+1. However, if they can reduce Low to 3lm or so, that would be acceptable. The spec is 5lm, but gchart measures 12lm, so it definitely needs to come down.
The button position can’t really be changed and that’s okay for this iteration as Sofirn tends to go to “v2” within a few months 
.
MicroUSB is a terrible connector, but unavoidable at this price. I won’t use it, anyway. Surprisingly, I do sometimes use the USB-C charging on my Astrolux FT03, mainly because it’s faster than my “real” charger. I think built-in charging is great for muggles that can get everything they need in one kit, but I’d gladly trade it for a better UI or an extra strap (they wear out quickly, though I’m still using some 16 years old).
Thanks goodness there’s no SOS :+1: , especially one in the main sequence! There’s a special place in hell for companies that put any bright flashing mode there.
The AliExpress page adds Sofirn’s “3000mAh” 18650 to the kit for $3 more. Nooner found the cell to be a DLG that 59 reported to be similar to the LG MH1. That’s not a high-drain cell, but $3 is fair enough. Note that Sofirn’s protected “3400mAh” cell was found to be the exact same battery.
Too bad we can’t have Narsil or Anduril on everything 
. Budget drivers likely don’t use ATtinys, but a man can dream.
I need a new headlamp and would love to buy a Sofirn, so… firmware improvement would be nice and a group buy would be awesome.
Summarized:
# Lowest level < 5lm
# Hold from Off —> Moon/Low
If #2 is unreasonable, what about disabling mode memory and always starting at Moon/Low? 3-mode lights don’t really need memory and turbo is always available.
