Andúril 2 coming to Sofirn - The general Sofirn development thread

New design, variable temperature color EDC flashlight.
2pcs LH351D 6000-6500K and 2pcs LH351D 2700K
TIR optics, Type C USB port and with indicator.
Very compact 16mm length only
Photo comparison to C8G.

Perfect for 4* SST20 high CRI 21700 version with Anduril (IMHO) :heart_eyes:

I’m gonna guess… that’s 106mm length? Not 160mm. But definitely not 16mm either :wink:
Cool. Good to see more USB-C, and I see the LT1 tint-mix theme is spreading. Mix it to 4000K-5000K and the average should be nice. It beats slicing dogfarts…

Sofirn in the house!

That looks like a winner right there.

Hello Barry,

Excuse me for coming (maybe) late, and asking a question:

Will the SP70 BLF version include better emitter choices, than the current non-BLF version SP70?

Nice! tint ramping? Probably, they directly applied the Lantern firmware I assume.

Yes, you need a special UI for tint control and I don’t think Anduril is designed for that.

I thought Sofirn already had a developed tint ramping UI in one of their lights a while back?

Hope no only black once again

It could also be 116 mm.
With a thinner bezel and powerbank capabilities it would be a must-buy. As it is I find it interesting but not special.

not sure i understand why u want 2 cool white and 2 ww leds??

Tint mixing, and superb dynamic range with 90CRI LEDs.

It’s what the BLF lantern does.

I’m guessing they will install a driver that can control the 2 different tints separately (maybe it comes with such a driver stock?). That way you can adjust color temp on the fly.

Sofirn mentioned a new revision of their Sofirn C8G in the Aliexpress shop with a moon mode an a new Standby Mode.

Does anyone know what die new Standby Mode means? Maybe they removed the annoying instant on when clicking the tail switch? :+1:

I asked them on ali but get no answer…

Usually standby mode means you can turn off the light by the side switch. The tail switch continues to keep the power connected.

I think so, looks like another C8G will be incoming… :smiley:

I will use the first revision as an Host, waiting for drivers from Lexel.

Any news on an updated/upgraded Sofirn SP33?

Since late August there’s ‘rumours’ about a new version with a lower moonlight, a different emitter (XHP50B-3V?) to get to 3500 lm and a type C charge port.

As they come in a 6000K tint now, I hope Sofirn will offer more neutral and/or warmer options. I could need a 4000 - 4500K version.

Ditching the boost driver on the SP33 will be a definite downgrade IMO.

How? Doesn’t a boost driver require more from a battery, reducing runtime?

I’d rather not have a boost driver as I’m not a fan of losing modes due to voltage

I wish Sofirn would design a long range light that’s mountable to a gun like Maxtoch’s X2

As a dealer Maxtoch refuses to allow me making purchases directly due to there being a local distributor.

Nope, overall runtime is the same and potentially higher. The benefits are a set output which gives consistent brightness, moderate heat and increased runtime when compared to a FET driver due to the set output. FET’s can pull more amps which drain the battery faster and create more heat. So if you want the highest output, use a FET driver. If you want longer runtime at a level below the max, a boost driver is better. It depends on your application.

PS, when your battery voltage gets low, charge it or swap a fresh cell in. Then you won’t loose any modes.
