: … Yep… you tried at least.
One can lead a horse to water, but ya’ can’t make him drink… :wink:

Do you have any lights that don’t work because the driver or leds are broken? If yes, I would be interested to get some as hosts for modding.

By the way, did you ever get an international shipping quote? Maybe fewer lights and less weight would be feasible? I wish, I would also get whole boxes of flashlights sent from Sofirn. :sunglasses: :smiling_imp:

I love those quotes! :+1: :smiley:
I got another one: „There is none so deaf as those who will not hear.“ :wink:

I do to!! :beer: . And there is truth in all of them. :wink:

Don’t write it off as absolute unwillingness. It often is a mix of language and cultural differences.
Last week I (YYY) asked a seller (XXX) if he could provide me with a retaining ring. This is what happened:

Hello XXX,

I have not heard from you in some days now.

Are you still looking? Please let me know.
If you are not looking any longer, that’s OK.
In that case I will try some other sources.

Best regards,
YYY

I reply you last time.

His second answer keeps me totally in the dark. As did his first answer.
Maybe he is just too polite, or too proud, to tell me he can’t help me.
IDK. Won’t ask him no more.

That might be the only place it’s needed. Generally, the more mainstream the shop, the lower the ratio of buyers who are connoisseurs. And a lot of people don’t read manuals. So a big store like Amazon is probably one of the best places to put extra info about basic things like battery covers.

But it could help to put a card about it into the box… similar to the card in the FW3A box about opening the front instead of the back.

I’m putting together a post with details about the remaining stock. It just takes a while because I have to check a bunch of lights again, move things around to make coherent sets, etc.

About international shipping, it really heavily depends on where it’s going to. And I’m not sure how batteries would work; it may be necessary to ship without any batteries.

Ok, a box of SP36 sounds good.

Yeah, way too many buyers won’t read the manual… especially Sofirn’s, since you dang near need a microscope to see that tiny writing. A separate piece of paper or card stock with large print would work, though. “WARNING! Blah blah blah…”

Caleb, good choice. I definitely like my SP36.
