Special code for BLF from Sofirn. New arrivals— C8A 2 light group and max up to 1747 lumens.

Yeah.

Neutral and warm white are also much more popular around here with other people, if you look at the group buys where multiple choices are offered then they’re usually far ahead, for example: [Ended]Groupbuy : Utorch UT01 (XP-L , AA & 14500 battery , e-switch etc)

FYI the Sofirn SP31 uses the Cree XP-L2 V6 3D which I measured as nice 4700K. I believe that the SP32 uses the same emitter. This is the same LED being used in the Q8.

SP31 Review (mine):

SP32 Review (dirty_pierre):

XP-L2 V6 3D is a really nice warm color temp and I hope these manufacturers start using it in more lights. :wink:

Thanks, just ordered an SP32. Tough to beat a flashlight AND a battery for $18.

edit - is the SF36 on AE no longer on sale?

edit edit - did you intentionally put a limit of one per customer on the SP32? I tried to order three more to give away as gifts but Amazon would not honor the code.

Would you offer coupon codes for amazon.FR too? Would be nice :blush:

The SF11 is tempting me :slight_smile:

i wanna order the SF11, but it doesn’t ship to canada.
is it sold on amazon.ca?

Thanks Tracy Wan, SF11 will be here tomorrow :+1:

Do you offer SF11 in NW and WW tint?

Got my light in from Amazon today fast shipping, but big disappointment!!!

Fresh set of eneloops and it worked okay but a little funny. Switch operated slow… real slow. (some reviews mentioned it) Then it just started acting crazy! Changing modes by itself, indicator light kept changing from red to green to yellow and back again. Pulled the batts out and popped in another fresh set of Eneloops. Same deal! Light was tripping out, changing modes and the switch would barely work. That was enough for me!

Definitely not a reliable light. Back in the box and returning to Amazon.

Yep, I received mine yesterday. It’s having the same issue. Made it through a couple of mode sequences, and then started spazzing out. Actually had to pull the batteries to ensure it wouldn’t turn itself on. I like the light, very bright. Too, bad.

I got my SF11 yesterday and tested it this morning, also had some switch troubles, at first it would turn on to a random mode, then not switch modes or turn off no matter what I did with the switch, had to remove the batteries. The second time it went into strobe and did the same thing until I just started pressing the button like crazy, then it started functioning like normal. Not sure what was up with that, but it seems to work fine now. I am using lithium primary cells (energizer ultimate lithium AA cells).

One thing I do really like, the head on mine was not glued shut, so I can actually get in there for modding. Think I will put in an XP-L HI in warm white.

SP32 arrived today and it works great. I like the smooth ramping between modes. For $18 including battery and charger, this was a great deal. Any chance of allowing people to use the coupon code more than once? I’d like to buy a few more as gifts. :crown:

Update on my SF11, button issues came back, it seems like there may be a problem with this batch. I Really like the light and want it to work.

Got the SP32 today from Amazon.
The light work for a minute, the it go haywire, on by itself, cannot switch mode, cannot turn off, I take the battery out and put it back in, it Strobe.
Fix?
I really it this light if it work.

Sofirn SF11 …. 4AA can light.

* Guys serious warning!!!

This batch of lights are definitely defective and unpredictable! The light will come on by itself if batteries are left in it!!!

I was testing the light again and found the same erratic results. I left the light in the off mode to take care of something else and came back to find the light on in a low mode. Came on by itself! Thankfully it did not come back on in turbo, and burn something up! Luckily it runs on AA’s and not our favorite 18650’s or similar.

Take the batteries out and return this light!

Sofirn, see all the above posts… this is a bad batch of lights. You should really recall all these lights before it does some real damage!

It happened to my just arrived SF11 this morning but I thought it was my fault! will check again to day.

Thanks Hawaiian Eyez.

FYI - I just sent Tracy a PM to check these comments out in case she did not already see them.

Now, I suddenly don’t feel too compelled to buy this light :person_facepalming:

Thank you. Good idea… I’m curious what they have to say.

I like the light, it’s nice has a good feel to it and the indicator switch is cool. I was going to use it as a nightstand/back-up light. But it is unpredictable and dangerous as far as I’m concerned. Luckily the issues came out right away and not after a month of use….

I’ve had the SF11 in my cart and about to submit, but now I’ll wait for the official response.

I have had mine (SF11’s) since Tuesday, been using it for the last 2.5 days, no issues to report, it’s a nice light so far….
