Sofirn SP70 Alone $50, PM for AMZ US CODE(LIMITED)

Guys!
Sometimes I get an e-mail about promotions and new products in the Sofrin store on Ali. Today I received this:

Yes, they are getting closer on the SP70, but it should not go on sale this soon. I hope a sample light can be tested first. Maybe they will “presale” it? IDK.

Right now they are waiting for some anodized samples to come back of a flat or matte black finished SP70. They may go with this new finish. Have to wait and see.

Saw this mail too looking forward the final product review.

Yeah, they might try to do a preorder during the Aliexpress anniversary. Nothing is confirmed, though. The light itself is still a ways from shipping.

It should also be available on their Amazon USA store.

I don’t know how I feel about a preorder. I guess most people don’t mind paying really early. I prefer paying closer to when the product is actually going to ship out. Maybe it won’t be such a long wait? I’ll try and find out.

Anyway, it’s a good sign. The SP70 is closer to release. :+1: :beer:

Hey Sofirn are we going to have a BLF group buy?

I doubt it, plus there is no one to run it. It will probably be like the Sofirn Q8.

OP Updated with good news!!

I want to clarify on the batteries.

The 5500mAh are their current black and gold Sofirn cells. These are more high capacity and not high drain. They won’t produce the highest output.

The HD batteries are the new high drain cells they acquired and are about 4800mAh. Sofirm will be adding button tops to them for use in series lights like the SP70, Thorfire S70S, etc…

What’s the price point?

It hasn’t gone public yet.

What’s your guess? So I can tell my wife I am buying another light :person_facepalming:

tell her its gonna be lower then convoy l6 or so.

I know what price they are targeting, but I can’t say publicly.

It is a very competitive price to similar lights (same size and shape) even though this one will have a more powerful driver, a ramping UI, very light OP reflector and a XHP70.2.

Hopefully they will announce the price soon.

jasonww is such a teaser eh…

I kinda wish they would say “Here is the price we want to have for BLF, hopefully we will achieve it. Unfortunately, won’t know the final price until the light is close to shipping”.

This way we have an actual number, but realize there are variables that could effect it.

The last thing a company wants is to promise a certain price early, then realize the production or shipping costs are higher than they predicted and now they are selling it for almost no profit or even losing money (like BLF GT). Or they could say “Sorry, we have to go back on our promised price and raise it”. That makes customers upset and the company looks bad.

Jackie posted a new pic. This looks like the new matte anodization.


.

that looks very good.

More pics.

They have listed it on AliExpress, but that is not the BLF price. :wink:

The reflector looks pretty shallow (very wide spill, small hotspot). 89kcd screams for a slicing job, I hope that the OP of the reflector is light enough to keep good throw with the smaller die.

It’s 148kcd (769m), not 89kcd.

Output is closer to 7,000 lumen.

They are posting conservative output numbers taken with Panny GA 18650 cells iirc.

Output goes up with high drain cells. It’s a FET driver.

These are Sofirn’s test numbers. No one from BLF has tested it’s real performance.
