Thank you for this good comparison of the two lights. I personally like the beam of the 22A with the TIR lens. The rings and artifacts of the 22 version's reflector lens would be okay for some users, but I would find it distracting in a forest, meadow or shoreline use. Best wishes...
For the sake of a couple of seconds, this is cool, but it will not work for a bike or for a walk in the forest at night, it will quickly overheat and quickly degrade the diode
I got a EA01 too, blue, with sst40 6500K, great little light! But I kind of miss the spill of the reflector, cause I use it for camping and hikking, so I have other lights with reflector... One of then is a Sofirn C8G, with sst40 too, great throw and spill...
Thanks for the beam shots. I prefer the IF22A. Can’t wait to try it out. Just ordered it. Thanks again.
Never had sofirn before, this one is really nice looking and features, im consider to buy this for my first sofirn.
I've used the Sofirn SP40 headlamp for 18 months and it's been fantastic, very well made, I'm sure these are too.
SOFIRN are exceptional flashlights. Best value for money on the market today among all brands.
Very nice Barry, thanks for sharing

I think the best thing to do is buy both 😀👍
love the IF22A beam.. thanks
Incredible light for the low price
does the IF22A can light the ground where you are stepping if you point the flashlight forward while walking?
IF22A all the way
I would take a Flat White 1mm any time (I wonder if I can reflash the driver.. )
Love the spill from the tir lenses. Osram emitter? I only see them with sft now. Good video. ✌️
Great video well done
Excellent review !
IF22A beam is way nicer, spill is smooth. May I know the TIR lens is plastic or glass?
All TIR lenses are made of plastic, but you have the flat glass protector lens on top of that (well, not on all lights, for ex. the Olights.. )
Which one of those do you think is good for all around use? Thank you

22A for me too, but I've got the similar Astrolux EA01 with tir lens, so I don't need one. Thanks for the video.
