I have installed SST40 5000K from Convoy and beam lopks much better. Hotspot and corona is now one color instead of bliish center and yellowish corona. Now i’m thinking to install Osram CULPM1.TG...
The ATR version is listed as pre-order status on the site, so it probably hasn’t been released yet.
The non-ATR version was low stock as of 18-Feb, and replaced with the aforementioned around 20-Feb, directing those who still desired it to AMZ US and DE, then changed again at some point to US only.
Personally, I had one on order at sofirnlight.com, that was still “awaiting shipping,” but after notice that AMZ US had received stock of the non-ATR version (their orders had been shipping from CN), I hedged my bets, cancelled that order, re-ordered from AMZ, and received it a day later. At that time, AMZ had limited stock as well, which added a sense of urgency, but it appears that has been replenished.
I wanted to ensure acquisition of the non-ATR version, and that was the best, and now, seemingly only remaining way to do so, albeit at a slightly higher cost with a smaller discount and sales tax added. Whatever remaining stock of the non-ATR version exists appears to be in AMZ’s possession.
I was also expecting to receive the 4000mAh cell, but pleasantly surprised that the kit contained the 5000mAh cell. It also has the revised reflector.
In informal usage, running on high mode does cause the head to heat up noticeably, but still tolerably to hold with bare hands, so I have no regrets.
Hi
We now have a new version of SP35 with ATR, which is different from the previous SP35. Are you interested in testing these two flashlights and compare the differences between the two. This test is free. Please contact me if you are interested.

So far, I have the first batch SP35 (with a more floody beam pattern), without ATR.
I also have the next batch SP35 (with a more focused beam pattern), also without ATR.
Would love to try out the new SP35, with the ATR…
I think Luminus SFT-40 could be a great emitter for SP35T, especially if it was available in 5000K CCT. It is basically the SST-40 without dome. It probably gets you a bit more peak intensity compared to SST-40. As an alternative (more lumens, less intensity) they could incorporate Luminus SST-70 (6V) into that light but then it takes to use a boost- or buck/boostdriver, like their SD05 diving light.
They could easily offer a 5000K version but I suppose SST40 5000K is very limited right now. They have probably used them up for SC31 Pro and SP36 Pro.
SST40 4000K does not exist. XHP50.2 3V (as alternative) is not available in anything warmer than 5000K and even these are prone to greenish tintshift.
