I have ordered the Sofirn IF23.
Although I have serious concerns about the firmware, auto-lock feature, output swings, lack of features for the color LEDs, etc. and am slightly miffed at the lack of response by @Sofirn despite their reported involvement in this community … I could not find a different light that is as diverse. So, like the one for my wife, we bought the IF23 to help understand our own requirements better and hopefully something will come along that addresses those concerns (or takes away the need for the feature!).
Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome to this forum and the very helpful comments! Had it not been for that, I may just have picked up a cheap gas station light somewhere and call it a day. Thank you!
