New Sofirn TIR thrower: IF22A SFT40 2100lm 629m

Neal will be selling the NS73. Not sure when but he’ll have it. Not sure if I’ll buy it though. I do not like rear clickys. Side e switch would be so much better.

Not sure how NS73 / SFN60 will be like. But SFN55.2 and SFS80 have shown AngryBlue™ coldwhite. :confounded: I hope Jackie can get us some datasheets to see if there are warmer tints available, too.

Definitely something that appears more unique, and less like something easily mimicked by the standard font pack from an office suite.

Something modern, and clean, sans-serif, which is also more practical to reproduce and apply.

Of those pictured, I prefer the bottom one in the left column.

Or something like slightly less aggressive like Azo Sans in a regular or medium weight.

But one first step would be to take a look at the labeling application process in the factory. Between all the Sofirn lights I own, I swear that none of them have logos that are consistent with each other, or conform perfectly to the template. A couple are notably distorted, with the S looking more like the one on Superman’s shield. :laughing:

we just updated more details

we have took some short videos ,did not know how to shows here

Can you upload them to Youtube and then share the link?

I think YouTube is blocked by the CCP in mainland China.

Not sure about that. Banggood asks for YouTube video link to show defective lights.

Will the mcpcb be available for purchase separately?

Can you send them to me via Wechat? I will be happy to upload them on my Youtube account on Sofirn‘s behalf. Or Barry can send them to me. Just choose what’s most convenient for you. :)

BTW, I will try to take some good comparison beamshots of IF22 and IF22A a.s.a.p..

IF22A is the only one available on Aliexpress right now. Group buy would be nice once both are in stock.

+1

Which one will be a better thrower in real use? IF22A or IF22?

Reflector vs TIR in this case?

The short head is really nice :+1: .

Reflector has a higher rating of throw, 116 kcd vs 108 kcd - dunno in general, been curious about this myself.

I'm interested in the IF22A - $35 is a little steep, not much.

On their website it shows a little cheaper but sold out here.

I have ordered both IF22 and IF22A. Hope they arrive anytime soon, so I can do some comparison (lux meter, beamshots, whitewall shots). I have suggested Barry (Sofirn) to also try Osram KP CSLPM1.F1 or Osram KG CSLPM1.2 (no datasheet available) in IF22A. A green pocket thrower like this would be a good competitor to Acebeam's L18 or L19 model.

thanks ,that will be so helpful

IF22 better throw

Yes, we need more green emitter lights! Was thinking of getting the E10 but looking for better value options. If they can make a green osram version under $40, I’ll buy it. Short 18350/26350 tube would even be better
