Hello BLF,
Has anyone here checked this out :
“New Arrival Sofirn SC31 Pro Powerful Rechargeable LED Flashlight 18650 Torch USB C SST40 2000LM Anduril”
It’s @ AliExpress’s Sofirn Official Store.
18650
SST40
Anduril
USB-C charging
I’m kinda surprised to find no info about this flashlight here on BLF, nor anywhere else (except @ AliExpress). I mean, it comes with Anduril !!
is it because this flashlight so new?

There’s a brief video about it on YouTube already: https://youtu.be/qXecbBQsbtQ
I would be all over it if it was 4000K, 5000K or even 5700K.
I saw this a couple of weeks ago. It’s 6500k. Hoping they will go for a high cri led.
Bonum commune communitatis.
Yarp.
It’s obvious that I’m new here on this forum
(only 2 posts). Long time lurker actually….
I have several Convoy flashlights which I bought in 2017 and 2018 . I bought them
Convoy official storeAliExpress. I found info about Convoy (and about budget flashlights in general) here on BLF.That’s why I really hope to find some info about that Sofirn’s SC31 Pro here.
I’m really interested in that flashlight, seems like the most affordable Anduril flashlight , compared to others that have been released and reviewed (Emisar D4v2, D4Sv2, Lumintop FW3A, Sofirn SP36 Anduril, etc… ).
What do you guys think about it? Has anyone here purchased it? Review? Overview?

Hello,, thanks so much for the quick response !
I totally agree about the CT.
I contacted the seller on AliExpress asked about possibility to release SC31 Pro with warmer tint, he/she responded not really sure about that.
6500K is too high for me. I have an s2+ with XML2 5000k and it’s already not my favorite. I prefer the one with XPL HI 4500k. And XML2 ~4000k.

I’m still thinking of getting one and swapping the emitter for something warmer and higher CRI. No idea how easy it is to take it apart. Otherwise this light looks like my perfect EDC.
Yup 6500k kinda too cold . I have several flashlights with various tints and prefer the warmer ones.
, i still do not really know about CRI, but i know i like 4500k XPL HI.
Not many flashlights at all , just a few

My last last Sofirn light was also listed as 6500K but I estimate it was lower in reality. Still warmer options would be nice. I am glad to see Sofirn has been making more and more of their line with charging. This and the IF 25A both are on my future buy list.
Swapping the emitter! That’s a great idea !
i have never swapped any emitter at all but I have checked emitter on my Convoy S2+ , I wanted to try to swap the XML2 5000k with XPL HI 4500K , it seems simple enough to do, right?
If this SC31 Pro has somewhat similar emitter construction/installation to Convoy s2+, , i think it won’t be very difficult to swap (hahaha,,, LOL
, IDK, I’m totally newbie about flashlight components). SST40 4000K is available on Convoy store.

I’m sorry I meant SST40 5000K LED (individual part) is available on Convoy store.
I have ordered s2+ with SST40 5000k, currently it’s in shipping. The s2+ SST40 only available with 5000k and 6500k, that’s why I chose 5000k.

I ordered it the minute i saw it. There was no discussion here before release, only surprise.
Maybe one of the smallest Anduril lights.
Mine should be here tomorrow (as long as this shipping partner keeps moving)
A few have modded the SC31B to have Anduril / emitter swap already and have posted it was fairly easy to work on
Are there pre-made Anduril drivers available anywhere that fit SC31B?
Does anybody know how is the SST40 6500K tint? Does it look bad?
I had SC31 with XP-G3 LED, it is too purplish for me.
Except you need to replace the whole MCPCB since the pads are different.
One should read the whole thread before posting
Smile, you cannot kill them all.
I find it bit strange that Sofirn’s Ali store sells the SC31 Pro in two versions with different prices. One has no info about color temperature, the second one is described as 6500K. I asked Sofirn if they have one with 5000K, but they said 6000K only.
I almost jumped out of my shoes when I first saw it, for it has almost anything I would like in a compact flashlight. Cheap, side switch, can tailstand, has lanyard hole, Anduril UI and USB C charging. SST40 is also OK for me. But the cool white tint is a showstopper for me.
My reviews:
ROFIS R3 Multipurpose light , ROFIS MR50
I put a new UV emitter in an SC31b. Bezel is glued but with a strap wrench and some elbow grease it can be removed. Don’t know about the SC31 Pro specifically but I bet its glued. However my guess is also that the SST40 looks fine.
As far as I can see this is the least expensive and smallest Anduril light out there, at least unmodded. You should be able to put a short tube and magnetic tail cap on it if you want. May have to get one.
Please illuminate responsibly

Here’s a link to the SC31 Pro on Sofirn’s Aliexpress
It took me a minute to find it. $21.77 as of this posting, without battery, for a USB-C charging Anduril light. Not bad at all.
Actually, a couple pictures clearly show a Micro-USB port and Micro-USB cable. However, others are definitely USB-C. Weird.

Would SST20 be a simple swap/reflow from SST40 or are further mods needed?
5000k will available this week

I ordered the 5000K version. I hope the tint is good.
I don’t think that’s an easy swap as SST40 uses a 5050 footprint while SST20 uses a 3535 footprint. You may need a different gasket to physically fit in the smaller LED.
I ordered the 6.5k version a few weeks ago from sofirnlight.com the day I saw it uploaded. I just now ordered the 5k version from Sofirn AE and paid the TOTAL BS FAKE TAX!
***but the coupon was for more than the tax so I begrudgingly pushed the order button***
I really dig the idea of an EDC with Anduril onboard. My IF25a’s (I have both the 4k and 6.5k) have been in the pocket lately and they are great too- just a BIT hot at times
Just a note… my IF25a in the 6.5k version is closer to 5.8k and I REALLY like it outdoors where it can throw well for a little “pocket rocket”. But it’s definitely not 6.5k and I’m all about mistakes happening in my favor.

Yup, that’s what I meant, replace the MCPCB assembly with another MCPCB with 5000K SST40 LED.
Good news now SC31 PRO can be ordered with SST40 5000k if you want warmer CT, Jackie has posted the link to that product.

Quoted info from McCatFace’s post above :
There’s a brief video about it on YouTube already: https://youtu.be/qXecbBQsbtQ
. I’ve watched that video and i think that SST40 6.5k is a little too cold to me. Then again, CT is kinda subjective right? Different person has different taste/preference .

Thanks for the info Jackie. It’s really a good news for people that prefer warmer tint.
Btw, is it still possible to change my order? I’ve ordered the 6500K version, right before the 5000K version is available.
I do really prefer the warmer CT.

Thanks. I missed the size difference in the specs. I’ll wait for mine and see how easy it is to mod before ordering any parts.
They’ve offered to change other orders so maybe it’s best to message the seller directly.
Just received my SC31Pro in the mail.
Took some detailed pictures if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the pictures! Looks very nice. Seems it has smooth reflector, I thought it’s orange peel.
I have read your thread about Sofirn IF25A. I really like your review/overview/observation . It’s like a semi-long-term review with details of actual usage of the flashlight.
I’d like to hear/read your opinion on SC31 Pro both the 6500k and the 5000k later when you receive them and use them.
