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

Subbing.

I will use Liitokala 26650 (5000mah specs), it’s ok ?

The older cyan and black are good cells (a good choice assuming you can solder blob them for series contact), the new blue 5100mah seem to be questionable. Like always, buy from a reputable store that does not sale fakes.

Here is a repost of my battery tests from a few pages ago.

Why ?
Black Liitokala have 65.8mm :slight_smile:
It’s perfect for Convoy L6 or Thorfire S70s. I use.

What is

? Pictures ? :slight_smile:

Thx

Just perform your own spring bypass. You don’t need pictures of the 8ga across the tail.

I have black and cyan Liitokala and neither make contact.

I checked it closer, it’s 10ga and 8” long. Leftover speaker wire. No big deal.

I can not understand.

Thorfire S70s: 74mm (head) xhp70 (3960lm) - 87000cd (680m) max
Sofirn SP70: 90mm (head) xhp70.2 (5500lm) - 89733cd (687m) max

Why ?
Are they equal at distance throw ? :person_facepalming:

No, the Sofirn SP70 is heavily underrated.

S70S is about 550 meters throw.
SP70 is about 860 meters throw.

You should never trust factory specs. Try to find good reviews where the lights are actually measured.

I wait for night and I try them.
Convoy L6 new vs SP70 :smiling_imp:

.

Make sure to post beam shots!

I have nothing to take pictures of.
I have a phone (2016 flagship with android), but she does not see it very well. I would need someone with a tripod or take the pictures while I use the torch.
I’ll try if I find someone.

I finished testing:
-SP70 is, in my opinion, about 15-20% stronger in the distance and has more lumens than the Convoy L6 new (xhp70.2 + SMO). It’s a great flashlight for this price. I mean I can see it with her. I can not say how many meters, but a convoy building I could not see it well, just the roof shone a bit, while the SP70 lightens the whole building.

Excuse my bad English.

*As a small summary:
-Convoy L6 NEW wins the Thorfire S70s (I sold Thorfire)
-SP 70 wins the Convoy. :)*

Unfortunately, it did not come in perfect condition, it still has small defects, probably it was hit (but not during transport). She had a lot of dust on it. Packaging is not ok, the Astrolux lanterns are packed more nicely :slight_smile:
I’ll be back tomorrow if I have time with pictures.

Also remember that the SP70 uses a FET driver so the batteries effect performance. High drain batteries will give the best output.

With L6 and S70S the type of battery makes very little difference.

The SP70 has some bloody modes. I have to keep pushing to go to another level, or when I stop it many times I start my turbo. I’m not happy with this. Thorphire and Convoy have much better ways.
I like the moon mode :slight_smile:

I would like to see the BLF SP70 with either Narsil or Anduril

I’m not sure what this means. I always prefer ramping mode, have you tried that one yet?

You can’t please everyone with a single UI, so they made 2 different UI in one light. Hopefully it pleases the most people. Still not perfect, though. Narsil would be great, but if they use Anduril I hope they can tweak the code for instant off.

Yes, yes, yes and yes again!

3 x 26650 makes for a very nice, weighty “maglite” kind of feel. And with something this size you may as well then have lots of LED’s for a lot of lumens.

This would make for a great light!

Oh wow, that’s large. My L6 is big enough to serve Maglite duty, especially with the tactical/cigar grip ring left on the bottom.

I’m interested in a BLF edition of the SP70, hopefully with Anduril. After reading through some of this thread, it seems like people are having problems with flat top cells. If you order the kit does it come with flat tops? Sounds like it needs button tops.
