Sofirn SC31 PRO, New Anduril Flashlight

I’m still thinking of getting one and swapping the emitter for something warmer and higher CRI. No idea how easy it is to take it apart. Otherwise this light looks like my perfect EDC.

Yup 6500k kinda too cold . I have several flashlights with various tints and prefer the warmer ones.
Not many flashlights at all , just a few :smiley: :smiley: , i still do not really know about CRI, but i know i like 4500k XPL HI.

My last last Sofirn light was also listed as 6500K but I estimate it was lower in reality. Still warmer options would be nice. I am glad to see Sofirn has been making more and more of their line with charging. This and the IF 25A both are on my future buy list.

Swapping the emitter! That’s a great idea !
i have never swapped any emitter at all but I have checked emitter on my Convoy S2+ , I wanted to try to swap the XML2 5000k with XPL HI 4500K , it seems simple enough to do, right?

If this SC31 Pro has somewhat similar emitter construction/installation to Convoy s2+, , i think it won’t be very difficult to swap (hahaha, LOL :smiley: , IDK, I’m totally newbie about flashlight components). SST40 4000K is available on Convoy store.

I’m sorry I meant SST40 5000K LED (individual part) is available on Convoy store.
I have ordered s2+ with SST40 5000k, currently it’s in shipping. The s2+ SST40 only available with 5000k and 6500k, that’s why I chose 5000k.

I ordered it the minute i saw it. There was no discussion here before release, only surprise.
Maybe one of the smallest Anduril lights.
Mine should be here tomorrow (as long as this shipping partner keeps moving)
A few have modded the SC31B to have Anduril / emitter swap already and have posted it was fairly easy to work on

Are there pre-made Anduril drivers available anywhere that fit SC31B?

Does anybody know how is the SST40 6500K tint? Does it look bad?

I had SC31 with XP-G3 LED, it is too purplish for me.

Except you need to replace the whole MCPCB since the pads are different.

One should read the whole thread before posting :person_facepalming: . Yes, the SST-40 fits.

I find it bit strange that Sofirn’s Ali store sells the SC31 Pro in two versions with different prices. One has no info about color temperature, the second one is described as 6500K. I asked Sofirn if they have one with 5000K, but they said 6000K only.

I almost jumped out of my shoes when I first saw it, for it has almost anything I would like in a compact flashlight. Cheap, side switch, can tailstand, has lanyard hole, Anduril UI and USB C charging. SST40 is also OK for me. But the cool white tint is a showstopper for me.

I put a new UV emitter in an SC31b. Bezel is glued but with a strap wrench and some elbow grease it can be removed. Don’t know about the SC31 Pro specifically but I bet its glued. However my guess is also that the SST40 looks fine.

As far as I can see this is the least expensive and smallest Anduril light out there, at least unmodded. You should be able to put a short tube and magnetic tail cap on it if you want. May have to get one.

Here’s a link to the SC31 Pro on Sofirn’s Aliexpress
It took me a minute to find it. $21.77 as of this posting, without battery, for a USB-C charging Anduril light. Not bad at all.

Actually, a couple pictures clearly show a Micro-USB port and Micro-USB cable. However, others are definitely USB-C. Weird.
Compare top-left and bottom-right:

Would SST20 be a simple swap/reflow from SST40 or are further mods needed?

5000k will available this week

4000K LEDs no stock and 5000K will be available this week, order from Aliexpress during 24th to 28th to get the discount shopping brand week price.

SC31 Pro 5000K

I ordered the 5000K version. I hope the tint is good.

I don’t think that’s an easy swap as SST40 uses a 5050 footprint while SST20 uses a 3535 footprint. You may need a different gasket to physically fit in the smaller LED.

I ordered the 6.5k version a few weeks ago from sofirnlight.com the day I saw it uploaded. I just now ordered the 5k version from Sofirn AE and paid the TOTAL BS FAKE TAX! :neutral_face:

but the coupon was for more than the tax so I begrudgingly pushed the order button

I really dig the idea of an EDC with Anduril onboard. My IF25a’s (I have both the 4k and 6.5k) have been in the pocket lately and they are great too- just a BIT hot at times :smiling_imp:

Just a note… my IF25a in the 6.5k version is closer to 5.8k and I REALLY like it outdoors where it can throw well for a little “pocket rocket”. But it’s definitely not 6.5k and I’m all about mistakes happening in my favor. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yup, that’s what I meant, replace the MCPCB assembly with another MCPCB with 5000K SST40 LED.

Good news now SC31 PRO can be ordered with SST40 5000k if you want warmer CT, Jackie has posted the link to that product.

Quoted info from McCatFace’s post above :
There’s a brief video about it on YouTube already: https://youtu.be/qXecbBQsbtQ

. I’ve watched that video and i think that SST40 6.5k is a little too cold to me. Then again, CT is kinda subjective right? Different person has different taste/preference .
