Sofirn D25S on sale $12 SST40 1200lm

Don’t bundle your order with anything else. Sofirn will ship everything together instead of shipping the US light separately.

It looks like Sofirn was ashamed to hang her logo on this Boruit …

It's been sold under many brand names but mostly no name printed. Drivers/UI and LED's may differ. My cheaper clone was same exact quality as the Boruit, and since I swapped the driver and LED's, that stuff didn't matter.

It’s still strange that it is completely faceless and is sold as Sofirn … And it seems there are no special improvements: no moonlight, no stabilization anywhere, the light is too collected …
But for $ 13 with a battery … These are 2 coffees in Europe.

These are the type you use for work. Knock around. Leave in car. Get paint or grease on them.

I used mine for bench work, but the headband was a pain - constantly loosening up, and really needs the cross support over the head. Need to find a better head band for it.

I still have FET+1 PCBs left. If there is an interest i can solder some. 7Eu + 3Eu shipping with tracking.

I did not notice this but I have a large head. Did have to readjust when putting them on but stayed tight after that.

The new Wuben 2AAA plastic headlamp is light enough to be fine with one band. For me, headlight this heavy that has no top band is a deal breaker, even at this price.

I've been using the YLP Panda hi CRI headlamp as of late - much better headband.

Should try the H1 headband here, for qty 2 they are like $4 each. Dunno if it will fit though.

I need a good amount of light (old eyes) and rechargeable batts that will last a while.

Someone here recommended to give the stock band a try. I did and its quite nice. Much easier to put on and off, it also works much better with hats.

Mine loosens whenever I take it on/off, but doesn’t seem to do it much while I wear it. That’s for my D10, same band - I haven’t worn the D25S yet.

Yep, happens every time I take it off then on, plus slides down, but I was using it every day, sometimes for several hours. It's not made for that kind of use.

I got my 3 units yesterday and tested the charging. All stopped just under 4.2 volts and showed 0 amps after completion. Everything working properly. Good for gifting now.

BTW if MCPCB is not glued to host you can try this The Flood, The Throw And The Anduril.

Concerning the stock headband. It works for me. Much better fit with a cap. You should give it a try before buying an alternative. Just my .02 cents worth.

I like the stock headband but quality wise I don’t think it will long term. I think a top strap is a big help, especially 9f you dont wear a hat or you’re using a hard hat or helmet.

Not good for bench work with a cap, unless you can wear the cap it backwards? Think that defeats the purpose, not sure.

When walking early or late it serves the purpose of being seen by motorists. For fine work cap will not work I agree. In the long term SP40 light and headband will be more useful. Still for $12 dollars it’s a decent light.

I put an older D25 through its paces a couple years ago on a house remodel project that lasted most of a winter. It held up fine and I still have it. I didn’t throw it around or anything like that but I also didn’t baby it.
