Sofirn SC31 PRO, New Anduril Flashlight

That’s a really good news!

How many lumens at minimum of ramp?

Just got mine after a hold up in customs. Really impressed. Excellent value and no issues noted. I will order another.

Got mine in 5000K as well. Great value overall, great tint with no green. Sharp fins and sharp lanyard hole, as is tradition. Lanyard hole doesn’t align with anything like it does on my FC11. Also, not happy with the smooth reflector. Thinking of trying to put OP from FC11 or a TIR. All in all, my new EDC with a short tube. Just need that deep carry clip now.

AFAIK, or at least based on the current draft of Anduril 2.0’s documentation, voltage calibration is included: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~toykeeper/flashlight-firmware/anduril2/view/head:/ToyKeeper/spaghetti-monster/anduril/anduril-manual.txt

Anyone else find it disappointing that a “Pro” light with perhaps the quintessential hobbyist’s UI is still glued together?

It’s not like there’s a thread with perhaps the most loyal customers asking for Sofirn to reconsider that practice…

According to Sofirn, the button LED turns red when battery is lower than 2.8V. I am thinking, does it make sense? 2.8V sounds too low to me, at 2.8V battery is basically empty.

You mean the blue stuff? If you read the description of blue Loctite, it's the mildest form of Loctite there is:

Guess it's still glue...

What’s the simplest way to remove the chamfer from the lanyard hole so it doesn’t chew up a lanyard?

Very nice flashlight :smiley:

Yup, that’s a nice SC31 PRO. Is everything ok? The usb-c charging port ok or is it off center?

You have a nice collection of Flashlights :+1:

Is it normal that I can feel the light buzz in my hand when in rapid strobe mode? It’s like a vibration. I can feel the pulses. Does anyone else’s do this?

It’s not perfect but it works fine. Everything is ok, great budget flashlight :sunglasses:

I got mine today. I wanted a FC11 style light with Anduril, and this fits the bill. It’s my first experience with the SST-40 5000K and it’s interesting how it changes tint. At low to medium brightness it appears close to 4000K, but as you ramp to high the hotspot goes to 5000K with a a slight violet/pinkish hue. The tint may not be consistent, but I like it.

For the price I paid during the Aliexpress sale, this was a steal.

Just received mine today in the UK… Ordered it on the 5th so fairly quick.

Just got mine the other day and took it for a walk last night. Don’t have much to add to what has already been said, I love it. I had been carrying a SP32V2 with short tube and this is 4mm shorter! Regulated mode is enough for me on my walk. Ok, yeah its not high CRI but I like the 5000k emitter. The only thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the modes for the button. It comes in low and you can shift to high, off and a breathing mode that varies from low to high. Fun. I like this trend to smaller and smaller Anduril lights. Now lets get that SP10 in Anduril going. And thanks to Sofirn for making this the most affordable Anduril light out there.

Sofirn please for FET+7+1 :heart_eyes:

Off-Low-High-Breathing button LED has been around for quite some time in Anduril-based flashlights (even the older Anduril versions used in the SP36 Anduril or IF25A, also have this function). Although the SC31 Pro’s Anduril is much newer (2020 with the new updates, whereas the ones on the IF25A/SP36 Anduril seems to be based on a 2018-version Anduril).

My favorite Sofirn light last year was the SP36, and this year it’s the SC31 Pro. Best budget Anduril light in my opinion. The only fault I found so far is that battery voltage reading is off by 0.2V.

I’ll buck the trend and say my favorite “small” Anduril Sofirn light is still the IF25a. I feel bad I broke the first post on it without a proper review— just 4 months ago BTW. It is SHORTER than the SC31 Pro by about a 1/2” and not much heavier or wider than the SC31 Pro… and it runs on a 21700 high capacity (4800mAh) battery VERY nicely :wink:

That said, I have TWO SC31 Pro lights with another (5K) due any day now. It really is a super light and worth all the good feedback we are seeing here. But aside from a front pocket (tight) tuck light where the SC31 Pro is a natural “fit”… given a choice- I’d take the IF25a over the SC31 Pro in the 6.5k model (where I’d use it outdoor).

For INSIDE light… I am thinking I’m going to really like the SC31 Pro in the 5k when I finally get it and in that capacity it may “trump” (no political pun intended I assure you) the IF25a for that use. Oh yes, I DO have the IF25a in the 4k and it’s a great beam of natural light for sure… I’ll know which I prefer when I get the SC31 Pro 5k in and compare.
