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…
Does anyone know if the astrolux and lumintop optics swap?
Greetings from South Florida. You motivated me to try a logo. 
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.
According to Luminus‘s datasheet, SFT-40 will also be offered in 5000K. So far, 6500K is the only option available to order.
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.
Anyone got it yet? Wondering about sustained lumens, have ordered it anyways,but seems this one might be quite effective?
I would buy the TIR one if was available with the 5000K emitter.
REALLY?! this is NEWS TO ME :))
Any word on when the Reflector version IF22 will be in stock again? Only showing IF22a on sale and in stock on the Alixpress store today.
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.
So there may be another one to add to that list..
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.
Isn’t the SFT-40 just a dedomed SST-40? The latter is available in 5000K so it would follow that the former should be too.
