Well, that are too many questions to answer. I never knew I would be asked these questions.
I am not good at telling story and people who know sofirn for years know that sofirn team don’t tell story but believe products tell themselves.
But if people want to know, I am trying my best.
SOFIRN is a brand owned by Jinba ltd which is a factory company owned by Qingdong Yang, the founder of Jinba ltd. In about 2010, Jinba ltd started as OEM and ODM. Business is always not easy in the beginning. But Jinba ltd surived and had a great cooperation with “T*Fire” which is known by many BLFers, but finally all “T*Fire” flashlight projects were cancelled by the owner for some reason. Yang started to thinking about having his own brand. Then sofirn was registered.
More and more people started to know sofirn brand since we started selling on amazon, aliexpress, sofirnlight.com (official retail website). Sofirn products means high quality but reasonable and affordable prices. That’s caused low profits but Yang believes sofirn will be liked when buyers have one. Jinba ltd doesn’t have enough funds on beautiful boxes, ads, key opinion leaders cooperation like other big brands do. It’s all right. If sofirn sells more, more people have and like sofirn products, more people will share sofirn products online or offline. It feels like sofirn products promote themselves.
Where to buy sofirn products?
sofirn has official store on amazon, eBay, aliexpress, shopee, lazada as well as official retail website: www.sofirnlight.com

OTHER BRANDS?
YAKORSEI is a new brand of Jinba ltd, Yang wanted to have a higher standard brand like Fenix, Olight, Nitecore. We believe this higher stardard brand will make the desgin team, QC team, and CNC team better.
Wurkkos? It’s not part of Jinba ltd, not part of sofirn. Jinba ltd keeps the role as OEM and ODM. Wurkkos belongs to another company that I don’t know much about. But since products were designed by the same team, you will notice the similarity between sofirn and wurkkos. If you want to support sofirn team, choose sofirn first please.
