A Great Little Giveaway ---- SOFIRN

IF 22 and SP40 are IMHO the milestones for Sofirn. The first is very innovative the latter became very popular due to good quality and friendly price (which has significantly risen recently).

New challenges? For me best would be a Sofirn adaptation of FireFlies PL47 mule. I’m missing 21700 headlamp with wide beam.

Regards,

I would like more beaded tir options.

I have several Sofirn lights and am mostly happy with the ones I have. I especially like the tints you use in the neutral white area. I don’t care for the single switch lights in any brand. I much prefer a tail cap. So when you came out with the SC31T, I was excited to try that out. I was a little disappointed that the regulation is not as good as the SP31 V2.0. There is also an outer ring in the beam. A good current regulated driver such as the SP31 and fix the focal depth or whatever is causing that ring and I would be elated to buy more.

The Sofirn HS05 is looking good, although the strap could be improved. I like the Acebeam straps they have the silicone grippy thing

In the future - 2022 how about a real dedicated bicycle light -

I am waiting for the release of the SP10 Pro

Sofirn is the ideal BLF company

I’m loving the reliability of my sf14 v2 and my sp33 v2. Especially the sp33 gives me a perfect flood for doing diy around the house.
One thing I would like to see is more hosts and drivers like Convoy has
Count me in for the giveaway!

If I had a wish for a new Sofirn light in 2022, I would like a sort of C01S (twisty with 2 slots for tritium and magnet) but…

1) CR123 based

2) in titanium

I have been EDCing my SC21 mini since I got it, and it has been great aside from some accidental button activations. I’m not sure how to design the ideal side button but I think it should be less protruding with a small “guard” around it, it could be larger so it would still be as easy to find without looking.

16340 and 14500 releases are the most exiting for me, as I think 18650 is too bulky for EDC.
I’m eagerly waiting for the SP10 pro, buck drivers running Anduril is really a big step forward.

Sofirn is a high quality budget light . Customer service is first rate .

Update the UI .

MERRY Christmas !

Hi there,
I am very interested in Sofirn flashlights. I have the BLF Q8 and the C8F.
With the Q8 I particularly like the user interface with 7 brightness levels, with the C8F also the user interface with a lot of possibilities including ramping I find very good. The Q8 is a bit heavy for me for regular use, so the C8F is more practical and I also find the 21700 battery very good in terms of shape, length and capacity. I would particularly like a lamp in which I can change the light color, i.e. LT1 or IF25 2700K-6500K. I wish everyone a lot of fun with Sofirn flashlights and a nice Advent season. Thank you so much for reading my comment.

The following is biased; 22 of my 45 lights are of their design. And my intent is recognition of Sofirn’s efforts.

I’ve seen Sofirn evolve from the Thorefire partnership; their successes as the Q8 and its newer derivatives, their innovations and better iterations (the IF22, the SP10v3, and many new models). I can’t voice my singular requests, and neither can they cater to every whim. Asking a bastion of enthusiasts their opinions and input on any design is, in my humble view, an invitation to chaos. Too many cooks and not enough structure make for a discord of requests. Many would have not catered to such, but their patience and wisdom make for the novelty and quality that sets Sofirn as a better manufacturer.

Diverse form factors, optional tints, colourful anodization, better-regulated drivers, compensating thermal management, incorporating complex software and then creating their simplified version; and not to forget the hurdles of the manufacturing and integration of supply. Sofirn has matured and continues to be consumer-friendly with no-frills design and modest cost.

Looking forward to a continued partnership with BLF.

I have only three Sofirn lights, all of which I use every day. Those are the only Sofirn lights I bought until now, but I really like them. All the others I’ve sold or given away to friends, because they were simply inferior in comparison.

My wish is to get better CRI, close to 100, as better CRI renders the scene much better with lesser lumens and lesser eye strain.

An other wish is for a sharper light, maybe with stacked optics, so called “projector” light, which renders sharp shadows and a super clear scene. I can help with this.

This is the only drawback of the existing lights, the shadows in the hotspot are unsharp due to the constructions of the reflectors with crossing rays, wich obfuscates small structures of the scene a bit. The SC31pro, for example, renders sharp shadows in the spill, while rendering unsharp shadows in the hotspot, which is sometimes confusing to the eyes.

Replace the cool white bank of emitters on the LT1 with red for camping use. Rework the firmware to switch between the two.

High CRI options from launch! I think this will only increase sales as you cater to more people, those who buy based on lumen numbers and those who only buy high CRI.

Like this?

Just went out of stock unfortunately at AE and not even listed on Sofirnlight anymore, no pics or anything.

I have one ordered, happy to share my thoughts when it arrives.

Can’t comment on your lights as I do not own any. Winning one would be a great way to get introduced.

I’ve liked Sofirn customer service, I recently had my IF25A crap out on me over a driver issue and ended up getting another one sent to me free of charge.
I look forward to the possibility of Sofirn offering a flood/throw dual channel IF25A option to match up with the latest stuff from emisar.

My family loves the LT1, and friends are always impressed with the massive quality of this legendary light. Please keep it in production for a long time to come and keep the quality at the best possible level.

Important, even essential for me is also the dedication to Anduril. Indeed, these days I even won’t consider non-Anduril lights for purchase any more.

Also important for me in Sofirn lights:

- ultra low moon mode

  • very warm emitter options

Love my Sofirn lights. SP70, BLF SP36, 2x LT1’s. Great quality, great cost, ease of purchase, all wins. While my wife thinks I have too many lights (she’s wrong…lol), I must say, even she uses and appreciates the LT1’s! :+1:

Keep up the great work Sofirn, and thank you kindly for the give-away!

I like my IF22A and testing out my SP40A - Thanks for the customer service quick response.

I discovered your brand this year and bought first sofirn flashlight.
Personaly for me powerbank ability is gerat step for edc flashlight.
If22a is best. If22a with warm led and tail magnet.
