Lux-Perpetua:

If I am not mistaken, Sofirn designed and released the SP36S due to some (or a lot of?) customers feeling overstrained by Andúril's complexity. ... Sofirn maybe wanted to address these complaints.

My conclusion: The SP36S is not meant to be THE ultimate BLF flashlight but a mass product for less experienced (Amazon) customers.

...

I have no special insider knowledge, but this is what I understand also. My guess is the 'Unlit Masses' who buy from Amazon are not usually the ones willing to learn the incantations necessary to make an Anduril light sing. And, about the only thing more expensive that selling via Amazon is dealing with Amazon returns.

Heck - I even find myself cursing special modes and wondering which interface is on whatever light is closest when I need it.

That’s not the main problem.

It’s the heat. The heat.

People are not expecting flashlights to be so warm, even though they are using huge amounts of power.

I like Anduril lights for myself but I would never gift one to muggles. Everytime I let someone borrow an Anduril light they always comeback quickly to me because they entered some blinky modes/settings. Simple UI is smart for the general market. However, I did not buy this light because of the greenish LH351D tint. If Sofirn can shave the emitters, that would drop the DUV to below the BBL giving it a very nice HI CRI tint. I would buy it. However, please don’t add 2 minute auto step-down and please don’t glue the threads!

The fast charging capability does sounds sweet and I would’ve loved to have it in my SP36 BLF, but other than that, this SP36S is inferior in every other way.

Does anyone know if this light uses the same driver with different code on it (reflashable to Anduril) or if it is a different driver with a permanently simple UI?
