This is a short comparison review of the Sofirn SP31 V2.0 vs SP32A.
The overall quality is well built, the casing is thick and the head and case screw in smoothly. I noticed it is a lot better built than some other manufacturers we have seen.
The SP31 has a button switch on the base, while the SP32A only has the button on the side.
The SP31 has an illuminated side button.
Something that the SP31 doesn’t have is the spring bypass, and appears to have a smaller springs, while the SP32 does have a bypass spring. The effects can be seen on the current draw.
Both flashlights come with a 3000mah 18650 battery. I managed to discharge it close to the 3000mah after 4 hours, when my discharger stopped the timer. So I think the 3000mah is on par with the spec.
The nice thing about the SP32 is that it has a ramp up mode from 5lm to 1300lm, and consist of 2 groups.
I don’t have the tools to do a detail analysis of the lumens output to compare.
Conclusion:
The overall build quality and finish is very good. Seals are all lubricated.
The SP32 has a nice ramp mode.
The battery has good capacity.
