    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 05/07/2021 - 12:53

      I'm using my LT1 as a backup in case there's a power outage. I twist the cap slightly to disconnect the batteries so that they don't go flat. I took it on holiday to Wilson's Prom between lockdowns but my Sofirn IF25A was more than enough. I used the IF25A walking back with my family after sunset.

    Any diving torches?

    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 05/07/2021 - 12:46
      +1

      There aren't any Sofirn diving torched in the Amazon Australia warehouse. It'd take 10-15 days to arrive if ordered from the warehouse in China.

      I'm not too familiar with diving torches. I'm a fan of Sofirn. They have SD01, SD02A, DF30, DF60.

      I'd recommend checking reviews and r/flashlight

      If you have one in mind, you could ask on the Sofirn AU FB group.

      • mmd on 05/07/2021 - 13:45

        Yes the SD05 was the one i was chasing. Any deal on that?

      • Tdsr on 05/07/2021 - 15:24

        • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 05/07/2021 - 15:46
          +4

          I erred on the side of caution and just marked myself as "associated". I don't really fit the definition of "associated" under ozbargain's terms.

          I'm an enthusiast over on r/flashlight and I've volunteered to moderate on the Sofirn Flashlights AU Group and XTAR fans club on FB. I did receive a case and C01S for an LT1 review, and I won a RC-200 flashlight and PB2C charger from XTAR. Some might see it as a conflict of interest if they see "Moderator" over on FB and a post here.

          Vivi has asked me to post a few deals over the past year. I'm not a store rep though.

      I picked up the SD05 last time it was on here for around $37.
      Amazing torch for scuba. Outdoes my partner's torch that she bought form Adreno for $100+.

      If diving professionally/tec diving you may want to buy a torch from a dive shop (i.e. $$$).
      The SD05 is great for recreation divers or as a back up tec torch.

  • goingDHfast on 05/07/2021 - 12:39

    What brand of emitters do these use? Cree XM-L2 was the best for pocket torches a few years back at this price point. Can't tell from the ads so thinking these may be no name Chinese LEDs?

    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 05/07/2021 - 13:11

      I've seen Sofirn use Cree, Luminus and Samsung LEDs.

      SP40 Cree XP-L, LT1 Samsung LH351D, SP36 Pro/SP35/SC31 Pro Luminus SST40.

      They put some warm Samsung LH351D 4000K in SP40 on their website due to customer demand. They've been pretty active in the community on BLF, r/flashlight and FB. Some community members propose an idea, come up with designs, members express an interest, and Sofirn goes and produces it. BLF LT1 was one such idea. Another was a small AAA keychain flashlights C01R with a Cree XP-E2 Photo Red emitter that was later changed to Luminus SST-20-DR.

    Bought a previous deal on the SP40. Great little headlight and came with a magnetic tail cap. The 18650 battery that came with is was quite good too.

    • sarakoth on 05/07/2021 - 13:16

      Was about to post the same… got is just under $38 previously but love the magnetic tail cap, great combo of a headlamp or freestanding and plenty bright enough.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2021 - 13:36

      SP40 and LT1 (lantern) are excellent lights

    • SEasternCry on 05/07/2021 - 15:16
      +1

      Would recommend getting your hands on SP40 with the LH351D emitter if you can. It has a higher CRI with better colour rendering. See this [r/flashlight post] (https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/l49v21/why_cril…) for more information.

  • unit0000 on 05/07/2021 - 14:11

    Bought a LT1 lantern, excellent light. One of the underrated features is that you can make it "warm" yellow light rather than cold white. A friend had another lantern which was bright white, but the light was horrible. We use it at a property which is off the grid, when the generator goes down etc. Great light.

    Hi..

    Are there still any that use AA batteries for the eneloop / Laada hoarders?

    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 05/07/2021 - 14:40

      I couldn't see any Sofirn AA flashlights on Amazon but they have SF11, SP10S and HS05 on AE and their website.

