The thread you linked to has my video actually showing the test of the step down and lumens lol so that must mean I own one. I also sell them.
I love the Sofirn lights, I sell almost every model but I’m still going to test and post the results.
I’ve heard about that issue on the Convoy’s yet I’ve built and sold over a hundred flashlights using that driver and haven’t seen it myself. Just like ToyKeeper says that it happens randomly on some but not all.
Why do you have such a sour attitude? I’m only reporting my tests. How is it different than a review on pros and cons?
You sound like a Sofirn fan boy that can’t handle hearing a little criticism.
Maukka posted that his 3B tint was likely a 4C by mistake which tested 720 lumens on my same light. The Cool white variant tested at 860 - 900 lumens on mine which varied between different builds.
I report on Convoy, Astrolux, BLF among others just the same. I sell heaps of brands.
BearBreeder I agree the lumen wars are pointless and there’s little real-world value in the 700 lumens vs 1000 lumens. Having said that, it’s valuable for people to know what they’re getting and how a given company’s claims stack up objectively. No need to sling mud at other companies though.
Funtastic Thanks for measuring and reporting, especially since most people have no way to verify the lumen claims.
Quite a few on BLF have the same test equipment sold by Texas Ace and their numbers are very close. Same goes for Matt’s who’s recent equipment tested almost the same.
It doesn’t matter what light they’ve tested, it’s all the same because it’s properly calibrated. If I wasn’t confident in my test numbers it wouldn’t make sense to sell my lights below the stated rating.
You could jump on over to Maukka’s thread and inquire from the one who sells the calibration lights.
It doesn’t have to be a major issue, this thread is about the SC31B so pros and cons can be mentioned.
I didn’t think this thread was about Convoy, I suggest you read the title. Would you prefer I mention every single brand and fault that currently exists on a thread about the Sofirn SC31?
I thoroughly test every driver before it gets installed. With over 2000+ positive reviews on my store with no neutral or negative, I certainly do the best for my buyers.
At 3 volts it drops to eco so at least it has a warning.
Well….cleaned my lumen tube and re-calibrated it. Used a brand new 30Q and get 815 lumens at 30 sec. Will change my initial post.
