Thats my EDC slash everyday use, delivered to me 09/24/22 and after almost everynight use and a few knee high drops (im 5'7), the tailswitch is a bit "wonky, maybe needs cleaning or replacement. The charging now is also tricky, i need to unscrew the batt from the FL then but it back to have a decent charge, longer charge from red to green coz if i dont, less than 2mins after plugging it, it will turn green vs removing and inserting battery for a few seconds which the charging will be "normal". Overall, good decent tactical FL and already eyeing another sofirn FL. Awesome.vid man! Mabuhay! -SoCal Pinoy tambay
Bough mine Sept.2022, always on me at night even just in the backyard and by the river and always my edc when going out, it has a few bumps like less than 1.5mtrs drop to floor tiles and ground. Now its a little bit jittery or flickery, dunno the right word but on turbo, it flkckers sometimes and not sure if it charges full, i guess blame it on the drops (less than 10x). And i need to tap it to get it back to turbo. Hopefully i can still depend on it
Excellent review! Great job of delivering tons of info in an interesting format. I've immediately subscribed! When safety is a concern, your detailed reviews are appreciated. 👍
Barbara, Thank you so much for the kind words! We love doing this and love it even more when we know that the reviews are well received. Keep on watching and we'll keep on reviewing! :)
i have bought 1 sir, nice light, very bright but can get very hot at the tip. battery are performed best and still trying to understand how the light cycle works
@@kazuya6852 Well, that answer depends on the individual user. There's no such thing as the absolute best single EDC light for everyone, even if you take away budget constraints. What battery configuration do you prefer? How much weight are you willing to put up with? Do you prefer sheer output over runtime, or vice versa. What modes do you want? And, in what order? Too many variables for each individual. The best EDC light for one person, is going to be the worst option for another.
Do any of the sofirn edc lights have white and red light? I looked in their website and I'm not finding any except on their headlamps. I'm a mariner and I need that red light option when out at sea
Offhand, the only ones I can think of are their lanterns. The LT1 is a fantastic option, but it sounds like you're looking for something more handheld or able to be clipped to a pocket. My suggestion would be to look at the Wurkkos (Sofirn is their ODM) HD15R. It is a right angle with two emitters, one of them being a red lens. wurkkos.com/products/wurkkos-hd15r-angle-flashlight-headlamp
@torchesandtactical. Hello, definitely I would buy the Sofirns SP35T.Higher lumens never means better throw or benefit if not executed properly.Of the two in this vid the Sofirns SP35T is the better all around EDC and duty use light and that's coming from an Army veteran and ex L.E.O and medical technician.The Sofirns SP35T is better designed and built for real world EDC and duty usage.All the best to you.
Tactical lights should have only tail butons! One hand operation is what tactical really means. Also this light doesn't have enough throw for a tactical light.
This one is unique because they blend the ability to do EDC functions as well as tactical functions. Depending on the mode (tactical) you're in, you can completely ignore the side switch. But, if you're n EDC mode, you can still scroll through other brightness settings with that side switch.
@@torchesandtacticalyou didnt complete the ui operation in tactical mode. U just clik clik clik the tail cap and its done. Did'nt even mention if u can use the side switch in tactical mode or not. And putting the UI on the last part of the video? Wadafak man. Dislike.
Really like my Sp35T. Had it for several months and no complaints.
It's a stout light. I really appreciate how Sofirn is able to pack so much into such an affordable light.

Very helpful video in my search for which light to order next!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. If you have any questions and I can help guide you in the right direction, let me know. 😊👍🏼
Does it have PWM?
I accidentally destroyed the 50.2 in mine so it has a sfq65 and it’s gonna stay in there. This is definitely a great flood light
Do you have photos of the comparison!? That would be awesome to see!
@@torchesandtactical ya it’s in the Beamshot portion of when I reviewed this light
i have bought 1 sir, nice light, very bright but can get very hot at the tip. battery are performed best and still trying to understand how the light cycle works
Sometimes when they add multiple things into their UI, it can take a bit. I still get confused switching between lights. LOL
Does this flashlight have stabilisation of brightness in modes (except turbo of course)???
Best one if you're on a tight budget.
It is a good light. Frankly, is almost hard to make a bad light nowadays. It seems to come down to preference or use.
What’s the best edc flashlight disregarding budget?

@@NGMonocrom I was just wondering the best sheer output for any sort of flashlight that would fit in your pocket, disregarding any other variable
@@kazuya6852
Sustained output, or 30 seconds max. before the light becomes too hot to touch? That will factor into which light is best.

@@torchesandtactical thank you, I'll take a look.
@@tvelocidad Awesome. Let me know how it works out. I have one and love it.
I have this light and I love it.
@@pizzadave9812 what color did you get?
Can the battery be changed with aftermarket?
Yes. Looks like standard.
This or sc33?
imo sc33 is mcuh brighter but 35T has better UI
Sc33 is better at output but i still prefer the UI of sp35t, same as my C8L

👍👍Perfect
It's always a pleasure working with you. Let's get in touch so we can get the people a review of that IF30!
@@torchesandtactical win-win🥰

What? This light has so much throw it’s ridiculous 😂😂
Not enough 😂 I measured an 800ft throw with mine. Absolutely brilliant little tac, heaps of bang for its very reasonable buck!
👍🍻
Thanks for the thumbs up! Just so you know, we don't discriminate. We'll take a 'Pinkys Up' as well. 😊
Wow, that's the most useless flashlight review I've seen in a long time.
Thank you for your comments. I hope you have a blessed day!
