A Great Little Giveaway ---- SOFIRN

My “best” lights are all Sofirn. What I like best is that they have mastered the perfect balance of price and quality. Also, great customer service, response to BLF input and excellent build/components result my collection consisting of mostly Sofirn products.

I liked the quick adoption of the SFT40 in the IF22A and the efficient SP35. I hope you can use more efficient drivers in other lights too next year.

Thanks for the giveaway. I reaally with you had more regulated output buck drivers like in the SP31v2.0. Until the most recent LT1S, you neglected consistent output for extra driver features, like when you changed the driver in the SP33 V2 to the unregulated FET in the SP33 V3.

Thanks for the gift Sofirn!
Your products have a good value for money.
My favorite flashlight is the IF25A. I would like to see something like H05 but under 21700 with a simple control and stabilization interface (preferably sst20 4000 or lh351d).

I think you guys could make a line of lights which are a bit more exciting with Aux Leds and a variety of body colors. Perhaps it could be a sub-brand.

Count me in for the giveaway. I have several Sofirn lights. I like the quality and value and being able to buy them on amazon with discount codes and quick delivery.

Sofirn we really need BLF version of SC31Pro without glued bezel and simple driver remove with retaining ring. I tried to remove my bezel and It was hardly glued and difficult to unscrew. Finally I removed it but I scratch bezel and flashlight body :frowning: . Please stop use glued bezels. Also for new flashlight with Anduril 2 please provide source code as ToyKeeper ask. If we want to modify Q8Pro we don’t have original firmware as backup.

In on giveaway.
I was impressed with build quality of the sc31b i got from Amazon years ago. It’s even better that your products are readily available for quick shipping to my door. Warmer tints would be great as well as anduril2. Keep making great products and listen to user feedback. Ty

SOFIRN has come a long way. We’re so happy to have another very viable manufacturer here to help fill our illumination needs.

The LT1 was a very special project, a wonderful collaboration of the flashlight community with Sofirn. Unfortunately, all of the intimate details weren’t fully ironed out. The “drift” of hardware changes from the original design made for much concern. Going forward, I would hope any future collaboration efforts will try to keep the BLF community leaders more closely involved to help ensure needs continue to be met. Looking forward to the LT mini!

It’s also great to see SOFIRN delve into the single cell longer range throwers like the IF22A. I think there’s a lot of potential to bring this light forward to even better capabilities. I have been enjoying my SP33 v3. Excellent flashlight!

I love my SC31pro and my 2 LT1’s and can’t wait to buy and try LT1S. Please include me in the giveaway.

I would love to add the LT1S or D25LR to my collection

I think Sofirn has some great flashlights to offer this year. I like the consistently good UI choices and the dedication to creating quality budget lights. I would love to see Sofirn make larger multi cell lights.

Thank you for the giveaway!

Hey sofirn, I really like that your lights are doing all that we ask for and more. It really helps your company to stand out to enthusiast and help with the normal person just looking for quality products that do a great job at an affordable price point.

I love the fact that the newer lights are usb c chargeable AND have powerbank feature that’s a major plus.

I’m quite impressed and pleased with how Sofirn has worked with the community. Not to mention another brand in your thread, but other companies have tried to work with BLF effectively in the past (distant or reent) and not done nearly so well. I’m quite interested in the LT1S. I’m also really pleased with Sofirn’s work on the LT1 - I think the powerbank addition is fantastic. I think the SP10 Pro is incredible. The D10/D25 series are great, too.

My advice for future models:

  • When USB-C is used, add powerbank functionality whenever possible
  • Continue to offer high CRI options
  • Expand the color range on all models: purple and champagne especially!

Thanks Sofirn :slight_smile:

I’ve been a dealer for you guys for many years now, almost since launch. Always excellent products with one of the best customer service experiences out there

No glue is great, however most of Sofirn’s models are sold to the general public and glue makes them more reliable for them, nothing to loosen off or fall apart

I like how you took the D25 simple headlamp and improved it with a better emitters and a user friendly UI.
So many cool new versions.

Sofirn has made some pretty great lights this year like the IF22A and has continued to improve on their existing light features such as power banks features and Anduril 2. The LT1 (and hopefully the LT1s) are a staple for power outages and camping. The future with the SP10A(nduril) and continued collaborations is exciting and hope Sofirn continues and expands the collaboration with creators and knowledgeable members here.

After like 12 lights, I have never once gotten a subpar or light that wasn’t up to standard so the reliability and QC has been very good for me and will continue to buy Sofirn.

Their own UI with ramping it all a lot of lights need, except for if there was a more accurate battery check. The button lights just don’t provide enough information for battery life.

The lack of flashing pads and the use of glue frustrates a lot of modders but I think at least for the flashing pads, it isn’t a problem for the general consumer who won’t have a device to flash it anyway. The chances of bricking a light is pretty low and so adding the pads doesn’t seem risky in a consumer sense. Blue loctite or equivalent is fine, but lately the bezels have been tougher to get off. A compromise between not coming loose in general use and have to use duct tape and a vice is very possible.

Honestly, a lot of people change the LEDs in your lights anyway, so the LED selection doesn’t bother me. However, the SFT40 I got in a couple of your lights was perfect and amazing for SFT40, nice job.

Next year: battery check UI, updatable UI standardized flashing pads, more transparency and collaboration with Anduril collaborators, establish better runtimes/efficiency even at an additional cost, 18650 right angle headlamp with Anduril and an efficient driver, additional sub-lumen modes on most light, and some aux lights.

The IF22a is a terrific light.

Generally I like all your high CRI offerings, and all the Andúril offerings, to keep the UI consistent.

Haven’t tried the new lantern but it’s intriguing.

my sp10v3 is doing great, keep it up and count me in for the giveaway

I am in the LIVE entertainment business on dark stages most of my life. Everyone has a flashlight. you can see them seconds before showtime bouncing around showing the talent where their places are. Sofirn has in some capacity, replaced the mini-mag. A lot of stage techs use Sofirn, from the dive bar band guys all the way up to the big dogs doing arena shows, and have brand loyalty. Keep it up. -Matt
