Wonder if there’s been a harder crackdown on the internet with the current situation in Hong Kong?
Hope they’re all well though.

Well, that might explain the current silence from Shenzhen/Guangzhou but some people of their sales/marketing work in Changsha. Anyway, let's hope everything's alright and that this trade war will soon end.
Update: Strange coincidence but just when I posted here I was contacted by Sofirn. It seems everything's alright and they are just busy with their production schedule.
While I'm glad Sofirn has worked with the community on various products, I've still been disappointed more than once. I understand that they probably work "by the reel", so it's probably easiest for them to buy the same reel and not worry about buying another color and possibly not justifying that reel purchase.
However, I've got a list:
Well, I'll admit, I haven't designed or manufactured a flashlight. So there could be a lot I don't understand. I will say Sofirn is definitely doing some things right with machining quality and pricing.
I don’t know if the SP70 sold well enough, but it certainly wasn’t a “fail” by any means. Maybe they still plan a BLF edition? IDK. BLF edition is waiting on Anduril.
They do seem to be working on their own smaller version based on the Thorfire S70. It’s called the Sofirn TK70.
Just a guess, because the individual reflector area is so small (comparable to a tubelight vs an actual C8-class reflector), it wouldn’t pay for a “throwier” LED, and they’d rather just stick to the HD version as a light cannon.
Me personally, I like the C8Fs as-is. All the versions I got, from gen-1 with XP-Gs through the 21700 version.
Yeah, I just figure if I have to swap a driver anyway, I’ll buy an L6.
Magnets are easy to add to the tail cap by yourself in most cases. Although it would be nice to have an option from the manufacturer, if they’re very busy, I can see it being very low priority, if even on their “list” at all. In other words, they have more important things to do.
THIS PLACE sells magnets of all different sizes and shapes. They even have a small ring magnet that would fit around the post on the tail of the tan i3e that Olight recently were giving away, making it capable of tail-standing, as well as being magnetic, of course.

Barry, first of all congratulations to your newborn child! ^:) :BEER:
I guess you'll be kept busy in the next weeks and months. ;-)
Lately, it seems Sofirn's team in Shenzhen is more than busy.
I sent Cissy a PM a couple of days ago but did not get any reply.
Can you be so kind to help us with following questions?
Thank you.
Take care!
Thomas
im putting alot of faith on SP10S Andúril boost driver flashlight.
Even though lithium flashlights are dominating but still love AA flashlight for travel and everyday carry. If this project go ahead i will get atleast 5 pieces.
Congratulations Barry! Welcome to never sleeping again It gets better, I promise.
What nm is the UV in the W30? It looks pretty damn good.
AFAIK, it's 395nm, so more or less the typical "blacklight" with a visible part of blue light.
Ah, damn. Although for that price point, 365nm would be a very big ask.

So… there is a reason to release SP10S V2 and to add this shortcut to Eco.
Reversible deep carry pocket clip would be cool too :+1:
Is 4000K version already sold out? Or will it be available later?

I didn’t even know this was a thing. I might get the 4000k if it shows up. My only experience with the 6500k SST-20 is miserable. Horrible green tint and super low CRI.
:o whaaaaat
Might just mod my existing ones, but any more I get will be sst20 when it’s avail in 4000k.
