I did confirm the low voltage cutoff yesterday…

Wow, thanks a lot for the test…

@Correllux

The FC11 does need a firmer press but it’s not terrible…hard to quantify by feel but maybe it takes twice as much pressure to activate than the WildTrail? The similar Sofirn SC31 Pro is just a tad easier to press than the FC11 but still more than the WildTrail.

…and the button comparison. Very useful info!

@Correllux

The SST40 5000K in the WT3M is standard CRI but actually looks nicer at low levels

Hm… very good point. I admit I did not consider the tint-shift at low levels.

@Correllux

Amazon still has a few of those

Thanks for the tip. I’ve checked out the Amazon listing. However, with shipping and VAT, the total becomes $53 which is not that sweet of a deal any more. (In comparison, I can get the IF25A for 40-42$ with battery and accessories included).

Whatever you get her, I’d love to hear what she thinks of it and how it works for her.

Will do Who knows, maybe the feedback will also help Bort with his project.

I’d go with the 5000mAh one for this but either one would be fine. At low output the 4000mAh cell may give more than that anyway so it could be a washout (would have to look again at HJK’s test on it…he hasn’t done the 5000 yet).

I found some tests:
4000mAh (This is for the OEM Lishen part, but the Sofirn is supposed to be identical, just rewrapped)
5000mAh review by HKJ
5000mAh review by Funtastic
