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:
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)…
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.
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 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.
SP10A all the same with SP10B, all with the same function 4+1 modes, just the black color called SP10A, the blue and red color called SP10B.
You can see this link on Aliexpress Sofirn SP10A/B

@ Blackbeard: Hedy is not from Sofrin Official Store! On that store that the link leads to, there may be some “old” black SP10B.
On Sofirn stores I guess you will probably find the SP10B being sold (currently) in red and blue. The black version is now the SP10A.
@ Hedy : I guess that if you are a seller and can give discounts, that is nice, members here appreciate discounts for sure! But I think that you should indicate that you are a seller and make you also make own thread of discounts for the products you offer, instead of these “disguised as Sofirn” links.
