For those who don’t like that 3000k warm white light of the SF36W. Sofirn dropped the price on the NW 5350k-5700k. Just the light. No battery or charger.
Cool! Ordered one! :+1:
Thank you! I been lurking here for awhile, bought a bunch of smaller lights for work. For this price, had to grab one of these. Have probably 10 or 11 30Qs and some H2s from vaping I no longer use. Ill put em to use with this light. Just what I was looking for hunting/camp. Appreciate it!!
Too bad you’re so far away - I’d buy it and drive it to you, but it’s an over 9 hour drive. I am quite envious, you live in Nice.
Got mine late Sat. Too busy to yest yet. Too bad only limit of 1. Extras would be good to have for sure.
Got mine a little while ago, now it’s pushing 5.6amps. Love the full round battery tube, great knurling, perfectly smooth and clean reflector, very nice spot and beam profile no rings, wish I could say that for the SP31 I got! :confounded: The buck driver and UI in the SP31 is a real nice set-up, boosted that one up to 5amps, too bad about the crap reflector…though.
What mods did it take to get to 5.6 amps?
Also if you guys want an OP reflector, just spray them with Aqua Net as per the late Old Lumens method.
Thanks!

Thanks for the tip ,i missed the last sofirn for 10$ so i had to grab this one
Stacked resistors, stock was R091, so I changed it several times, stacked on top of the stock resistor a R090 then tried a R050 R040 and ended up just jumping/bridging the pads. It’s a FET driver so It will change with different current capable cells. I got 5.6 with a fully charged VTC5 driver spring bypassed. Figured good enough? Did not want to take the reflector out and change leads to 22-20awg, and take a chance of dirtying up that perfect, beautiful, clean reflector. 
Yeah I spritzed the SP31 with some Hi-Temp clear, it helped a bit. :+1:
the aqua net trick is older than old lumens .I remember Don talking about it way back when ….make sure you’re smoking when you spray the hair spray …it makes it much more fun. 
I need a good Flashlight for Pest Control, but don’t have the money to get the Zebralight I want. Would this be close to a Neutral White tint thats good for doing inside inspections along with doing inspections in crawl spaces? Cool White seems to take away the insects color and also need a good spot beam aswell as a decent flood to it aswell. Sorry if some of this doesn’t make sense, I am still trying to learn all of this.
The sofirn sf36w is a warm white light, if you want a neutral tint you can get the sofirn sf36
Ah, thanks for letting me know, the one on Amazon doesn’t have a W at the end so it should be the right one! Thanks for clarifying!
whoops my mistake, i thought it was the sofirn sf36w thread :zipper_mouth_face:
Im glad you posted that anyway because I didn’t know there were both models lol
I recieved my $11 sf36 Wednsday —- Very nice light—esp for the money—-output is very good ( use any cell) with fairly good mode spacing—tint is awesome—I usually hate stock tints—this one is around 4700k/ 3C—not really a thrower—compares favorably to a P60/OP reflector driven @ 4.4amps—the switch is a little weird —kind of delayed reaction when switching modes
Does the SF36 require protected 18650’s or does is hava a built in saftey?
Ok, what is the Aqua Net trick?
Hairspray?
