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

Received SP10 Pro

.

it arrived in Simple mode with a 0.4 lumen floor, 20 lumen 10 minute hybrid memory and 150/150 ceiling.

Advanced has a 0.01 floor (very impressed!), same 20 lumen 10 minute hybrid memory and 150/150 ceiling.

Unfortunately, the new firmware enabled the blink at top of Ramp. I hate unrequested blinkies! I wish it could be turned off with a user setting. (and NOT require a ReWrite of the Hex and ReFlash of Anduril)

I changed the ceilings to 120/150 = about 250 lumens on LiIon and about 140 lumens on AA Eneloop.

Confirmed Thermal Calibration is correct by default.

Still very impressed that the SP10 Pro driver works perfectly with AA.

Is there any bug with the Andúril 2 at the moment?

No.

the first run had a dim step before turning off. (and No blink at top of ramp, which made me happy)

the present run has the dim step eliminated. (and Yes blink at top of ramp, which is a feature, that bugs me, but maybe not you)

What’s the LVP on AA? Is it not necessary because boost will cut off at 0.9v anyway?

There is LVP on AA as a safety measure in case the boost regulator is still functioning.

Voltages over 2.1V register as a Li-Ion and use the normal 2.8V LVP. Under that 2.1V and the LVP switches to 0.7V for AA.

How old is the firmware on the light?

Can anyone tell me what kind of thread Sofirns sp10 pro have? square cut thread or diamond cut thread?

Is the present (fixed bug) SP10 pro sell on lazada or shopee?
Any know about this? i don’t want to buy the first run has bug.

Diamond cut

did you read post 1935?

you will have to buy to find out.

If the light has a blink at top of ramp, it is the NoBug version

I finally got mine in the second try (first one was lost in shipping). Was also surprised by the blink at max but it doesn’t bother me that much. Simple mode gives a workable low but I like to have lower settings so advanced mode it will be. It’s actually one of my biggest AA-lights but I’ll edc it a while, does need a better clip thou so looked in the lights-drawer and found the one from the Utorch UT01 best fitting so will use that one for a while.

Thank you,
i read the review in sofirn sp10 ver 3 here:Sofirn SP10 V3 Flashlight Review - ZeroAir Reviews
He said the sp10 ver 3 have square cut, so it is better finish than the pro version, i think.

Thank you

Do these work with flat or button top protected batteries?

I’m guessing these use high frequency pwm?

You need button top batteries because of the mechanical reverse voltage protection. Not sure if protected batteries would fit.

Tried my protected Eagletac’s, they fit and work fine so it seems any buttontop will do. Btw: you’ll never find a 14500 for the price of ordering one in the light and that one will fit.

Appreciate it. I have some keeppowers already and no light. Thanks

I have both lights and just looked at the threads side-by-side.

Both lights use diamond-cut standard threads. There are no square cut threads in either light.

Also, the hosts (ie the aluminum parts: head, bezel, body tube, and tailcap) are 100% identical. All parts including the threads are interchangeable between the two lights. This is not surprising since the SP10Pro is just an SP10v3 with a different driver and different name stenciled on the anodizing.

Thank you so much for such detail information :heart_eyes:

The threads on SP10 are what many call square cut.

To be precise, I don’t think they are actually square cut. It seems to be trapezoidal thread. Regardless, it is not triangular cut threads you see in many cheaply machined lights.

Edit: I cleaned the lube off and looked at it more closely. I think the threads of SP10 Pro are indeed square cut threads.

I stand corrected. I thought they were triangle-cut threads, but I didn’t look close enough. They’re actually very small square-cut threads.

In any event, both the SP10v3 and SP10 Pro have the same threads.
