EDIT 2020-08-10 22:34::: Marked as expired as all AU stock is sold. Code may still work for overseas stock, though (haven't tested).

EDIT 2020-08-10 08:50::: AU stock of these three lights exhausted. More stock is being sent.

EDIT 2020-08-06 22:30::: SP36 Anduril version is sold out as of 8:30pm, thanks miguellin737

EDIT 2020-08-06 19:00::: SP32A is sold out as of 5pm this afternoon, thanks mad1dude

Disclaimer: I’m not technically affiliated with Sofirn, but have had dealings with them in the past by reviewing some of their lights - they have passed this information on to me to send to anywhere/one that I think it might be useful to; my understanding is that the codes expire at the end of the month. I've hit the "Associated" button anyway, just to be as open as I can.

Sofirn now have stock in AmazonAU warehouses - no more long waiting times from China at the mercy of international shipping!

For those not in the know, Sofirn make some pretty great flashlights/torches (I hate that I use the US word, but it's engrained in my head due to being in that community now) at quite reasonable prices.

The codes below give 15% off the listed price on AmazonAU - the SP36 kit is cheaper here, shipped locally, than it is on AliExpress. The SP32A is slightly more expensive, but that’s offset by getting your hands on it far sooner along with Amazon’s storefront and policies.

The models they have available with discount are:

SP36 Kit - includes SP36, 3x18650 to suit
* Andúril version ($67.99): PNZMMA3Q SOLD OUT
* NarsilM version ($81.99 $69.69): CD2IZBYU

SP32A Kit - Includes SP32A v2.0, 18650, charger ($37.39): KV3JRVJQ SOLD OUT

I’ve had an SP36 with Andúril for some time now, and have reviewed it - it’s great, and the LH351Ds in it give fantastic colour rendering. The NarsilM version has a slightly different UI but fairly similar, and is a slightly "cooler" white, but has higher lumen output.

I’m told other models of theirs are en route to AmazonAU warehouses at the moment (SP40, SP31 v2.0, C8F, SD05), and I’ll post up codes for those lights when I receive them.

    @oweban

    Hey, thanks for chucking up all the other info in the comments. IF these are flooders, what would you recommend for a thrower?

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 13:19
      +1

      Ooh. Sofirn don't have any throwers on AmazonAU, unfortunately. They've got the C8G and C8A elsewhere, though. That said, I don't think they're USB-charging though, unless that's not a problem for you.

      • futureminime on 06/08/2020 - 13:33
        +3

        Not set either way. Have a few old torches around and don't use them that much but I like the idea of having a good quality one for when you do need it/getting one as a present. USB charging is definitely a plus now days.

        Thanks for the quick response. I know you've said you're only slightly affiliated but you're really going above and beyond and I'm sure everyone else on here appreciates it as much as I do.

          Not a problem at all! That said, I'm not one to talk about "a few torches" - I don't have a problem at all, and I totally don't have another bunch on the way.

    • beefsandwich on 06/08/2020 - 14:33

      If you want something cheap but decent, check out the Convoy C8+ from Aliexpress or Banggood. They go on special fairly regularly and are a pretty impressive thrower.

  • dav3 on 06/08/2020 - 13:34

    Seems fairly similar to the BLF Q8, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for any future thrower deals

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 13:47

      Indeed - basically Q8 with three cells instead of four, and inbuilt charging. Also with lovely LH351Ds in there for high CRI :D

  • ironpaw on 06/08/2020 - 17:48

    How do these compare to Thorfire?

    I bought a bunch of Thorfire and Convoy 18560 torches and they all died a year later.

    What's the warranty on these?

    • Skinnerr on 06/08/2020 - 18:41

      Stop comparing 'brands'. They slap all manner of names on whatever torch they make cos they share factories, do model/brand crossovers and I'm sure other tricks. Scrutinise the individual model of torch, not the brand.

      That said I have a 7 year old convoy thats still going so 'it died' isn't much to go on.

  • ilovejapan on 06/08/2020 - 19:02

  • plague69 on 06/08/2020 - 20:16

    Just out of curiosity, what does everyone use these super bright flashlights for?

    I went on a flashlight spree a few years ago (Thanks OZB lol), and they've been sitting in my drawer for the past 3-5 years. Took them camping a few times, but when I turn them off, I'm blind, so I just take a red light now

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 22:36

      For when you absolutely positively have to light up every …thing in sight :) You're right, it wrecks night vision, but at least they're adjustable. The super high modes are definitely for the "wow" factor.

    • Sillen on 07/08/2020 - 07:50

      I take my torches for a walk at night. Sometimes I bring to the dog as well.

    • Caped Baldy on 07/08/2020 - 09:09

      I leave mine on my desk next to bed. It has an always on light (when it's off and not in use) so you can find it in the dark.

