  • Here is the Sofirn IF30 flashlight kit. This is sporting twelve 3535 LEDs for flood and one Luminus SFT40 LED for throw. You have the best of both worlds with this light. Easy UI. Very nice build quality and feels rugged as well. Runs on a large 32650 cell. You can recharge this light quickly if a QC or PD Type C charger is used. I like the dial switch on this as well. 12,000 lumens are a large amount of light, but you can dial it in just right. This light is not too big and can easily be carried. See link and code below:

    I have the datasheet for that 32650 cell and it has maximum discharge rating of 6.5A. The IF30 pulls 37A on turbo and is damaging the cell, confirmed by myself and another reviewer. I use a Molicel P42A with two orings around each end to center the cell on the springs. With the P42A the turbo holds at max output, while the 32650 drops off really fast if you check the lux.
    Using the bundled 32650 cell is a bit scary IMO, since you never know the long term risks by pushing a cell well and truly over its safety limit.

    • @CharlesBridgTec
      @CharlesBridgTec  7 місяців тому +1

      Well, the documentation Sofirn provided says it stronger than 6.5A for I see LifePO4 cells at that rate and this does not match weight of any I see on the market. Do you have these white papers or a link on this battery? Thanks for watching!

      @@spr00sem00se Well I seen the white papers and it's not a good thing to run more than 3k lumens with that cell. I contacted Sofirn for an easy fix to this by getting a 21700 cell adapter for customers to be able to buy or they provide free. I will use the cell provided but not on the higher light outputs.

    Nice review as always Charles. I bought it based on your demonstration. Thank you. This torch quickly became a favorite. I only wish it had a pocket/belt clip. I don't see why they couldn't have added one. Now I'm forced to use somewhat of a universal holster I have that fits this light. I'm not crazy about holsters but it works!

    Thanks for the review. I wish it wasn't a FET driver. Sofirn would have done better to put a buck driver, or at least a linear driver into the light. It would have been much more useful had it had one, the thermal throttling is harsh. The other problem is the cell, which just compounds the FET issue, as I don't think it can provide enough power to both channels on higher modes. They should have gone with the 3x18650/21700 solution.... It's a decent entry level budget Marauder Mini with incredible potential, but they left so much on the floor with the really bad driver + battery combo.

    • @CharlesBridgTec
      @CharlesBridgTec  7 місяців тому +2

      Well if power was there, it would have been more lumens but keeping it budget friendly and performance is one of their goals. Thanks for watching!

    Hello Charles, would you recommend a good high CRI flashlight that I can use for video shoots?. I was hoping for a fairly long runtime of at least 1,500 - 2000 lumens. Thank you for your reviews and your time.

    • @mr.frandy7692

      I was also thinking of emitter swapping my MF01X to 4500K Nichia leds. But that's a lot of LEDs to swap. Not sure if that's even possible. Or maybe it would be sufficient if I just swapped 50% of them. I'm trying to get skin tones to look good. and without enough red/orange in the light source, people tend to look pretty washed out on camera.
