New Sofirn TIR thrower: IF22A SFT40 2100lm 629m

Yes, depends on whether you can avoid looking at it or not. Very difficult when prominently lasered into a flashlight body, except it's a no-ano one.

On behalf of Sofirn, some video footage...

Nicely done. I have the IF22 on its way. I think I’m going to like it.

Thanks LP for the videos, would be nice to see the two compared in that last setting from the balcony

No way. Acebeam has better UI.

What is that premises?
Prison in China?

And costs 3 times as much.

Anyone have a manual that explains UI? If you could post a copy it would be appreciated. Sorry I see on Sofirn site it uses Sofirn stepped and ramping UI.

Welcome to the forum. Someone with more experience will be along soon. I believe you have to upload pictures to a photo sharing site such as imgur. There may be instructions on site. I have not done this yet. Will be looking forward to seeing pics.

Hi. I am new here…I thought I would share with you what I know. I just ordered the if22A from sofirn’s website. I decided to go with the TIR lens because I do not want spill. I have a photo showing the two beam shots. This shows the difference in light output based off the two lenses. The TIR is the top one in the 3rd image. Looks like a cleaner cutoff with less spill.

Excellent glad I bought the 22. Thanks

Some more pictures from Baidu. Credits go to the Baidu community and TLF member helicoil who discovered these pictures. That means I am the messenger boy, only…lol.

IF22 SMO reflector

The IF22 has the reflector and the IF22A has the TIR, so did you order the IF22A?

Oh…I meant to say I ordered the AF22A version. TIR. I have enough small flashlights with flood. A clean pocket thrower like that with a juicy 21700 battery sounds sweet.

The IF22 is in stock, but the IF22A isn't anymore. Barry said 2-3 weeks for the next batch. You could have got'n one of the last ones.

Am i the only one waititng for NO ATR version to show up?

I wish ATR could be toggled on and off.

That would be perfect!

Just ran across this tonight… Amutorch XT40 | Taschenlampen Forum

Helicoil magic as usual.

On Amutorch’s listing, the knurling and tailcap is different. Not uncommon for them, it seems.

Apparently, Simon/Convoy is nearing a release of his own ~40mm TIR light.

E10, L17, MC13, EA01, X1L, IF22A, XT40… Am I missing any here?

Since I only have the X1L, please somebody correct me if I’m wrong. But there seems two be at least two variations of this optic. The Acebeams, Manker, and Lumintop use one and then the rest use another. Key difference to me is the frosting of the center and the size of the injection ‘spur’.

There’s also the FF E01

picture shows:
top left-right: MC13 - X1L
bottom left-right: Nextool 6-in-1 - EA01 - E01

(Nextool 6-in-1 is a zoomable light, so not exactly the same kind…)

I’ve ordered the IF22A… let’s see how it looks like…
