Sofirn SP32A V2.0 18650 Flashlight High Lumens with Rechargeable Battery and Charger, CREE XPL2 LED 1300 Lumen, Super Bright EDC Pocket Light

I bought one of these 4 months ago, and have used it frequently since, and I am very impressed. The light isn't actually 1200 lumens, but it's still very bright, about the same brightness as my one of my car's low-beam headlights. The battery life is good, and using it in the rain has not affected the performance of the flashlight. I've dropped the light multiple times from varying heights of about 2-10 feet, and the flashlight has held up very well, despite for a few scratches(which would be expected of course). I bought another one for my father as a gift, and he loves it. He uses his much more than I do, and he has had nothing but good things to say about it. The varying brightness settings and strobe mode work as expected. The rechargeable battery is useful, and has not failed me yet. I would recommend this flashlight to anybody who needs a compact light.

I was looking for an inexpensive light around $30 for my EDC. I own several lights from different brands and I must say this is the one I carry the most. I wanted something that I can just toss around that is reliable and durable enough and won’t break the bank and I have found it in Sofirn SP32A V2.0. I love it so much, I just bought another one in Pale Gold also from Amazon. It has 6 modes and they’re great, love the bright 1300 lumens Turbo. The switch is easy enough to get through different modes, it has a battery level indicator to let you know how much charge is left. The light has good knurling with stiff pocket clip. I’ve always wanted an 18650 form factor light and this even came a little shorter which I like than some of my 18650 lights. I don’t even notice that it’s there in my pocket. The beam is great with a good amount of focus, flood and spill. It’s not a long thrower, but just enough for any types of activities. I highly recommend this light if you’re looking for a good quality, durable, reliable and budget friendly from a reputable company. I’m their customer for life. Thanks Sofirn for making good products.

This is a fantastic little flashlight!Pros: Very portable, 5 different light settings, rechargeable battery, pocket clip.Cons: No lock-out for the switch.This flashlight is great because it's small enough to fit in a pocket, but powerful enough to absolutely fill a room with light. The lowest setting is useful for up-close tasks or to preserve your night sight, and the strobe setting could potentially be a lifesaver.There are only two reasons I don't carry this flashlight with me every day. The first is while it's small enough to fit in a hip pocket, it is a little "bulgier" than I care for, so I usually want to carry it in a jacket or a cargo pocket, but I don't always have those. The second reason is that there is no lockout mode on the switch, so occasionally I'll lean on something, hit the switch in my pocket and not notice it's on for hours, draining the battery.The battery that comes with it is rechargeable, so that's not too much of a problem, but the only way to make sure it doesn't turn on in a pocket is to partially unscrew the but cap, but that requires two hands to screw back down the next time you need to use it, and I'm often holding a tool or part in one hand already when I need the light, so a one-handed option would be more convenient.All in all, I think this flashlight is still a bargain and I would definitely recommend it.

This has been a great all around flashlight. Very bright with a clean hotspot. Battery that comes with it is good and charges well. Though I haven't been using the charger that came with it, it is good though that it comes with a charger because if someone is does not already use lithium 18650 batteries they would have to order one separately. Power indicator on the button is a nice touch. What really works well for me is the stepless dimming mode. Very smooth one button operation. Which, also makes it a great flashlight to lone out to non-flashlight people who may not like all the various modes some come with. All in all it's easy to use, bright, durable, and light weight. I would be comfortable using it as a primary light or bringing it as a backup on a trip for someone who forgot to bring one.

The flashlight I've compared it to in the pictures is an Outlite A100. That's my girlfriend's light, I needed my own for bike rides home. I was considering buying that because it's a great light for the price. I decided to try the Sofirn after some research particularly about CREE LEDs. And I wanted an 18650 battery so we could share the same charger.The Sofirn light is brighter, particularly on Turbo, and is much smaller too. The light is focused, where the Outlite is evenly distributed. That's both good and bad, depending on what you need it for. On a ride home having the extra light on the sides is great for visibility and seeing far down the road isn't too important. So really, the Outlite would have worked just fine for me.The one thing I noticed is that the LED gets pretty warm on this light. That was never an issue with the Outlite A100. That might also indicate it's using a lot more power to run on Turbo mode (I haven't compared battery, that's not a big concern for me).

I bought this to stick in my backpack side pocket as an EDC. It's not bad, but I probably wouldn't spend the money again. Pros: Fairly Bright, rechargeable battery, good size. Cons: Power button location, no beam focus. Granted, I knew the cons going in, however both of them really ended up bothering me. The beam focus just limits the application, in my case. The power button location for me REALLY sucks. Whether I had this clipped in my pocket, or it is in my backpacks side pocket, the switch would frequently get triggered accidentally. Of course when it is in my backpack, I wouldn't catch it and I would go in to grab it when I need it and no more battery. I have several other flashlights with the power button on the back, and that is the design that works best for me apparently. So overall, meh.
