Sofirn SP10B - Anyone?

Does the light turn off after 3 minutes? Quoting this from the specs. ​(Note: Activate high mode from “off”, after working 3 minutes, the light will turn off;)

It does, although it’s closer to 3.5 minutes, I think.

Strangely, the owner’s manual does not mention this feature, or I missed it.

I dont get it. Why would the light shut off? Its pretty natural to want the high mode from ‘off’?

If you double click from OFF to turbo light will turn off after 200 seconds, and if you go to turbo from ON the light will step down after 200 seconds to the mode you was previously. Simple as that…
I like the UI very much, and the only thing I would add is 20 lumen mode after moonlight,because jump from 0,5 lumen to 70 lumen measured on 14500 Sanyo battery is significant…

As NikolaS said, the turbo steps down after more that 3.5 minutes, but the light will still be one, and will probably dim again due to protection.
The light doesn’t turn OFF.

+1 here! That 20 lumen mode in between the others would be great!! :+1:

Mine doesn’t do that.

Hum…strange! Are you using 14500 Li-Ion?

Also, NikolaS and Pete7874, what are your versions of the light? Pete’s is the “new” red one. Mine is the “old” black one. NikolaS, yours is?
Maybe this has some influence, maybe they have changed this in the “new” versions (Black SP10A and Red/Blue SP10B)…

Yes.

Just to clarify, if you engage turbo (High) from OFF, it will turn off after 200 seconds.
But if you engage turbo (High) from ON (eg. moonlight), after 200 seconds it does not step down to moonlight. It steps down to Medium.

Yes exactly :+1:
I am using latest version in red color, received it just week ago…

Anyone measured current at the tail ? On the latest 10B?

Sorry, you are correct Pete! I’ve re-done the test from OFF and it shut down after 3m25secs.
Previously I didn’t notice but I had started from ON so it stepped down to Medium after the same time!

Funny, I had never tested this way… You are correct! And now I agree with agent80 comment: why? :person_facepalming:
It could have stepped down instead of shutting OFF…

EDIT: only now I read carefully NikolaS previous posts, where that was said as well, so ignore my comments… :person_facepalming:

I’m getting 1.4A on a fully charged 14500 cell.

Then the driver is definitely boosting even with lithium 14500 battery.
There is no XPG2 that can deliver 600+ lumens with 1.4 A !!

Did this a couple weeks ago…posted in the mod thread.

Changed the emitter to XP-L2…nothing else. The stock XP-G2 pulls 1.6A at the tail. New setup pulls 2.4A.

I have to agree, the moonlight is so low its not really usable, I just got one of these cause of the promo where you get a free 1000 lumen diving light, good deal for $15ish.

My fenix protected cell is too long and it wont work in this light, I put an older & shorter trustfire 14500 in and it works, but I’m not seeing any brightness jump over a NI-MH, but the battery was a little low at 3.7V, so I’m charging it now and will try again.

Side by side with Klarus MI-7 and its getting blown away by the Klarus atm. Will give it another shot after the cell is fully
charged.

Really thought they had addressed the protected length issue, but seems its still problematic.

Edit/ didn’t realize turbo was hidden like some olights, will update after my battery comes off charger, hopefully it’s closer to the Klarus output

Yep. Doesn’t work with my protected sanyo/evva cell either. I initially thought it did not like the button top, but now I am thinking it is probably because of the length.
