Sofirn SF 10 VS Sofirn SF 14

What are important differences between the two considering the price $6.96 vs $11.01?
Thanks, Jerry

Here's a snap shot of the basic differences:

Always starts in High.

Noticeable PWM.

The SF10 has the worst PWM of any flashlight in my collection. I can detect it in all modes but High. It is the worst in Low. I am fortunate that the SF10 PWM doesn't affect me, but it it does my wife very much.

Some BLF members have reported that the SF14 goes spastic with blinking when a Ni-MH battery is used. I haven't experienced this anomaly with mine. According to Sofirn, this problem was fixed with the SF14 V2.

Edit: Neither flashlight has mode memory. Both have a tail switch, are made from anodized aluminium, and, are IPx-8 rated.

Many thanks, Al.

So, some things I remember (I have both lights, both moded)!
Some threads you may wanna look at:

SF10 - PWM; 4 modes (H-M-L-ML + Strobe with double click); can’t remember if it has memory; bigger and larger flashlight, modder friendly, NW tint (yellowish or rosy tints, depends); tough host
.
.
SF14 (old version) - No PWMN; 3 modes (L-M-H); no Memory; thinner, lighter, modder friendly, NW tint (white, sometimes yellowish), throwier (+70mts distance)

Hope this helps! About the new version of SF14, take a look at the thread above :wink:

EDIT: Took too much time to write, ActiveAl beat me in an elegant way :wink: :beer:

Thanks, MascaratumB. Everything helps. :smiley:

You’re welcome Jerry :wink:
BTW, length is inverted on Al table :stuck_out_tongue: The SF10 has that 0.4mm extra :smiley:

Yes, the SF10 is indeed slightly longer than the SF14. Thanks.

I saw that the SP31 V2.0 has a $9 coupon on the light, charger, battery package.