      Lumintop CL2 takes 1 to 4 AA or 14500 Lithium cells. Similar to BLF LT1. It doesn't charge NiMH so I almost didn't mention it.

    cheaper for the sc31 pro i got it last month 30 aud delivered from ali

    a step up from the sc31 pro is the sp35, its a bit bulkier with not that much more light, but a great light still. i went for the sc31 cause it was %40 cheaper.

    Sp40 i have its the best headlight under 50 or even under 100.

    BLF lt1 Lantern is much cheaper on Ali

    a note on the sp36 variants heat issue (well talked about on BLF forums), they tend to get very hot very quick to the point of burning your hands. the thermal kicks in and decreases the light output, so it cools down but at the cost of much reduced light output. that's why i got a convoy M3-C instead as it has outstanding thermals for the same size mostly due to its thicker aluminium head and similar performance to the sp36 range.

    • SEasternCry on 05/07/2021 - 15:28

      Just bought the SP40 LH351D 4000K off their website. Might use the shorter 18350 tube.

      Also got a keychain C01R red light to see how it goes for night walks.

      Any recommendations for a charger? XTAR PB2S? Would prefer one that can charges NiMH if that's a viable option.

        • SEasternCry on 05/07/2021 - 15:36

          Thanks! Will have a look.

        Vapcell S4 Plus if you want a large 4 slot charger that handles fairly small cells (10440) to large. It does Lion and NiMH. Current from 0.25A to 3A. AE during a sale is probably the way to go.

        XTAR PB2S is good for portability. It'll do 18650 and 21700. My one is annoying and terminate the charge at 4.175V instead of 4.20V. It doesn't handle 14500, 18350 etc. AE again. The way they list 3 or 4 different products on one product listing is super annoying… it tricks you into thinking that a VC8 might be $15 when it's actually another product. If you look through half a dozen listings on the official AE store you'll find that the same product is listed 5 times at slightly different prices. /rant

        I personally keep putting my NiMH cells in a Powerex MH-C9000 and I use the S4+ for 10440, 14500 and 18350. I bought a XTAR BC4 but it gets a bit hot for my liking.

        I lazily use a Sofirn IF25A to charge 21700.

        XTAR ANT MC1 Plus is ok for 14500 and 18350 when running at 0.5A. There aren't many portable chargers that do small 10440 cells.

        XTAR FC2 is a relatively new dual chemistry charger. 0.5 to 2A. NiMH and Lion. It says it supports 10440 but I wouldn't charge my 10440 cells at 0.5A all the time. I'd prefer 0.25A.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2021 - 15:46

          Have two already. Agree, if you can wait for Ali sales or can get a decent coupon it usually works out 10-15% better than these Sofirn Amazon promotional sales. Post from China via Ali is ~2-3 weeks ime.

            • [Deactivated] on 05/07/2021 - 19:00

              @Phlume: Don't know Phlume, haven't required it. AE has a dispute setup (guarantee?) similar to ebay for non-delivery, incorrect item etc. Light warranty itself is from Sofirn.

              Afaik, if you buy from Sofirn Official or Beamax Lighting on AliEx (as I have) then you're dealing direct with Barry Lee, Sofirn principal.

              Very happy customer here.

  • FrugalNotStingy on 05/07/2021 - 15:32

    I’m tossing up between the SC31 pro and SP35. Which to buy?

    • striker5950 on 05/07/2021 - 15:37

      I answered this above, went with the sc31 pro as the increase in price and size = diminishing returns

      • FrugalNotStingy on 05/07/2021 - 15:53

        Yes you said you went with SC31 because it was 40% cheaper. Not in this deal though. Just thought maybe the $10 price difference from this deal could get me a bit better torch for a small price difference.

    • SEasternCry on 05/07/2021 - 15:47

      SC31 pro wouldn't be a bad choice if you spend a day or two learning the Anduril UI. Any wrong number of clicks and you could spend ages trying to get it back the way you want.

        not really, it was my first anduril light, never messed up with it, i still have not had the time to learn it, but im using it as a beginner, on, off, hold while on to cycle up, once you reach highest, hold again to ramp down. i never had any issues but if you get stuck just go youtube and your back in action.