      I take it camping and for walks.

  • SickMyDuck on 06/08/2020 - 23:14

    I got BLF A6 and Convoy S2 for my edc and Astrolux FT03 for a thrower (or flooder not sure if use the right term). Keen to try SP36 to add into collection

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 23:16

      Which emitter did you get on the FT03? They're generally a thrower due to the reflector size, but the XHP50.2 gives a much wider beam; I'd still call it a thrower though.

      Some good lights you've got there though, for sure. I think this'll definitely tell Sofirn they need to send some more lights down this way!

      • SickMyDuck on 06/08/2020 - 23:24

        I think it is SST-40W. wasn't really sure the difference btw mine and XHP50.2 though. But it already bright enough that my neighbour starts to think I own a bat signal lol.

        • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 23:25

          The SST40 is more throwy :) The "beam" on the XHP50.2 version is a a bit wider, and doesn't reach out quite as far, but for the price, they're bloody good.

          My neighbours have wondered what's happening when I light the GT90 up… oops.

          • SickMyDuck on 06/08/2020 - 23:27

  • Punkboy on 06/08/2020 - 23:21

    I like that you preferred to call them a torch but then used the word flashlight in the title. As this isn't a "flashlight" community site, why not call it a torch?

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 06/08/2020 - 23:24

      Force of habit, I think, then never went back to fix it. You make a good point, though. That said, given the first comment has made a pun on the title, it'd probably be poor form to change it now (next time!).

  • alt on 07/08/2020 - 02:09

    Any deals on just a 18650 torch with over discharge protection? I've got a few samsung cells pulled from a cordless tool battery and a LiitoKala 402 to charge already. Probably looking for something that performs like the Thorfire Q8 (extra points if will work with "nipple-less" type 18650 cells). Tbh really just looking for a beastly torch for the sake of it haha

    Thanks in Advance!

    • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 07/08/2020 - 09:01

      Unfortunately there's not a lot of flat-top compatible multi-cell monsters out there. Single cell hotrods though, there's a few - check this list out: https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/hermh9/arbitrar…

      • alt on 07/08/2020 - 10:26

        Thanks!

        I'm also happy to do some mods to the cells to get them to work if there's a torch that'll fit the bill?

        • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 07/08/2020 - 10:45
          +2

          I think the big issue is that single cell hotrods will heat up fast due to small thermal mass. But if you're absolutely intent on this, and know the risks going in, there's not much better than the Emisar D4v2, with XPL HI 5000K.

          https://intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d4v2-high-power-led-flashlig…

          Other options I'd suggest is raised ring, magnetic tailcap, stainless steel bezel, and clip. Keep in mind that's USD, and shipped from China; those options take it all to 60USD.

          https://i.imgur.com/l5WPUF4.jpg

          Sofirn have an IF25A that's similar, but at a more price-conscious point; different emitters though.

          • alt on 09/08/2020 - 19:34

            @oweban: Thanks for the great replies!

            Any multi-cell monsters though? I've got like 10 cells so hoping to do something with them haha

            • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 10/08/2020 - 08:41

              @alt: Hmmm, I'll have to have a think about it. Most of the multi-cell monsters are button-top; that said, I got flat tops working in my MF01 (not MF01s) even though it's not designed for it, but I wouldn't recommend that; the UI is garbage.

              There's also things like the Thrunite TN42, but price starts getting way up there.

              The other way to do it (AND I DID NOT RECOMMEND THIS) is to put solder "blobs" on your cells to make them button top - that means you can use them in something like a BLF/Sofirn Q8, or MF01S, or Emisar D18… but again, it's not a super great idea, as heating up the cells to make the solder stick to it is a very fine line between "solder is sticking" and "cell is venting".

              • alt on 11/08/2020 - 04:24

                @oweban: Hmm yeah preferably something under or around $100 (but as always on ozb – the cheaper the better)

                The non-recommended method is what I meant when I said I was happy to try and mod my cells hahaha
                Do you think it might be safer/easier to modify the torch itself instead? i.e. solder a blob or spring-like extension to the battery contacts?

                • Associatedoweban @ sofirn-au on 11/08/2020 - 09:18

                  @alt: Depends how handy you're feeling, I guess - but with things like the SP36 and the Q8, it's more about the way the cells contact the driver:

                  https://i.imgur.com/HwBzp8T.jpg

                  Basically the "buttons" press against that inner ring, so when you tighten the cap, they stay in contact.

                  If you're happy to give modding the cells ago, then just take it slow and careful :)

                  • alt on 13/08/2020 - 05:08

                    @oweban: Ah I see, but I guess if I can find a way to 'raise' that ring…

                    Will do haha wouldn't want a combusting cell in my hands

                    Were you able to come up with any multicell monster recommendations in the sub $100 range with discharge protection?

                    Thanks!
