I've personally found Sofirn's customer service to be excellent, which is one of the main reasons I keep coming back! (My sofirn collection: SC18, IF22A, SP33S, SP36 & Q8 Pro!)

    Is there any good headlamp for night fishing?
    Sp40a is not enough I think…

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 17:54

      I can't comment with any authority, as I don't own it, and don't do night fishing. However I looked at a number of websites that review such headlamps for fishing, and the sofirn looks to be brighter, and cheaper than all of the "recommended options" I've looked at so far. Your call of course. I guess if you find it disappointing, there is always amazon returns.

      • choory on 21/04/2023 - 18:56

        Thanks @youknow!
        Ordered SP40A, I'm gonna try it.

    • pakkapie on 21/04/2023 - 18:44

      I've used it night fishing. It's pretty good on highest brightness, but chews the battery (I use this when my acebeam headlamp goes flat).

      For many years I used the Amazon/ebay chepo ($20 or less) 2x 18650 headlamps for night fishing, and they were pretty good, but brightness dropped off fast on those, plus I'm sure they lose brightness from the led over time.

    • dust on 21/04/2023 - 18:46

      Why is the SP40 not good enough? It's pretty bright on the brightest mode?

      As per youknow's comment…..
      Don't fish, but maybe look at the HS20 XHP50.2, currently 20% off at sorfrinlight.com (~$A46)

    • Showmethebargains on 21/04/2023 - 20:30

      I use the sp40a for night fishing. It does the job quite well.

      • frewer on 21/04/2023 - 20:37

        Just a question, why do you needs light to fish ? To lure it ? Can you just feel the string moves ?

        • Two50rr on 22/04/2023 - 07:45

          Not while actually fishing or for luring…….more for when you doing everything else eg….tie hook on line….looking for stuff in tackle box……seeing whatever you caught…..walking to the spot if on land

      They are great value for money and the quality is very good! I'd buy one if I didn't have one or two. Mind you, this is a floody beam, not a thrower

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 17:50

      It is a nice torch. It's not as insanely bright as the Q8 Pro/Plus, but it's very good for it's size/weight. Very comfortable size to hold and use.
      I think it's a tad to big for a pocket (maybe jacket would be fine), so it's more for a bag/backpack, or around the house/camp.

      • zealmax on 21/04/2023 - 20:29

        I have the SP36 BLF 4000K and SP36 Pro 6500K. Too my eyes the Pro looks more than twice as bright as the BLF. However I use the BLF more because of the nice colour rendering and tint. The SST40 emitters on the SP36 Pro has pretty bad tint. It's not white or blue. Bit of cyan tin. Functional but ugly.

    • entropysbane on 22/04/2023 - 09:25

      Speaking of stupidly overpowered, The Australian has a review today https://www.theaustralian.com.au/weekend-australian-magazine…

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 17:56

      I bought the Q8 Pro before the Q8 Plus came out. I do plan on getting the Q8 Plus at some stage, but I have not been able to justify it to myself as yet, given my already excessive collection!

      Go with the Sofirn BLF SP36. $55.99 is the historical low for that model and it's so f**king bright that if you stare directly into it at full power, it'll blind you to the regret you might otherwise feel for wasting your money.

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 20:45
      +1

      IF22A is a great thrower, but not on special/sale at the moment. None of the torches listed as part of this deal are throwers :(
      Beam distance is probably the best indicator, but only if sellers are being vaguely honest.
      As a general rule, the heads on throwers are significantly bigger than the torch body.

      • BadAtNames on 21/04/2023 - 23:34

  • donny donny on 21/04/2023 - 22:48

    Hey @youknow, what would you suggest for the brightest torch with flood and throw for around $150 after discount?

    Battery life/reliability is also important as im not keen to keep buying torch every 3-4 years..

    is it the Q8 plus?

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 22:59

      Hi @donny donny. I don't own the Q8 Plus, but from the sofirn range, it's the brightest and it's in that price range. It's a flood by nature, but it's so bright that it's beam distance is also excellent. I don't know how often and how intensely you'd use it but I suspect that you would get many years out of it. Perhaps batteries might need replacing every few years. Having said this, I can't comment in good faith though, I've only owned the Q8 Pro for about 6 months. I've used it a lot and dropped it twice. It's still functioning as good as the day I got it (as best I can tell!), but in another 3.5 years? I don't know. Sofirn seem to value their reputation and I'm sure if you had a problem, they would do their best to resolve it.

      • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 23:02

        Having said all of that. Perhaps for the same money (if you can wait for deals), you could get a Q8 Pro (flood) and an IF22A (thrower). Best of both worlds there ;)

        • donny donny on 21/04/2023 - 23:20

          Thank you! i will be using it while doing trail walking/light mountain trail walking. nothing too extreme and can wait for discount :)

          do you have any experience/thought on other brands like olight or convoy?

          • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 23:32
            +1

            @donny donny: I actually wonder if the SP36 would be better, the Q8 Pro and plus are very large and heavy torches. I'm not sure I'd want to be wielding a Q8 for for many hours on end. I can post a size comparison tomorrow if you like.
            I have a couple of olight, but they are babies (keychain style), but they are also very good. I think they make great torches, but I do find them way too expensive. I also have quite a few older Nitecore torches (5+ years old). They used to be my go-to brand. I don't have any convoys.

          • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 23:38
            +2

            @donny donny: Here's a side by side comparison.
            Q8 in the middle, SP36 to it's right, and the SP33S to the right of that.
            I got the SP33S from OS, and it's my favorite "every day" torch. The SP36 and Q8 are getting too big to pocket, unless it's a holster or jacket. I think I would get tired carrying the Q8 for hours though.
            (FYI. not my photo, just one I found on the web)

            • donny donny on 22/04/2023 - 19:55

              @youknow: Thank you, very helpful indeed!

              i'll be waiting for the next deal either Q8 or the SP36 in this case :)

  • Iwantthebestprice on 21/04/2023 - 23:19

    Bought one of these last deals and they are a good torch!

  • OzHan on 21/04/2023 - 23:38

    Which one is good for bikes? Not overly bright.

    • youknow on 21/04/2023 - 23:50

      Of the ones in this deal, I personally would have said the SC18. However the coupons seem to have expired for that torch now.
      The SC21 would be ok, but I think it's really designed to be an easily pocketable torch. To achieve the form factor, your sacrifice battery life (and brightness). I think for riding, I'd rather have longer battery life and a torch that was a couple of cm longer.

      • OzHan on 22/04/2023 - 00:03

        Yeah longer battery life is def more important than form factor for riding. would you recommend one of these + bike mount over a dedicated clam-on bike LED?

        • youknow on 22/04/2023 - 00:45
          +1

          I can't honestly say without seeing the dedicated bike light to compare against. I guess it might depend on whether you planned on using it for anything other than riding. If the SC18 was still available at the discounted price, i would have said to get that. For the price, i don't think you're going to get anything else even remotely as capable.

          • OzHan on 22/04/2023 - 08:42

            @youknow: Thanks, Final question if you don't mind. Which one from the following Soffirn store (or any other not in the list ) would be best if I am looking for a bike light + general purpose torch? tbh I am at a loss for what to choose. would not mind buying from Aliexpress or wait for the next deal to come up.

    • youknow on 22/04/2023 - 00:07

      I got the SP33S from OS (I don't think it's available locally). I just really wanted that particular model based on it's size and very favourable reviews from enthusiasts. Not to trash talk the SP33v3, but the enthusiast reviews suggest the SP33S is much improved (it is almost twice the price though!).
      I don't know Temu. The SP31 comes up from time to time here for around $35-38 from Amazon AU. If you don't have an urgent need, and you think that's a good torch for you, I'd just wait for the next deal to come up.

    How does the SC21 pro compare to the Wuben C3, currently $32 with 20% off?

    https://www.amazon.com.au/WUBEN-Rechargeable-Flashlights-Wat…

    • youknow on 22/04/2023 - 00:20
      +1

      In terms of size, the SC18 is more directly comparable to the Wuben C3. The SC21 is much smaller, and therefore handicapped by it's battery. I don't own the Wuben C3, which is remarkable, because I do love a torch! I think some early reviews about them not cutting out when charging (ie. over charging battery) put me off a little. I should try one out. There are a few comparisons online if you google.
      The Wuben has a tail switch (and therefore not magnetic base). The SC18 looks to be brighter. Unfortunately the coupon seems to have run out for the SC18. I don't think the SC21 is really a directly comparable torch though.

    I purchased this one a little while ago which appears to be a Sofirn. I love it, has very low to very bright brighness settings, battery lasts ages and is pretty comfortable for long periods of time. I wear it for everything from jobs outside in the dark to building computers where I need focused light.

    I don't use my wuben C3 as much anymore since having the headtorch for hands free.

    Is the light positioning to the side better like on this deal better than having it directly in the centre of the band?

  • Lone star on 22/04/2023 - 19:54

    OP. With the SP40a, on Amazon under descriptions it's written this. What does it mean with a separate battery?

    [Versatile & Magnetic] : As a headlamp, it’s not only a powerful headlamp, but a mini headlamp powered by 1x battery(Need to Purchase Separately) with the spare short tube.

    • Igaf on 23/04/2023 - 12:20
      +1

      The SP40 kit comes with an extra (shorter) tube in case you want to use an 18350 (NOT supplied) battery.

      As supplied, the torch comes fitted with the longer barrel - for an 18650 battery (supplied). To fit the shorter barrel you simply unscrew the head and tail and screw them onto it.

      It's a good idea to use a thread lubricant, esp for bigger torches, lanterns, and especially waterproof torches. I use Lubri-Film Plus but there are many alternatives.

    In term of headlamp beam, I just done some YouTube. Found out Sofirn also has HS 40 (2000lm) and HS20 (2700lm).
