Suggestions for new EDC - Sofirn SP10 Pro or SC21 Pro or SC21?

LED Flashlights – General Info

Which EDC is better in your opinion and why?

Any other better options in their price range?

I read that SC21 is more efficient than SC21 Pro but comes without low voltage cut off so need to be careful.

Don’t recall the ’21s, but the ’10 is dual-fuel, so that might be a consideration.

For the SP10 Pro:

Supports both AA and 14500 batteries. Slimmer but longer than the SC21 pro. No lighted switch. Does 900 lumens on lithium batteries. No built-in charging.

For the SC21 Pro:

Only lithium batteries. Shorter but fatter than the SP10 pro. Has a lighted switch. 1100 lumens. Built in USB-C charging. Comes with magnetic tail cap installed. Now ships with Anduril 2.0

I also had to make the same decision and opted for the SC21 Pro, specifically for the lighted switch and the shorter size. Not sure if the difference in output can be visually noticed. Didnt care much for the SC21 mini as I wanted Anduril UI

Slimmer diameter is imo more important for pocketability. Especially in smaller pockets or bags, you’ll feel that extra girth. Also, multi chemistry. Sp10 pro gets my vote every time.

I have both. Here all the differences have already been correctly noted. As far as I know, SC21 has a simple interface, without Anduril, but there is an option to choose a warmer light. The SC21 Pro only has 5000K.
I like the SC21 Pro visually more. Baby, but with a powerful light and a button with an indication.

Just buy ’em all, and let everyone know the results.

SC21 Pro because lighted button, and Anduril 2

I dont use AA batteries, so the SP10 dual fuel is not important to me, and I HATE the invisible button.

I prefer the shorter size of the SC21 Pro.

No interest in the SC21 Mini, because I dont want to have to remember another UI… I have chosen to focus on Anduril lights…

Another light I recommend is the Wurkkos TS10. It has a tailswitch, which I like better than side switches.

but what I Actually EDC, and have in my pocket right now, is a Jetbeam RRT-01, because I LOVE the stepless Rotary UI.

Adding Wurkkos FC11 to this comparison, what do you think?

I just got my new Sofirn SP33S and it feels quite compact, I believe something that is slightly slimmer and shorter (Such as 18650 EDC flashlights) will work very well for me.

no experience, is the button illuminated so you can find it in the dark?..

I really do not like sideswitches that cannot be seen in the dark, nor the ones that stick up and can turn on in pocket unless you use lockout

but… IF you want a highly respected, non anduril 18650 light with a non illuminated sideswitch that does NOT stick up… I suggest the Zebra SC64 LE

I have not tried one… but some owners rave about them for being very long running (at low outputs). Apparently they are one of the smallest, lightest weight, 18650 lights available, and they have a screwed on pocket clip, that I much prefer over the press on types.

Uh oh, that’s way over my budget :smiley:

I am willing to spend up to 40$~

ok, well, I think you did well to decide first on what battery size you want…

I recommend you read reviews by zeroair, specific for 18650 size… he provides very excellent info:

I hope you enjoy your flashlight quest… be warned, if you spend time around us here, you will not stop with just one

I really like the shape and size of 16340 lights but 14500 cells usually have more capacity and the body ends up being almost the same size. My only complaint with the SC21pro is that the button can be annoying to locate quickly by feel.
