The output is great, I don’t know the exact lumen output but is enough 
Yes it’s a smaller version of the C8, the cheapest version with the XM-L2 emitter is $18 plus shipping from Aliexpress :
JAXMAN M8 flood version
That settles it!I’m ordering 2 V4000,one for the convoy and one for a jaxman and I’ll put the Convoy’s xml2 in a bigger host to be driven at 2.8.I like the tint of the xml2,so i’m keeping it for later.
Do you have any opinion about luxeon vs xml2 tint-wise?
Thanks man!
I think tint is a very subjective thing, what to me looks like a nice neutral tint might seem warm or cold to somebody else.
I don’t have many flashlights with a XM-L2, but I really like the ” XM-L2 T3 7A3 3000K - 3250K CRI90 “:http://www.kaidomain.com/p/S026307.Cree-XM-L2-T3-7A3-Warm-White-3000K-3250K-CRI90-LED-Emitter from Kaidomain
The Sofirn SP 32A is floody , S2 size, and more lumens. Oops, just reread your OP and I see you like tail switch.
@khas I started looking more a higher CRI leds,so this one is right up my alley.Thanks!
@pennzy Last week I ordered a SF36,as there are a lot of great reviews for the Sofirn flashlights.The reason I wanted a tailswitch is to be able to modify it easier in case I need to change the driver.Are side-button drivers easily interchangeable?
Nice! I bought several Sofirn lights recently. Overall they seem like an excellent value (especially considering the sale prices I paid and that most of them came with a battery and charger).
I also prefer high CRI when I can get it, but I like Sofirn’s NW emitter choices. The XP-L V6 in the SF36 is my favorite one. I feel the tint is just a bit nicer than the XP-L2’s in the SP31 and SP32A, but those aren’t bad by any means, they all work for me.
The SF36 surprised me. Outside of the BLF Q8 I’m generally looking for more compact EDC lights, but once I had the ’36 in hand it appealed to me all-around as a general utility light. As much as side switches and fancy UIs can be cool, there’s definitely something to be said for a simple tailswitch and modes that just work and don’t need to be explained before you hand it to someone.
I started seeking for Convoy M1 hosts and after some suggestions on the forum I found similar type hosts like the Jaxman M8 and the Sofirn SF36 so I ordered what i found cheaper.Though my next order will probably be a Thorfire VG10S,which is similar to the Sofirn.A Luxeon V4000 will go in that one and a Blf A6 driver to drive it a little harder than my 2.1 Convoy!
I’m really glad that the SF-36 lives up to the hype!I am also a fan of compact EDC formats.I was worried about the available tint but your input made me realize that it can’t be too bad
I have the 32a and the 36 . Both very nice . A little more output with the 32a. It would be easier to change the 36 if you wanted. The 36 does have potential to be driven a little harder. The 32a is a little more compact to carry and has ramping if that turns you on . The beam is a more even flood .
You re really tempting me with the 32a man.I was thinking about a side-switch flashlight and the 32A is really nice.How’s the switch?Does it have a better feel than the tailswitch?Are they more silent like most people suggest?
The switch is silent. As with all my Sofirn side switches, I glued a stainless washer around the switch to prevent accidental activation . Picked up an assortment pack at Harbor Freight. A little goop holds it firmly yet it can be removed without damage if I want to. Works great. No need to lock out now. Sofirn are good people too if you need them for anything.
Well,no way of knowing unless I try it,so thanks for feeding my hunger!The SP33 also looks really nice,and I trust the forum about the good words for Sofirn!
So I’ll look into both of them for my first side switch!
SP 33 , now you are sparking my interest . Don’t have any 26650 lights yet. 
Just ordered one last week, still waiting…
These also work with 18650 and an adapter,right?
@Lightbringer,please tell us more when you get it!!!
I really like my SP33.
