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.
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’.
I like the looks of this new offering from Sofirn. Does the SFT-40 come in warmer tint than 6500K? Does Sofirn offer in IF22/a in warmer tint? I like Sofirn, have a few of their lights now.
Thanks lux I have 2 SFT-40 lights and I really like the emitter. But I’ve promised myself not to buy anymore 6500k lights, I’ve got to many which I bought before I got edumakated here on BLF of the finer details of flash appreciation.
Word on the street (Reddit - hanklight subforum, 3 weeks ago) Hank at Emisar is working on a new thrower. Larger than the KR1, smaller than the K1. 21700, side switch. He has said nothing else, BUT... when he shared photos of his workspace / workroom - there was a large (~40mm) TIR optic sitting on the side of the desk in the last picture... Kind've looked like the EA01 TIR.. Just saying.. He has NOT said it will be a TIR, but i dont think Hank was playing with an Astrolux that day and left the optic on the table for the picture... lol.
Interesting. I hope he’s going to focus on producing something that’s not a pocket hotrod but instead something that will manage heat well and provide a reasonably sustained high level output.
