ordered LEDs from Convoy, arrived in 17 days
SP10 PRO ordered 13 days ago. It is in USA, about 3 more post office transfers away.
Tracking update from today says that it has already arrived in my city, so maybe tomorrow after 12 days.
Gents, stop addressing this painful subject 
Nothing everybody can really do right now. Because of the pandemic and now with further Chinese lockdowns global shipping is just frakked. Just wait for Evergreen to crash another ship xD
Just strange that mine comes earlier, although ordered later. But if you like you can come visit me (near Hannover) and play a little with my SP10 Pro.
Review is a good idea, but probably I’ll just link to my SP10 V3 review and add a runtime chart with Anduril’s thermal regulation.
Nah, it’s probably not worth it, but thanks for your offer 
.
And just like that the black ones popped up out of nowhere. 1 with bezel completely glue free and the other one glued shut and will require heating or dynamite… I’m at a total loss on why this is so random 
So when do the blue hosts and other CCTs start being sold? Anyone knows?
Btw, maybe I overlooked it somewhere in the 56(!) pages of this thread, but turbo does not result in any noticeable increase in brightness compared to the default highest ramp level. Is it supposed to be like that? Turbo disabled by default?
The top of ramp is maximum output (that is, equivalent to Turbo). Since this isn’t some several-thousand lumen light, we didn’t see any need to have the top of the ramp be less than maximum output. If you want, you can set the top of the ramp to be less than maximum though.
actually Turbo enabled as default
Ah that explains it. Never ran into this before with any of my other Anduril lights, so it stood out. It’s fine as it is, it’s ramping after all. Just need to stop pressing earlier if I want it less bright 
Mine just showed up today. Ordered 3/19. I never look at tracking so I don’t know what it showed. Since it looks like my previous SP10’s I am familiar with it. But so far I can’t switch from simple UI to advanced UI.
Edit: Doh! I now see 10H means click 9 times and hold the 10th. Now I really love it. The only problem is remembering all the Anduril 2 commands since I was used to the old one.
I received my black SP10 Pro today from Sofirn. It took 19 days to get to Chicago, not bad. Unfortunately, the 14500 battery that was to be included was missing from the order! I contacted Sofirn and asked them to send me the battery.
But, it sure works great with an Eneloop. The ceiling is much brighter than I expected.
Now to learn Anduril 2…
Amazing! Sofirn responded to my email within minutes and said they have shipped the missing 14500 battery. Thumbs up for Sofirn.
Hate AE and their bogus coupons/taxes
Purchased a black one for $25 shipped with a coupon. Hoping green gets in stock soon. Doubt blue will be available for a while since the regular sp10 hasn’t had blue in stock for months.
Green and red were probably the easier ones to anodize since the regular sp10 is still selling those colors
Factories probably shut down a little bit due to the lockdowns. I wonder if the regular sp10 will also have a restock of blue.
Looking at red and green pictures, all Sofirn had to do was change the words on the host hence why red and green were probably available so fast
I wonder what color button blue will have. Can’t decide if black or silver is better.
Mine arrived today (EU). Ordered on 30th March, from both Ali (black) and from Sofirn store (red). The Ali black arrived today, the other one still in transit.
It also does this “change lightness when turning it off” thingy. Mostly it goes lower for maybe .3-.5 seconds and then it turns off. But I had it also go to full power output, which was unpleasant to say the least.
Regarding the clip, I almost immediately broke mine. Pulled it off the light to try to squeeze it a bit since it was very loose. It shattered with a very little force.
So I used one from tool AA with some grinding since the part that hugs the body is a bit wider than the slot. It fits nice for my uses. Shame the tube is not reversible, so I can’t use it on a cap like the original one.
Overall, I’m pretty satisfied for now. Using it with the 14500 battery that came with the tool AA as well, which gives me Micro USB charging, and a solid output.

Did two mods to my SP10 pro and the thing became better for me.
1) A dedomed Nichia 519A brought the CCT to 3350K, CRI to 96.5, R9 96, and duv a cosy rosy –0.0037 (at some medium setting). A good tint became a much better tint for the snob. The output went down 80 lumens from 300 to 220 lm so this is not for everyone.
2) I sanded a M8 brass washer to shape and glued it as a bezel around the switch with clear Araldite epoxy so that the button does not stick out anymore, switching action is still good and I bet it does not fire in my pocket accidentally nearly as often as without it.
Stupid question, eventually, but does anyone have a photo of the driver OR does anyone know if the SP10 Pro driver fits the SP10A/B hosts?
I have 2 hosts of those needing drivers…
