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

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.

Sometimes what you don’t have is more desirable :wink:

touché :beer:

I would love trits around the button.

Has anyone else dropped there sp10pro a little to hard?

Not yet… did it die?

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.

I dont “get” the appeal of a couple of seconds of too much light and too much heat.

For me, the SP10 Pro has OUTSTANDING Low mode capability. I dont care about moments of Turbo, at all.

Plus I bought the light because it runs Anduril on AA… I would think it a Travesty, to delete AA compatibility, just to build another LiIon HotRod.

there are plenty of lights that run on LiIon and will get too hot. The SP10 Pro is not that light.

What the SP10 Pro does REALLY well, is to run Anduril on AA. There is NO other light that does that, afaik.

Next if someone manages to put the SP10 Pro driver into an Olight, THAT will be a Real Game Changer.

The light is really well balanced as far as heat to output. Oddly, this is 1 I will not screw with other than emitter change.

Ramping wasn’t butter smooth anymore. Pretty rough actually. but i did a rest, and it a perfect light again. Accept it still needs a 5000k 519a transplant.

Can I put the driver into a SP10B? The driver or switch on mine died like many, would I also need another part?

totally agree, AA with Anduril is the defining feature of this light and the reason I’m getting a bunch of them.

I’ve carried mine extensively since it’s arrival. Very happy. I prefer infinitely variable lights.
Two of my variable favorites. Time will tell if the Sofirn is as durable as the TH20.

My problem is I’m a flashaholic and I like lumens.

I have no use for AA support except as a last-resort backup in case the power fails and I run out of charged li-ion cells.

Since I pretty much only run my lights on li-ion, I find the SP10 Pro’s output to be a bit underwhelming. It’s ok with an SST-20 inside, but converted into a triple the output is too low.

I suppose the SP10 Pro would make a good gift light to muggles without li-ion chargers. Except the unmodified switch button protrudes a bit much causing accidental activations.

> I suppose the SP10 Pro would make a good gift light to muggles without li-ion chargers

yes
I ordered an SP10 Pro that I plan to gift to a neighbor, for their daughter. They like to go camping. The SP10 Pro spares me from having to ask about, or explain, Eneloop and LiIon… until, or unless, they are interested. All battery options are open. A true Multi Fuel light.

For myself I just bought another FWAA, because I dont like side switches at all… Im FlashoLowLightHolic, so the first thing I will do is castrate the FWAA so it has a ceiling of 400 lumens or less.

I make it a habit to run my lights at sustainable outputs… If the light steps down, I lower the ceiling. I do NOT raise the thermal limit

different strokes…

So, the TG06 smooth reflector is just a little to fat… bummer.
