Rough/sharp edges exist on all my Sofirn lights and I personally find it taints the experience. I know we’re talking budget lights, this is BLF after all, but I’d rather pay a little extra for nice chamfered edges.
Received the FC11 today. Battery is charging, so I am currently using a Samsung 35E protected button top to test out the light. Liking it a lot so far. The magnetic tail cap is pretty strong…
Here it is stuck to the Real Steel Flying Shark. I even moved the blade around a bit, but the FC11 held on.
This has been my EDC since I received it. It has a great (for me) UI, and a nice beam. Its easy to carry… it has never accidentally turned on in my pocket. The light is usable… good temp, no tint, high CRI. It has C-C charging that works. Its a really nice flashlight. My only wish is that the side switch was lit when the light is turned off.
Hi everyone! This is my first hi CRI flashlight and I really love it for a beautiful 4000k tint. I’ve got it also to have more sophisticated ui than standard commonly used ‘lo-med-hi’ in many cheap flashlights. I own it for like 4-5 months and have mainly positive emotions from usage.
However I’ve got some bugs that frustrating me a little:
1. Low voltage red light starts blinking at something like 3.9-3.8 Volts. It seems to me that this is clearly more than it should be. This problem occurs with any cell I have, even with standard Wurkkos 3000mAh 18650. This problem was from the very beginning and is not that awful.
2. Turned on flashlight sometimes won’t turn off untill you either change brightness or activate turbo or strobe. Especially if the flashlight was on for a longer than 5~10 minutes. This problem started to bother me about a month or so ago.
3. Memorized brightness level falls to eco after you turn flashlight in eco mode from off (with long press). Like if you turned off on middle level, then long press to eco, then turn off, then turn on again and ‘taa-daa’ you’re in eco again.This problem has appeared quite recently and is really disturbing.
I have to admit that it is a ‘new version’ of the fc-11 model.
If you have any ideas of how to make this bugs gone, it would be really nice!
However I believe that all these problems are refer to my own instance only and hopefully will not occur anymore else.
In any case I’m really thinking to get myself 2700k version though.
