Sofirn SP10 Pro (AA/14500/Andúril 2) - now available!

Remember - auto lock would still have to be set up in advanced UI for it to carry over to simple UI. There would be no danger of someone accidentally enabling auto lock from within simple UI.

Active Poll #1 for 7 days from now on:

Would you like Auto-Lock to be integrated in Andúril 2 Simple UI?

Active poll #2 for 14 days from now on:

What anodizing do you prefer for SP10 Pro?

I agree with the points that have been made: keep Simple UI simple. I voted no.

The driver will have flashing pads. If anyone really wants this as an option, they could flash some custom firmware.

Aah yes you’re right I forgot about that part, guess I’ll do that then :innocent:

+1

I intend to use post #2, currently empty, for (alternative) firmware repository links and download links to the manual/UI diagrams.

Moreover, additional information how to build a suitable flashing adapter or where to get a possible Sofirn-made adapter could be posted there, too.

Great work :smiley:

Hope the next project will be the SP35 Pro where it will be the similar big brother of the SP10 Pro :wink:

I think its Dangerous and irresponsible to have Simple come with a 150/150 ceiling, AND no lockout…

The FWAA Simple mode also has a 150/150 ceiling.
but
The FWAA Simple mode Does have Lockout….

I just tested it… I know Im in simple cause triple click from off, gives battery level only once, and triple click from On does nothing.

imo Simple should NOT come with 150/150 ceiling

First off, no one is saying that Simple UI won’t have lockout. I think you might have misread something. What we’re talking about is auto-lock in Simple UI, which I feel will probably just get confusing and is why it was excluded from Simple UI in the first place. The normal lockout mechanism will still exist in SP10 Pro’s Simple UI, and is shown as such in Lux-Perpetua’s diagram.

Secondly, if you’re worried about Simple UI having a 150/150 ceiling, then perhaps the SP10 Pro isn’t for you. But I don’t think there’s anything dangerous about it. No one is getting burnt from an SP10. It has no higher output than the stock SP10S that Sofirn has now been selling for years. If anything, it is now safer since it will have thermal regulation.

Maybe L-P can copy those graphs to the OP. These are very informative, and 36 pages is like impossible to go through.

got it, youre right, I misunderstood

> Secondly, if you’re worried about Simple UI having a 150/150 ceiling, then perhaps the SP10 Pro isn’t for you.

youre right again,
I keep thinking the SP10 will have the same 150/150 of 1200 lumens on LiIon, like the FWAA

youve reminded me we covered this before,
and I concluded the Eneloop option in the SP10 PRO will eliminate any Fear of Turbo…

Thanks for looking into this gchart, having a cheap flasher option would be great indeed.

As far as I know there is only one readily available, user friendly Anduril flashing solution on the market: Hank’s adapter set with pogo pins. Can we please make this light compatible with it?

I know, maker have their own preference and opinion on how the pins should be arranged and some offer designs to make PCBs and solder pogo pins and all that, but for the average user that is not worth the hustle in my opinion. So, please, make it compatible with the only flashing solution that s readily available.

Not possible. Sorry, this is a newer generation of AVR chip that uses a newer flashing standard (UPDI instead of ISP).

Is there a possibility to use the pogo pin adapter from that set, at least?

Not that adapter, but another: link. And if all goes well, Sofirn might be able to sell a cheap flashing kit along with the SP10 Pro.

If they can sell a complete flashing kit, including the pogo pin adapter, that will be great!

I reallly wish the FWAA had this driver. Dang. Saw the single emitter version is getting close. This combo would be dreamy IMO. SP10 pro might be the first EDC sized light with side switch that I’ve bought since the SC63w 5yrs ago.

Done.

Will try my best to convince Sofirn in making it happen. SC21 Pro with the 1616 chip will hopefully have the flashings pads, too. So, the more new drivers we get to see in the future, the more worthwhile and economically viable it will be to have a flashing device in place.

Are you able to shed any light on what the SC21 Pro will have over the SC21?

So far, I only know that Sofirn wants to offer SC21 with Andúril 2 and the 1616 chip. I can only guess but most of the specs will probably remain the same.

The most important differences:

  • 1616 MCU, i.e. accurately calibrated voltage and thermal sensing
  • Andúril 2 instead of Sofirn's proprietary UI
  • (option to flash different firmware via flashing pads - yet to be verified)
  • configurable ATR
  • adjustable switch button light (if applicable)

Personally, I would not mind if Sofirn were to increase the tube's inner diameter to fit with 18350 batteries. On a side note, I am not involved in the development of SC21 Pro.
