Sofirn SP10 Pro (AA/14500/Andúril 2) - now available!

[Firelight2]

I’m of mixed minds about the driver.

• It’s really nice having Anduril in a driver for this type of light.
• Having it able to run 14500 and AA is nice … but not crucial for how I use my lights.
• The low max output is irritating. Just 3 amps? I can really see the difference when I compare it side-by-side with an FWAA, especially after modding my SP10 Pro to use an FWAA optic, star and the same emitters.
• If I had to choose, I’d rather have higher max output over 1.5v support.

For those who ordered from “SOFIRNLIGHT.COM”: did the status of your order changed to “shipped” (or something similar)?

Mine still shows “awaiting shipment”. I contacted Barry and Sofirn via PM and didn’t get any replies…

I know this week they are on holiday, but mine was ordered on the 14th and didn’t move since then…I’m starting to get upset :cry:

Just wanted to let people know that Sofirn and Barry have replied to me meanwhile, concerning my order. :+1:
They are expecting drivers and updating firmware, so that is what caused delay.
Sofirn mentioned the end of the month to eventually have them.

I will wait for them to become available, as will not cancel my order. I just wanted to know what would be the reason, and now I know :+1:

Got my shipping notification today! Another wait begins

I did a quick search and didn’t see where they are offering discount code I am interested in 2-3 I wish they would have done it with type c charging port

What are the possibilities of getting Sofirn to put the same lighted switch from SC21 Pro into the SP10 Pro. The ability to have and control a switch light is a great feature.

That would be really nice. Actually a different switch setup altogether, but if space isn’t an insurmountable concern then adding the light would be great and bring it in line with most other Anduril lights. I don’t know if it was a practical consideration or just trying to keep the price of the light at a certain point. Just a few small improvements/fixes would make this a real standout light among many competitors even if the cost went up a few bucks.

Other than no history and my doc has seen this happer with a few severe cases of the original rona. That is about it. Please get your eyes checked by an opthomologist, not optometrist. Nothing close or magnified is sharp anymore for me. Really sucks! BTW, forgot to answer… I am 57 this fall.

Long time no talk, hope you've been well, Matt!

When you are in Sofirn website, you have a banner on top (if you are a new user) indicating a 10% discount and the code.
If you select other items (drivers, flashlights), you have a smaller banner in the product page offering a XX% discount. Click on “GET” and you’ll get it on the final value.

I hope it helps :+1:

Just installed a de-domed 519A sm573 in my SP10 Pro.
…
It came out rosier than I really expected

Ive seen reports of VERY Pink sm573 dedomes, like –0.0080, even –0.0100. My experience with one sm573 dedome, is a duv of –0.0042.

What is the DUV of your dedomed sm573?

anyone else that has a dedomed sm573, and an Opple or other meter, Please share info. Please no Bare LED data… Im only asking for data in a light with its lens installed.

fwiw the SP10 Pro Green is now available for ordering

Again green!? What about blue?! :innocent: Come on Sofirn, I dare you

[jon_slider]

I thought you said Red is Better, so thats what I ordered… since I already had Green.

[James_C]

I initially swapped the LED to an SST20 2700k. After a while my eyes told me the DUV was too high and I tried a 219b 3k. Turbo makes it go angry blue so I switched back to the SST20. I guess I need to try a 519a.

Has anyone else dropped there sp10pro a little to hard?

Not yet… did it die?

[mattlward]

Has anyone tried the TG06S smooth reflector in this light? If I can get the head of mine apart I intend to. It looks close!

Couple decent fumbles here but nothing terrible. No issues.

I would definitely have preferred a bit higher max output, for hot-rod fun. I wonder if it’s possible to modify the driver to get more amps?

That’s a good question. Perhaps someone more versed in electronics than me can check if there is a sense resistor. And if so, what to replace it with for more power.

Not much you can do for NiMH, it’s already maxed out.

The FET channel will run at direct drive AFAIK. You could try using thicker cables to the MCPCB and bypassing the tail spring. Next limiting factor will be the FET.
