The IF23 Pro is a new release from Sofirn. It’s a powerful Do-It-All flashlight. I’ve had this cool light for about a week and I thought I would share my review of this light if it was on your radar.
What’s in the box:
1 Sofirn IF23 Pro Led flashlight
1 Sofirn 21700 battery 5000 mAH
1 USB-C cable
1 Lanyard
2 Spare O-rings

First Impressions:
Shipping was fast and the light came in very nice packaging. This is a heavier light and everything about the light looks and feels like a quality build. The stainless steel clip is sturdy and already installed. The finishing gives the light a good feel and a nice grip. Sofirn has simplified the IF23 Pro user interface over the IF23. I found the UI intuitive and relatively easy to operate.
