I’m not seeing any difference between this V2 and the original/existing SP10A. Looks like the same specs and functionality. What exactly has been changed?

I was looking and wondering the same thing.

SP10A
5 Modes powered AA battery: Moonlight (1lm) 180h - Low (20lm) 11h40min - Mid (70) 3h19min - High (270lm) 51min - Strobe (270lm) 1h42min
5 Modes powered 14500 battery: Moonlight (2lm) 330h - Low (60lm) 12h2min - Mid (224lm) 3h13min - High (573lm) 1h15min - Strobe (573lm) 2h31min

Upgraded SP10A v2.0
6 Modes powered by AA battery (Nimh) : Eco (0.5 lm) 284h - Low (5lm) 68h50min - Mid (30lm) 11h26min - High (80lm) 3h3min - Turbo (200lm) 51min - Strobe (200lm) 51min
6 Modes powered by14500 battery: Eco (0.5lm) 227h - Low (15lm) 61h33min - Mid (50lm) 11h42min - High (200lm) 3h21min - Turbo (550lm) 1h3min - Strobe (550lm) 1h3min

As per information from Sofirn Store on Aliexpress “…we will add this new model in Aliexpress shop on next Monday”

Thanks.
I guess I was too lazy to look up the actual specs of the original. I also could have just reached across the table and grabbed my SP10A V1 and counted the mode groups :person_facepalming:

Okay I see now, thanks. Any idea why output in turbo went from 573 lumen’s down to 550. Most of the time output goes up on a newer model not down.

Is it normal to have higher runtimes on Li-Ion batteries than Ni-MH?
Honest question!!

[korkfoto]

Does it have the stepdown after 3 minutes in Turbo mode?
Thank you.

@korkfoto

Thank you.

Yes, it has a stepdown after 3 minutes in Turbo mode.
Considering the stable in circuit and lifetime of LED emitter, the lumen max was adjusted to 550lm.

Thanks, rost333!

I picked this light up when it first released. Still waiting for arrival. Normally do not pick up small lights but like Sofirn to take a chance.

Exactly, I have V1.0 and I can’t wait to compare those two

Looks fine to me

Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

Both SP10B’s have arrived and how nice they are! But I promised a drop test, I want to know too if my units are prone to failure. With the kind assistence of my 7-year old son, here it is. I’m happy to say that although the drops did cause mode changes and switching off, both lights kept working fine. [Droptest Sofirn SP10B]

Sofirn SP10B - Impact resistance issues?

In the few months I have been carrying mine I have dropped it a couple of times, all while off. I have had no problems with it and am really enjoying having it in my pocket all the time.

You will like it . I have one from 6mo. ago and it is my work light. Small enough to carry unnoticed and bright enough for close to medium distances. I put a protective ring around the switch so it never activates in the pocket and helps index the button .

Sorry but I don’t have what it takes to post pictures . I can tell you what I did though. Simply glued a stainless steel washer over the button. Harbor Freight has assortment packs of stainless and brass washer that seem to match up in size well.I could email a picture if you want.

I’m afraid that you don’t want to post the result as it’s not aesthetically pleasing. I’m I correct?

I just bought a blue SP10B (V1) :person_facepalming:

I see that the V 2.0 has a SMO reflector… That’s a drawback for me.
