Andúril 2 coming to Sofirn - The general Sofirn development thread

We are ready to wait :slight_smile:

We love the SST-20-W 95CRI. The 4000k currently sold on Kaidomain is the FB4 bin, which is far above the BBL so greenish. Fireflies is using the FA3 bin in the ROT66 and that was reported to have some slight green and requires minus green filter to perfect. If Sofirn can source the FA1, FA4, FD1, FD4, it should give the Nichia 9080 appearance but with better performance vs 219B. The SST-20-W 95CRI 3000k sold at Kaidomain is the HD2 tint bin and is perfect for WW.

If you go with the Samsung LH351D 90CRI, make sure you get the T1, T2, T3, or T4 bin because anything tint bins above has green tint. The groupbuys were T6 and T7 bins that were supposed to be at or below the BBL but in reality, they are all much above the BBL resulting in the yellow/green tint.

Agree

I would love to see the SF10 with a 5000K Nichia or Samsung emitter. Three special BLF editions, copper, brass, stainless and titanium. With a screwed on deep carry clip. I would buy a few of each.

First time to try this google tool. Hope it helps collect your ideas. Please let me know if anything wrong.

I filled it out.

Good idea but then it won't make any sense for me to keep track of the ideas posted here on BLF and do some kind of summary in the OP. Whatever the outcome of this survey will be, I'll be happy to put the results into the OP. Feel free to contact me via PM, Sofirn.

Done.

Yeah, thanks. Let’s give it some time to collect more replies.

I added some input on the Google tool, hope it helps…

I'll have everything this man is having!

(Your English is great, no need to worry my friend.)

I suggested in the Google document a triple or quad in the size of their SP33 with either a 26650 or 21700. It would be another alternative to the D4S and E07 which seem to be very popular right now.

I’d love to know what ideas are inspiring to Sofirn right now.

received 28 answers, I found many want 4000K-5000K tint, want XHP series or samsang leds for more power or more distance or higher CRI or better beam.

some like usb charging some don’t like. some want more body colors like Red, sand/tan, navy Blue etc.

More people want another new version of C8F and SP33.

We will talk about in the meeting.

Anymore ideas? Please keep going.

I would love an SP36 in a 3500K to 4000K. Maybe even with SST-20’s.

Updated sf30. Could be simple as driven harder to produce 1000 lumens.
Or a emitter swap to xpl hi.
Or even another sale again. About a year ago these went on sale for $5.99 on amazon. Discount code maybe?

Do you plan on producing the SP36 with Andúril?

So far, Sofirn is already collaborating with Utorch. Right? I ask you to think about the idea to renew or buy out the Utorch UT03 Triple CREE XHP70 project under the brand Sofirn. Or implement it on 3 * XHP50 or 4 * XHP50 emitters.
These would be very practical lights, powerful and without problems with overheating.

Some tells new new colors: Purple, navy blue, sand/tan…

We tried Purple but always more like red, not satisfied.

How does sand/tan color look like?

Sand/tan look good. Also bring back NW tint please.

I would like if Sofirn will soon finish the LT1 lantern and the Q8 extension tubes. Preferably those have matching threads so the lantern can use the extension tubes as well.

Also, it would be great if Sofirn would make another edition of the Q8 using OSRAM KW CSLNM1.TG (1mm2) “Flat White” emitters, giving it a super tight beam with great throw, and still over 2000lm output, in a “soda can” style light.