        • SEasternCry on 05/07/2021 - 15:57

          XD Nice to hear the SC31 Pro is serving you well. I was actually considering it too but got the wurkkos fc11 instead since it had higher CRI and an easier UI for a beginner. Now I want a thrower. An anduril light as well… maybe a Hank light…Ahhh Down the rabbit hole I go.

                    @dav3: check out the L21A with CULPM1 LED, thats about as good as it gets for that size 1000m range. unless you go with something with a wayyy bigger head and harder to carry. keep in mind we are solely talking about throw here, if you want throw and some spill/flood sbt90.2 is the onlyway to go, cons is its more expensive nearly twice the price, and it uses more battery power so shorter run time and it gets hotter faster, which would mean the light output would drop in almost all the lights that host it due to overheating protection. right now as it stands the cheapest sbt90.2 quality flashlights are the two from convoy I mentioned above.

      It was designed by DBSAR on https://budgetlightforum.com/node/44923

      He wanted something that didn't have heaps of glare.

      I bought the LT1 in Oct 2020. It's a bit heavy. I just use it in emergencies. I was hoping the lowest mode would lower so that I could use it as a bedside lamp but I found my Zebralight SC64c LE goes much lower.

    Anyone who buys the LT1 should also consider a case such as this Twister for ~$10 delivered, or the better quality but more expensive Xanad at ~$20. The lantern and its bits fit snugly into both - even better if you use the egg crate foam which the lantern is usually packaged with.

    Wait for an AE sale or use coupons if you want to save a few $.

      You should save your money and stare at the sun

    It's supposed to arrive today, but Amazon shows that it hasn't even shipped yet.

    Should I buy a SP36 with a diffuser from Aliexpress or purchase a LT1?

    Cheers OP, got the LT1 for camping, hope I don't miss the powerbank on rev 6. Anyone had any experience with flashing anduril 2 and can comment on how worthy it is of the process + hardware?

      It's probably LT1 rev 5 on Amazon Australia.

      I've flashed my Emisar D4V2 with Anduril 2. I modified it to lockout automatically and remember when it's locked out. The code is a bit cleaner to work on in Anduril 2.

      I haven't changed my BLF LT1 rev 5.0 from Anduril 1 to 2. I pretty much always have it set to a 2700K tint on the lowest mode and ramp up when needed. I probably won't bother upgrading it.

      It may be useful to upgrade and modify Anduril 2 for an EDC flashlight. Hybrid Memory was updated a few days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/oi1oyd/anduril_…

      Some people prefer the amber/orange button on the BLF LT1 rev 5 compared to the green button on the BLF LT1-A2.

    LT1 coming up as $87.99 with coupon code now.

    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 15/07/2021 - 22:37

      Ah, thanks. It looks like the 5% coupon has gone. Sofirn said it was $87.99 with SFI7MG3U.

    • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 15/07/2021 - 22:48

      I checked the others and noticed that the SC31 Pro kit is now $32.39 delivered…

      • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 16/07/2021 - 11:24

        BV3KSGA2 closed. SC31 Pro kit back to around $40.49 delivered.

  • Eatoff on 20/07/2021 - 17:38

    LT1 coming up as $97.99 now. Looks like the coupon is only $25 now. Picked up a SC31 though, my first nice flashlight

      $35 SFI7MG3U is still active. A $25 promo is applied by default. You'll need to enter the code during checkout and select standard free delivery if not a Prime member.

      • Eatoff on 21/07/2021 - 10:56

        You're right, thanks

        • AssociatedTim Mc @ sofirn-au on 21/07/2021 - 12:09

          No worries. It's confusing how some promo codes are already applied but the ones posted here aren't always automatically applied. And then Amazon automatically selects $5.99 shipping instead of free.
