It’s a great light. I have the SP10B and SP10S and was going to do some comparison shots but haven’t got round to it yet. If they combined the UI of both of those lights it would be my favourite budget AA light.
Interested
I have the SP10S it’s my daytime EDC.
With the changes suggested I definitely want a few.
Now for a magnetic tail cap and/or rotatable head like the Nicron N7.
ok thanks, does the SP10S work on button tops or flat tops also?

It works on both button tops and flat tops, sins it hase springs on both sides
it hase a button in the head like hodor pointed out in the next post, so i dont think flat tops will work.
i could try when i get home if you would like.
Incorrect, the head does not have a spring. I only have button tops so can’t check if flat tops work.

you are right, the head doesnt have springs, i completly forgot
sorry about that, will correct my post
There’s a raised “surround” encircling the button so I imagine it could be battery dependant for flat tops. Also depends if the surround has an electrical ennection or if it’s just the button.
Interested!
AA/Ni-MH compatibility, blue/ red ano with non-greenish emitter would be great too.
mortuus:how is this project going, any news to update ?
There are some great ideas already but now it’s up to Sofirn’s engineering to develop a corresponding driver layout. Once the hardware is ready, Toykeeper may be able to start adapting Andúril to run with the new driver. The biggest challenge is to summarize the outcome of all these ideas in way that Sofirn’s engineering can work with it. Furthermore, we need to find a more effective way of direct communication with their engineers to discuss technical issues. The language barrier (English => Chinese => English) might be another obstacle we have to deal with.
A with many projects all over the world, effectiveness and efficiency depend on proper communication.
If it helps, I can do some translation. :nerd_face:
Interested, especially to get better “bright vs runtime” options.
Also interested.

mortuus: DBSAR:Interested too in a BLF GB variant. I have the SP10S in Blue, and one of my favorite EDC AA/14500 lights. It works great with wither a 14500, AA Alkaline, or a NimH AA.
u mean this? Sofirn-SP10S-90-CRI-LH351D-800lm is this a nice light to buy if u dont have one that runs on 14500 and with the nice samsung emitter good buy ?

Sofirn SP10B and Sofirn SP10Av2.0 use the same XP-G2 (more focused/throwy). SP10B on Turbo is slightly brighter than SP10Av2.0 on Turbo mode.
The SP10S using LH351D is more floody.
I’m in!
especially if the same colours are offered and magnetic tailcap. I was looking into getting the sp10s anyway. i’ll just hold out.
SfGiants4000:Sofirn should make the threads on the tube the same so you can flip the tube and clip it to the brim on your hat.
Or just widen the groove near the head so you can flip the clip around.
Interested
Eh I’m not really interested in this.
Why? Lack of AA compatibility here
I don’t want to actually buy or use 14500s.
If they had the same gravimetric energy density as 18650s, I’d go.
Otherwise, no.
Interested if I can use a AA Lithium.
For me E-switch and EDC aren’t compatible.
Support of a wide range of cells is handy. My guess is that AA support sells better outside the flashaholic community.
A simple UI would be fine. An UI like Zebralight would be great.
Interesting idea but more a toy than an EDC light.
Thumbs up to these guys.
Maybe someday someone will make a great AA edc light, but so far we just have compromises and/or poor design.
And it’s odd really- we see such innovation in the 18650 category, but not even a handful of truly great AA lights, despite the fact that very few people carry 18650 lights 24/7 but they do/would carry an AA size light.
Honestly this should be the next BLF project. Call it “Best AA”. No crazy turbo boost 14500 ramping sideswitch programmable gimmick light. Just a simple AA with everything done right in all aspects. Haven’t seen one yet.
The AA is not really a flashaholic battery. It’s weak and not rechargable. Maybe this is why we don’t have any BLF designed AA lights?
There are some small 16340 lights, that’s what I carry daily. USB-C charging built in, I think 700 lumen capable. Great little light.
