Thank you! Was afraid I wasn’t doing it right. Thanks for confirming the hardware limitation!
Just curious if anyone has any recent feedback on a Sofirn IF25A? Most of the feedback out there are a year old already and I’m wondering how it holding out…against say a TS21 or such? Is it worth USD30 and Anduril 2.0?

Seems like the IF22A has been more popular, compared to the IF25A. It has been out for a while… and I’m wondering if they’re nearing a point for an updated release.
Why does this say “New” instead of “Updated”?

Glitch in The Matrix?
What have they changed?
Use it as you would. I’d say if you think the brightness steps down too fast from a specific level then increase your temperature ceiling. Might as well check what room temperature the flashlight is reading while at it. Then there’s the aux light which you can set.
I’m still waiting on my TS10 but I’m going to probably be like you where I’ll keep settings in default at first, to see what works for me or not.
Thank you. I get around 3 seconds in turbo so I was wondering if I should adjust something. Also top ramp gives few seconds max, but that is identical power level as turbo?
I believe top of ramp is by default 150/150 in simple UI, so yes.
And no I don’t expect light this small to hold turbo for a long time, but that flicking step down just irritates me. What I would want to adjust after temperature settings is that top ramp so it would end in that stepped down level and turbo would be just highest high. That is also possible, yes?
Yes, again. I set my TOR in both simple and advanced UI’s at around 90/150. You’ll have to experiment to determine what works best for you.
I have Convoy L2 with sliced SST40 (when I was doing this there wasn’t SFT yet) and fet+1 driver.
Should I upgrade to SFT40?
I don’t use this flashlight anyway, like most of my collection.
I was in this thread and wondered what happens if you try to charge a CR123 battery in a light that has USB-C charging capability meant for LI 16340?

LB: I was afraid of that.
OK. Another “not stupid question”, how can one lubricate the magnetic ring on the WK40?
….I feel like this thread just allows me to ask stupid Q’s…
Didn’t try getting to the ring yet, so dunno.
How do you get the rainbow coloring on Stainless Steel like S41S?

Heat treatment
When swapping a SST40 light with a 3535 led footprint and pcb. Are amps the only need to look out for if the driver will kill the led?
Why no 26800 headlamp/right angle !!!

1 x 26800 won't have enough runtime.
We need a 4 x 26800 headlamp!
Why does this say “New” instead of “Updated”?
The only reason i can think of is that the title has been updated (maybe to reflect that the brightness numbers are in?) so it’s classed as a ‘new’ thread even though it isn’t.

If you’re looking for a reason not to do it then do it. If you’re looking for a reason to do it then don’t.
Go with your heart cos if logic mattered here you wouldn’t be asking

Pretty much. The driver doesn’t see the LED’s footprint, it only sees the electrical characteristics, so as long as you match those (volts n amps) you’re good.
d! I’m such a noob to this scene but I’m down for product knowledge in an entertaining way. I still don’t even know what a “throw” is lol
I like to think about what I want when making any purchase and I’m always scouring for real reviews so I can actually see what it looks like and how it worked. We sell on Amazon eBay and other channels so incentivizing a review (good or bad ) somehow ? But I’d love to hear from y’all … what a company could do (besides giveaway product to everyone haha) to really genuinely earn trust and business? Who’s doing it right? Who’s doing it wrong ? What could be done better?
AND… as I learn and ask questions from this community- what can be offered to make it worth your time and opinion?
Finally how do I figure out who the customers are who use these flashlights? Basically I’d love to know …what do YOU use these products for? Besides everyday as needed use Camping ? Work? Biker? Hunting? Tactical? Police or military work?
Any recommendations help guys! I’ve been unemployed since April 2021 due to covid layoff and I feel that the owner of Andrew and Amanda is a genuine business owner trying to give me a chance. I’d love to get insight on the customer wants and needs to mutually benefit us all. Aka anyone who has time to respond could help me in keeping me job lol …no pressure

My first thought it that info such as ‘what throw is’ is freely available on the site so explore around, use the search engine, read threads, and start building the technical understanding you want.
From the business side of things i think you will get answers and some of those will be contradictory. By all means factor them in but remember that this is a site of flashaholics which is a small, niche segment, not a general consumer site so i can’t see that building a business model based on our specific needs will be all that lucrative.
Basically, if you want technical info at any level then this is the site for it, if you want to share your passion for lighting devices then this is the site for it, if you want to understand what general consumers want… not so much.
Also you may want to give these questions dedicated threads as i can see them getting buried very quickly in this thread, any technical stuff in the technical sub-forums and any business-related stuff in the commercial sub-forums. (Only a suggestion though, it’s not for me to tell you how to use this forum )
