Review: Sofirn SP10 Pro - a high-CRI AA/14500 light running Anduril 2
The Sofirn SP10 Pro is the only flashlight running Anduril 2 and supporting both AA and 14500 batteries. It offers high CRI and a low price. I've reviewed it here:
$16 flashlights make flat runtime graphs now. I am impressed.
This is a Convoy S21E with Nichia 719A in 3000K. It's not setting any brightness records at ~850lm, but that's top-tier regulation. It's CRI is in the 90s, and it's kind of throwy too.
Arbitrary List of Popular Lights - Fall Equinox 2023 Edition
In honor of Fall Equinox, I've made an updated list of popular lights. Days are getting shorter and nights are getting longer - it might be time for a new flashlight.
Here's Nitecore's new bespoke round LED as found in the MH12 Pro. It looks a lot like a Yinding L50 20W, but not identical so my guess is Nitecore requested changes to something Yinding was working on.
Comparing the 3D beam shapes (and not a side projection on a wall) of the 1 LED + SMO Nitecore MT21C vs the 3 LED + TIR optics of Wurkkos TS10s (4000 K and 3000 K). Using soapy water in a white tub. @flashlight#flashlight
This is not my entire collection of flashlights, just the ones that made the short list for my upcoming trip to Colorado and Arizona, which will involve some time outdoors.
