and if you go to turbo from ON the light will step down after 200 seconds to the mode you was previously.

Mine doesn’t do that.

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

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.

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:

@NikolaS

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

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.

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.

And this is the link for Sofirn SP10A/B on Aliexpress :

How do you get 10% off?

Dear friend, we can provide you 10% discount for SP10A/B on Aliexpress: Sofirn SP10A/B

@Lightbringer

As asked above, what’s the diff between the A and B?

I like the A quite a bit, so am curious about the B.

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.
Please see the link of Sofirn SP10A/B on Aliexpress Sofirn SP10A/B

@Sprinkles

Does anyone else have this problem? When I go to the official as SOFRIN official store and add the SP 10B to my cart then try to pay, it tells me I can’t order.

Dear friend, please try it to our franchise store with Sofirn: Sofirn SP10A/B

[Hedy]

@MascaratumB

@Sprinkles

Take a look at the image of my cart. There are multiple listings for the SP10B, but not all of them are from the official Sofirn store. Notice that the three that are unavailable are from “Sofirn Official Store” and the one that I can actually order is from another vendor.

Forgive the crappy editing :innocent:

That’s really weird! I’m seeing my cart and the only thing that appears on mine (from Sofirn Official Store) is “Limited quantity available”.
If you put another flashlight, or charger,… , does the same message appear?
Try to refresh the browser, I can’t see what may be going on… Unless it is something “country related” (like when Amazon does not ship an item to a country).

Dear friend, just see our franchise store with Sofirn of SP10A/B:Sofirn SP10A/B

[Hedy]

@Sprinkles

This is so weird. I tried adding other lights from their store, and it won’t let me buy any of them. It just gives me the same message that the seller has either discontinued selling them for they are out of stock.

Dear friend, just see franchise store with Sofirn for SP10A/B,Sofirn SP10A/B

I’m really confused now, the black one I got on amazon says SP10B

@ 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.

[Blackbeard]

well it definently does not fit longer protected cells, and it says 10B is the black version, thought it would be the newer model, I only have a few 14500’s and 2 are newer fenix cells which are very long, my older ones are not long for this world so it may be an issue in the coming months where I will have to just run it on NI-MH, kinda dissapointing, even the pic on amazon for the black one just says sp10. amazon had a promo and it came with free SD02 diving light so it was a helluva deal for just the price of the AA model

The Fenix protected fits in my B .

what color is yours?

so what exactly am I holding here? It put a decent chip in the wrapper on the positive end of a fairly new fenix protected cell, I’m not willing to crank the tailcap any harder. it is the exact same length as klarus MI-7 which has no problem with that cell and slightly shorter then Lumintop tool AA with the clickie installed. I would say all 3 of these lights have about the same output on highest settings, with 14500, with the sofirn being the warmest tint and tightest hot spot.

[pennzy]

Mine is a black one purchased 1 month ago from Amazon . I think further back in this thread I read they lengthened the Bs . Maybe the other thread .

[Thewrights11]

Is is possible to flash a different firmware on the SP10B? Possibly a ramping UI?
