Sometimes with the language/culture issues, they either don't understand the question, are confused if there's more than one question, or they don't know the answer, or could be some combination thereof.
Safe to assume it's a DTP copper MCPCB. I'd ask about the tint, for example, as a stand-alone question - just 1 question at a time.
Just got an IF25A, 4000k today. It’s still daytime at the time of writing, so I haven’t played with it much, but in short I really like it.
I used to have a “tint-changing” IF25, but already sold it, so I can’t compare them side by side.
Here are some my initial observations,
1. The surface of the light is more matte-ish, unlike that of the original IF25, which is glossy.
2. There is no manual and charging cable included (I opted for a flashlight only option).
3. The Anduril UI seems to be taking from that used in BLF LT1. You can now click 7 times to change the light button, whether to have it blink, bright, dimmed or no light.
4. While in candle mode, click and hold to dim, not just click after increasing the brightness.
5. There is no blink at the mid and the top of the ramp.
6. The beam pattern seems to resemble that of Lumintop FW series. To my eye, the beam looks floodier than the beam of IF25, which is a big defined hotspot. Sofirn might have changed the lens?
I feel that it’s brighter, but not that considerably brighter as the one I have got is a 4000k version. If you get a 6500k version, it might be much brighter. But the original IF25 is noticiably more throwy. This new IF25A seems to be floodier and has more intense spill, which, to me, making it more useful as an EDC light.
I haven’t tested the step-down of the brightness at turbo mode, nor I have a test meter to measure the current drawn in each mode. However, at turbo, the light heats up quite fast as you might expect, but also cools down quite quickly.
Can't tell from a back shot. The rectangles on the left and right means there's a vertical board, could be for the switch mounting, but not sure. There's no programming pins though.
According to Sofirn there will be no SP36 with XHP50.2 3V for reasons of insufficient thermal dissipation. The Q8 host has more potential for driving four pieces of this LED.
