I’m guessing it’s a SST40.
Looks like they added a listing for a bare SST40 6500K emitter. Maybe they stocked them for this light. The claimed “2000” lumens makes sense with this LED.

Other differences I noticed with the “PRO” version is a black clip and the tailcap has a lanyard hole. No mention of a magnet though.

I will very likely buy one. Just want to know exactly what it is first.

You have a good point, there. I bet that’s correct. If it really is an SST40, wouldn’t it also be likely that the driver is a 4A or 5A constant current design? There is a magnetic tailcap available in the parts & accessories drop-down menu. In fact, the magnetic tailcap page actually has a combo with the SC31 Pro at the bottom of the page which makes the tailcap free. You lose the lanyard hole, though.

Glue never stopped anyone. They use varying amounts of glue so some are easy and some are less easy but a vice or some pliers does the trick. I have a vice with rubber on the jaws and use an old cut up leather belt and clamp it down. That is usually enough leverage

True, if you’ve got the tools and means. I wonder if Sofirn would sell the host and driver separately, though. Less mess!

No, if it’s Anduril and Sofirn and 2000lm it’s a FET for sure

Trust me you dont want to assemble an e-switch with USB charging from scratch in this small of host. It’s MUCH easier to get the bezel off.

Looks like the page for the SC31 PRO has been updated.
More pictures and confirms SST40. Included battery is the 3000mah one.

Just saw a SC31 PRO listed on sofirnlight.

https://sofirnlight.com/sc31-pro-2000-lumen-with-battery-p0134.html

Apparently Anduril and type C charging.

My question is what is the emmiter? Say 6500K and 2000 lumens.
Does it come with a battery?

SC31 Pro use SST20 leds.
It comes with battery.

The description in the link says SST40.

I just saw the few pix from Chatika vas Paus and Tom E over in the Sofirn General Development thread. I see what you mean. lol

Andúril 2 coming to Sofirn - The general Sofirn development thread LED Flashlights – General Info

At my request, Barry added SP32A v2.0 host to the store. I like the look. After 84 days the package arrived and I am very disappointed. This is total diy. Each part of this flashlight came separately. On the one hand, it’s great, but I was hoping that at least the button would be pressed into the body. I was thinking a bit about how to put it together and when I was able to solve the mistery I broke the plastic pin that was to be pressed into the black disc. I hit too hard or at the wrong angle…

This has happened before. Be careful what you wish for, specially with e-switch lights. Much easier for PCB mounted switches and standard size drivers. The SC31B is a much better candidate, but on a deal it's so cheap, not sure a host version is worth it: [image] Running Anduril now: [image] Actually I take that back. I see the price at $5.49 - wow! Give me a SC31B host, preferably with the switch PCB for under $10 and I'd buy a bunch!

What’s the news about Q8 4*XHP50.2(3V)?

Not good:
[old Interest list, do not use] (was: XHP50.2 (3V) boards for Q8 no longer available)

We wait and see.

If market need is rich, factory will produce it.

C8F in Desert Tan / Green are availble on our website now. Are you ready to try new color?

Skylight · 2020-08-12T12:23:16.000Z

Looks nice.

Do you offer a host version of the C8F in green and brown as well!?

icpart · 2020-08-12T20:06:28.000Z

From description of SC31 Pro driver is based on SP36 so it is FET+1 driver anyway. I decided to order a flashlight but when I saw that it was only in 6500K version and I gave up. Sofirn please release 5000K version as well.
For C8F I will wait for desert tan LH351D version.

Tom_E · 2020-08-12T14:52:54.000Z

I really like the beam tint of an SST-40 5000K LED. Maybe the XPL-HI 3C or 5D are a bit better, but the SST-40 5000K looks pretty darn good to me.

Even though I got two SC31-B's already, give ma a green or tan/copper Pro with a 5000K SST-40 and I'll definitely buy one of each!

Maybe. But now material left of C8F in green and brown is a little.

Thanks for your feedback. I will told our R&D team your need.

There will be also SC31PRO in Silver color with smooth knurling and LH351D 2700k/4000k version?

Can the SP31V2 please be updated with a single frequency strobe (10Hz) and the strobe mode be memorized so that it can be used with the forward clicky switch?
That would make it the ultimate budget light for light painters.

This is not in our plan on SP31V2, but there will be a real tactical light with momentry-on Strobe.
