PSA: Sofirn SP32a v2 available in Black, Silver and "light gold" in their AliExpress shop

Too busy dying of heat-stroke here to do much of anything, but yeah, that’s definitely on my to-do list.

I try to always keep my lights in their original boxes when not actively using them (also lets me be sure there’s no cell still inside), but all these Sofirn boxes are unlabeled, so I sometimes gotta grubble through a bunch of same-sized boxes before I find what I’m looking for.

I just played around with mine for a minute. The instructions with mine are for V1. Some things aren’t apparent without the correct instructions, so I’ll need to hunt those down.

Lightbringer · 2018-07-06T01:13:55.000Z

I didn’t even look at any instructions (rarely do), and still managed to get ramping going, back to stepped, 2click for turbo, etc. Quite intuitive.

gchart · 2018-07-06T02:05:08.000Z

Yeah. But lockout said 4 clicks and I couldn’t get that working. And the “power indicator”? Everything else though… pretty straightforward.

Man_Without_Shadow · 2018-07-06T02:28:31.000Z

electronic lockout was removed

Lightbringer · 2018-07-06T03:01:45.000Z

Makes sense, as I never use it.

I am very excited about Sofirn finally release new products after half a year. just paid one SP32A V2.0 pale gold color in Sofirn AE store, I am in Singapore, so this is the best way to buy. And Cissy gave me a coupon, she told me could share it here, maybe someone need it?Expiration time is 15th, July

That pale gold looks gorgeous! I didn’t need another 1x 18650 light but I may have to buy this just for the color. Is it just a color change or did some internals change as well?

It seems that some changes have been made in function. however i am still waiting my pale gold V2…I hope that the color of the V2 does not look too different from the LCD screen. You know that the color difference is there common…

Lightbringer · 2018-07-06T03:55:31.000Z

Unless it’s internal-organ pink, it’s gonna look great!

(Stay) Cool.

For the uninitiated, is the only way to redeem the coupon above is by using the Aliexpress app? Or can the seller (Cissy?) be messaged, Convoy style?

If you go to the listing on AX, right around the price there’s a… “pulldown”(??)… which says something like “Seller’s coupons”.

Force of habit, I just go and grab everything, and on checkout it automatically applies whichever is the biggest value.

Eg, if you grab “1buk off for orders over 15”, and “2bux off orders over 20”, and you order something for 22bux, it’ll pick the latter. Pretty kewl.

Also, if you have identical coupons, but different expiration dates, it’ll pick the one that expires sooner, letting you keep the other one for longer.

Thanks. There are currently a couple seller coupons available that way ($1 off 15/$2 off 25), but the one posted by Jackie above (thanks!) hits the sweet spot :laughing: .

I got a reply from the store through the message system, and they can adjust the price, like Convoy does for BLF, for those who want to order with a computer and not the app.

That’s much more preferable to me, and as noted in a past thread, one should choose the “Other Payment Methods” option to allow the order to be submitted without paying, get an order number, and then provide that to the seller for the adjustment, before finally making payment.

I don’t need another light, but the pale gold was hard to resist. And, FYI, I’ve been told that the stock going to Amazon will be black, so AX is the only option for the other colors.

TheAuditor · 2018-07-10T19:32:22.000Z

I like mine, the ramping is pretty good now, and it really is an s2+ alternative. Maybe the side switch could be a bit bigger to make it easier to locate.

TheIntruder · 2018-07-11T07:35:00.000Z

Anyone receive a pale gold or silver yet? I’m curious how they look in “real life” pix, outside of the official beauty shots.

The AX feedback has just started to trickle in, and none have pictures.

Lightbringer · 2018-07-11T15:49:26.000Z

Mine’re still stuck overseas, so must’ve just missed the barge.

JasonWW · 2018-07-11T16:56:13.000Z

Hey guys, Sofirn is working on both a new light in the style of the L6/S70s as well as a new UI.

If you have suggestions on the UI or want to voice your opinion on what is currently suggested, check out this thread.

mmalive · 2018-07-12T03:25:47.000Z

I missed out on Convoy L6 Clear. Hopefully, nice update to this style of light.

How did you miss out? Clear L6 is still for sale.

I’m not sure why you posted in this thread, though.

Today’s the last day, but I can’t seem to find it. I’d like to get a Champaign Sofirn SP32a v2. What’s the URL? The one I found wouldn’t let me order.
