【Help us choose】Which metal fits the new Sofirn keychain flashlight best?

So far ST1 is winner for me… I am not big fan of tactical flashlight..
But still not enough info about that.

I miss pocket clip there.
I miss some mode between 80-150 lumens. ¨
I really like it has moonlight mode… I choose flashlight which has moonlight or even firefly mode… because I like when it has some emergency mode, for such a situtations.

It will have some adapter to mount it on a bike?

My interest would be in a small light that takes rechargeable 16340 as well as CR123a. Very 0.5 lumen moonlight, low, med, high. No blinkies required.

The ST1 is much more interesting to me as I don’t use tactical lights. A pocket clip could maybe be added to the side of the light? I was thinking of something like below:

This could keep the overall shape the same and not impact the available space inside too much.

As for improvements to other lights I’m also for improving the Q8+ with better LEDs (even just XHP50.3 HI, though the new chinese emitters like LHP531 would also work well), a regulated driver, maybe even TIR optics and RGB AUX? One can dream :smiley:

The ST1 is the option I would get more use out of. I haven’t tried this form factor before, but having the option of flood or throw in the same light would definitely be handy.

Of course, anyone who wants a tactical light would be better served by the SK30.

I was just thinking the other day, as I was using my C01S at work for an inspection, how it was an underappreciated light!

Thanks for all comment and advice. Entry closed and the result post now. ; )

And probably don’t mention the words “Cyber Vehicle Design” in the description either. :wink:

Check this post again my man. I bet you will enjoy it ; )

Woohoo, thanks! Now I wish I could make better graphics :face_with_peeking_eye:

Haha, that’s looking forward again! lol

Hey buddy, the advice about add a pocket clip to ST1 would be available soon. Perhaps we can take more nice upgrading to ST1. lol

3 Thanks

I have reviewed the ST1. I really like it, but an sft25r in 5000k with a better battery (3.7 volt, maybe even replacebale) would be even better!

1 Thank

Oh, thanks for your kindly advice sir. I will feedback it to Sofirn factory. ; )

1 Thank

Maybe the side LEDs could be turned on separately? To handle moonlight mode maybe? Not sure if that’s achievable without too much overhaul but would give them more utility I think

As for keychain flashlight - IMO the lighter the better, so aluminum, to actually make it a feasible keychain

1 Thank

Aluminium; lighter, stays looking clean, doesn’t smell.

That said I’d be more interested in the choice of emitter and driver than the material.

4 Thanks

I love copper lights! And normally this would be my answer. However, for a keychain, it should be as light as possible. So aluminum it is! (Though I would probably still go for copper, if it’s available)

3 Thanks

I agree. In terms of lightweight, aluminum alloy stands out as the top choice.

Got it! Aluminium gang +1, the emitter and driver are also absolutely crucial. We hope to freely discuss more kinds of details about flashlights.

I can see you’re firmly committed to supporting copper lights. lol
Beside keychain light this time, what size light would you think most suitable for copper?

1 Thank

SC01 in copper and with a modern, neutral/warm emitter and USB C port would be sweet…
