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

using a Tir in an SP10 sounds nice… hope you post a photo… and DUV…

gchart’s work on the SP10 Pro driver is amazing, not only does it have AA compatibility, it has the lowest low of any Anduril light I know…

plus he offers a flashing Kit, and updated Hex files… just amazing support

I sent PMs to the people who mentionned interest in the T1616 programmer.

If I forgot anybody please send me a PM.

Edit : for people in the US please ask Gchart first if he has programmers available.

Here’s my SP10 Pro with 519A 3500K (from Convoy site)

Beam

Left: SP01 Pro w/ 519A 3500K / Right: UT01 w/ LH351D 3500K
I really like the well defined hotspot of the UT01 reflector but the SP10 Pro is fine too.

Spectro (High with NiMH Eneloop)

nice strawberry color and -duv :+1:
glad the beam works for you too…

Previously my favorite color temp was 4000-4500K.

But now that I’ve tried dedomed 519a, I think my favorite color temp is around 3500K.

jon_slider has gotten me to like warmer tints!!!

Dangit… now I have to swap emitters in a ton of lights!

jon_slider · July 31, 2022, 12:00am

LOL!
choices are good

I just got a green SP10 Pro in the mail today. I wasn’t going to get one, as I have three SP10s’s. Getting to pick it up for just under $23 all in with battery/charger pushed me to go for it.

I do like the older host better. As has been said before, it’s a little shorter and has a better tail cap. The new clip isn’t great, but it is better than the old one.

Anduril 2 was actually a deterrent at first, as I didn’t want to learn all the new procedures compared to Anduril 1. But the few extras it has are worth it (I dig the timer on the hybrid memory and the ultra low moonlight). What blows me away is this thing’s performance on NIMH. I don’t know how long a battery would last, but its output is pretty amazing. It’s decent with a 14500 too, though it doesn’t outshine the competition (sadly, pun intended) like with NIMH.

It will definitely be my EDC for a few weeks to see if the happiness of the honeymoon phase fades.

Thank you guys, that picture help to see very clearly.

These are not square cut threads - photos above are not sufficient to really tell, though. They are trapezoidal threads with the crests maybe a little flatter/wider than some. Not all that different than what’s on the Convoy T2/T3 and many other lights.

It can be tricky to see these clearly sometimes especially if they are shiny from grease or have direct light on them. Mildly backlit against a light background and with a low power magnifier you can clearly see that they are not true square cut at all. But that’s fine…they’re well machined and finished, feel great and work very smoothly, cap goes back on effortlessly, which is what’s important.

Well, this is the best picture I can get with my old busted not so tough camera, but I still can’t really see these as trapezoidal threads……

Those threads I’ve seen elsewhere (can’t recall which post/thread) and seems a hybrid of Trap/Square. An album of such and the nitty-gritty of thread form from Machinery’s Handbook.

Trapezoidal threads

It would seem like a stub Trapezoidal thread with a wider root than the standard (cutting tool plunged deeper than the 1/3 pitch). Perhaps to accommodate a square thread also (wouldn’t that be clever?) or some flashlight designer rewrote the book on thread form (the handbook is the definitive author on machining standards - else of special in-house needs).

I don’t have an SP10 Pro but my SP10S and the SC21 have square threads. Sofirn’s machining is correct on those 2 lights. So I might deduce some voluntary screw thread form was made or they allowed more clearance than what is standard.

Acme threads have been superseded for many years now. Same as the Whitworth. (29º and 55º respectively; inclusive angles). The term Acme is a misnomer for Trapezoidal as simpler to remember and write. Some artifact items are still made BSW (British Standard Whitworth).

That ACME company is vintage. Wonder if Chuck Jones was inspired when creating the popular Wile E. Coyote character? (wiki)

So, thanks to thefreeman (nice adapter) and gchart, I was finally able to reflash my SP10 Pro .

This light will get a 5000K 519A if I can get one. Installed gcc-avr und the Atmel files on my Pi, hopefuly I can get Andúril to compile on this system. One thing to do: Kicking out the reversed direction after ramping up.

Thanks for the pogo adapter gchart!

I finally got around to updating Anduril on my SP10 Pro and TS10 using a CP2102 USB adapter and pogo adapter.

Here are my notes for using gchart’s adapter with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to build Anduril 2 and flash an SP10 and TS10 with avrdude:

> Caution:
> 1. You could brick your D4V2 if the pogo pin adapter from intl-outdoors isn't aligned properly. I bricked my D4V2 Sand.  
> 2. Don't install the wrong firmware (e.g. anduril.emisar-d4v2.hex on a D4V2 Ti with a KR4 nofet driver) or you may destroy the emitters.  

1. Install avrdude and other required stuff

starryalley pointed out that v1 of the attiny dfp pack works. I had a compilation error with the SP10 Pro when using v2 of the pack.

Has anyone got ZFlasher AVR working for Android?

Thanks!!! :+1:

Have anyone done a runtime on moon mode ?

Just curious how long it last

SammysHP · August 22, 2022, 4:15pm

Parametrek or Bob_McBob could make a synthetic runtime test…

newbie74 · August 25, 2022, 12:44am

This forum rocks.
Lost my Convoy AA and it took less than 5 minutes reading to decide on buying the SP10.

Thanks for all the info!

What’s everyone using for a 14500 cell with the SP10 Pro?

Protected or Non?

It’s a long thread to read through everything. I figure I’ll ask.

SammysHP · September 1, 2022, 11:57am

The unprotected one from Sofirn.

Venom · September 1, 2022, 12:29pm

Anything in the U.S.?

I have a Sofirn headlamp with 14500 & charger. Will the charger charge any 14500 or any size cell?

contactcr · September 1, 2022, 1:47pm

Unheard · September 1, 2022, 2:44pm

There’s not much space in the battery tube. None of my 14500 fits. They’re all protected, Olight, Klarus, and Wuben. So I’m stuck with Eneloops. Could be worse.

Venom · September 1, 2022, 9:08pm

Will the Vapecell fit the tube?

I have a local Vape shop that sells Vapecell.
