Commercial Sellers' Spot

Hi BLFers,

Sofirn SC31 pro and Sofirn SP35 have been released more than 3 years now, and we’re not sure if the two models still suitable enough for people used. After careful consideration, SOFIRN Factory decided combining the advantages of both two models in one.

Also, SOFIRN engineer just told me they have been completed the testing of the prototype, and I’ll be receiving the samples within the next three days. Before the prototype arrived, we hope to get more opinions or ideas on community.

What do you think makes a high-quality budget EDC buck flashlight? What features, specifications, and innovations would you like to see in this new flashlight? Producing a best budget light is our goal forever.

I have both models, so I’m fascinated to see what comes of this combination!

In order of importance:

  1. Anduril, Anduril, and Anduril. You have it already in the SP31 Pro, so please keep it on the new light.
  2. Ditto, the regulated driver from the SP35.
  3. Please use the ATTiny1616 (or even better, the new AVR32DD20) and standard 3-pin flashing pads in the @gchart/@thefreeman layout (ground on center, positive and signal in the extremities) – I think you do it already in the newest versions of the SP31 Pro.
  4. Please stop using that awful SST40 LED – nowadays at least the SFT40 is the minimum acceptable. There are also other nice LEDs around (and I’m pretty sure other posters will be giving you a piece of their minds about them :smiley: ) , but I’m familiar with the SFT40 and it really rocks when compared to the SST.
  5. RGB Aux LEDs on the switch would be nice. Ditto USB-C port for charging and powerbank (aka reverse charging) capability.
  6. Also please keep the reversible tube from the SP31 Pro, ditto the magnetic tailcap option.

That’s what I can think of for now. Thanks for asking! :+1:

Do you mean Anduril+Buck driver ?

That is the most thing I would wish for. Anduril + Buck. SFT40 5000K please :slight_smile:

Both of these model will be excellent with BUCK constant current driver.

SP35 already has regulated output, but it should be updated to be even more efficient.

You can call them SC31 Pro ‘C’, and SP35 2.0 - or SP35C.

I don’t mind UI of SP35, but if you make BUCK version of SC31 Pro, it should remain ANDURIL 2.0.

I will buy 12 pieces if this model is created. :+1: :+1: :+1:

I would like to see, in addition to an efficient constant-output driver:

  • lower CCT choice of the emitter <=5000K
  • 18350 tube option
  • a rotary jog dial switch like in IF30 and/or an indexed dial around it (like in DL08) - anything that would limit the proliferation of the Morse-coded, multifunction button :-). An on/off button is great and functional but it becomes a liability when attempting to assign too many functions to it, I recon.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe a simple UI version is needed if the desire is to be recommended for family and friends. Don’t get me wrong, I’d want the Anduril version but I can’t say the same for my coworker or their family.

I came to appreciate a good button and protection as well. The Emisar D3AA with a raised button retaining ring and very affirmative button press make me able to pocket carry without fear of accidental turning on.
