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 
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.
For such large head hope to see 6x18650 3p2s in next version.
Awesome. I'd like to thank you as well :p
Well maximizing reflector ID is for max throw - a 70 LED and OP kind of kills that idea, but it does look like an oversized bezel, :FACEPALM:
Another good reason to like SS bezels - generally they are made thin to keep costs down, and also since they are stronger.
What’s gonna be the optimum cells to use for this light? Brand? etc?
Ahhh, looks to me like they are including 18650 adapter sleeves, not for 21700's. For 21700's, the tubes and spring would have to be set up properly to go between short 26650/18650'a and 21700's and that gets tricky because you double the variance. It's probably a boost regulated so not sure if high performance cells well get you much, accept possibly longer regulated output times.
Not much info, so dunno for sure, but this my my guess.
It’s a FET driver but until someone measures how much the springs compress and how much room there is idk how you could for sure recommend something. If they tested with 18650 button tops in series any high drain 26650 button top (non protected) should fit. For 21700’s to really work without over compressing I’m betting a solder blobbed flat top works best since you probably wont have much room to spare for true button tops. They are hard to find in 21700 anyways (non protected)
Its using a Fet on direct drive on the highest output Sofirn got almost 7000 lumens with okay cells from the SP70. I would personally just use 26650s makes the most sense its made to use 26650s they should give best performance and run times.
