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

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.

Ah thanks, so sliced we may get 250 kcd at 6000 lumen, that is pretty :slight_smile:

I think so.

Thanks. I know it was all talked about but it was not in my head anymore (a lot disappears in my brain over time :wink: ), and I have no precise recollection what made it and not made it into the production light.

Same for me. Lol

90 mm head diameter is impressive - didn't expect it to be that big. The ThorFire S70S is 74 mm - I got one but not sure if I ever did any modding to it, nothing major like a custom driver for sure.

Head Length Weight
S70S 74 254 590
SP70 90 250 625

I think they made nice improvements overall - dims, the look, nice finning. I like the knurling on the tubes over the ring pattern the S70S had.

thats a huge head indead, seems like this will kill the convoy l6 if they offer a good price.

That’s good news. How do we get the BLF price?!

I'm excited. I can't remember, did they get nice BeCu springs for it?

Could we please not quote that huge post with all those large pics, or at least remove the pictures from the quote? I like the pictures but not 50 times.

is the tail spring bypassed or is that not needed ? hard too see in that pic.

Sorry for quoting the photos. Just wanted to make sure you know what I’m referring to.

My guess is it's a dual spring setup.

It does look like it suffers from your reflector pet peeves. Thick bezel and you can see the entire edge of the reflector from the front. If that 90 is measured from the outside of the head it’s much less ID.

Everybody, Sofirn messaged me recently and they said that the springs are indeed gold plated dual BeCu springs. They also thanked me for the advice :slight_smile:

I wonder how this light will perform with 2x Samsung 40T or 2x Molicell P42. The power of these cells should yield in way better lumen/lux numbers, shouldn’t it?

Yea you should be able to get around 8k lumens with top cells.
