I really like my sc31 pro with its nice rubber switch and UI. Great pocketable EDC. Only thing I would change is smooth reflector though. OP would suit it better with a wider hotspot. Also different leds choice would be nice.
As for the T version I will probably get one when warmer leds are released. Only 6500k is a pity.
The magnetic tail cap is in stock, which is suitable for SC31 Pro and SP40. Now black and green are available now, blue will be available soon. CLICK TO CHECK
I’ve come full circle. Back to simple is better. I don’t, and never did use any of the andruil functions other than ramp. The last convoy I ordered is a simple off/on 4 mode. Works perfect.
Maybe Sofirn could pull it off better than Lumintop did. Seems like a lot of moving parts just to get a tail E switch though. It would be nice if Sofirn made a slick little 18650 light under 100mm long with charging.
Probably not. The shortest 18650 lights I got are the MH20s (there are some shorter ones, but not by much), but it’s a side-clicky. Any tailcap-with-switch eats way too much length with the movable parts and spring.
You’re almost at 7cm just with the cell and contacts. Add springs at both ends, make allowances for protected cells and even button-tops, and it’s even more. Even a shallow TIR is at least 1cm high. Add a pillar/shelf for the LED+pcb, a driver, etc., and it’s a tight fit.
The MH20 gets away with some length-trimming because it needs button-top cells, as the contact patch on the driver is just a shallow Au-plated button, not a spring, so that’s only a few mm vs lots more for a compressed spring at the driver.
I think some Folomovs were just a few mm shorter, but can’t recall details.
