Turbo lasts just under a minute while high takes almost three and a half minutes to step down, but they both converge at the medium level, and all three modes stay there for almost 5 hours. Really, aside from the short burst at the beginning, this is a ~300 lumen light. It would’ve been nice to see it sustain high for a bit longer than that.

Durable and Reliable: Constructed with high-quality materials, the SC32 HCRI is built to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting durability. It is also IPX8 waterproof rated, providing reliability in outdoor and wet conditions. Specifications:High reliability: Rated at IPX8 water resistance, the EDC light is able to withstand extreme weather conditions. Our handheld flashlight is made of solid aluminum alloy; with such a solid body, this portable flashlight is impact resistant and will survive a direct 3-foot drop.

I think this alignment of the switch LEDs is pretty normal… if you’re expecting them to be on… some… other axis, then this might not be the light for you. Long-lasting Battery: With its efficient design and utilization of a single 21700 battery, the SC33 can provide extended runtime. Experience up to 11.5 hours of continuous use on the low mode, allowing you to rely on this flashlight for prolonged outdoor adventures or emergencies. Measurement disclaimer: Testing flashlights is my hobby. I use hobbyist-level equipment for testing, including some I made myself. Try not to get buried in the details of manufacturer specifications versus measurements recorded here; A certain amount of difference (say, 10 or 15%) is perfectly reasonable. What’s Included Powerful Performance: The Sofirn SC33 is equipped with a boost driver, delivering impressive performance and maximizing the output of its high-quality LED. Experience enhanced brightness and performance. Maybe mine’s 6500K, but I have to say it’s still a clean beam and doesn’t feel so much like 6500K. Warmer than 6500K. (The tests below support that, too!)This light definitely needs thermal recalibration. I set the room temperature to [accurate] – 22°C. Then I set the temperature limit to around 55°C. That means there’s a broad range of operating temperatures for the light to work – from room temp 22°C, all the way to 55°C. Sofirn has released the SC32, a mini tactical flashlight. This light uses a Luminus SST-40 at 6000K and has USB-C charging! Read on! Enhanced Color Rendering: The Sofirn SC32 HCRI flashlight is equipped with a high-quality Nichia LED featuring a high color rendering index (CRI) to provide accurate and vibrant color representation, making it ideal for tasks that require precise color identification.

Okay, we all know Sofirn is an OEM factory making lights under their own brand, and making them for other companies (Wurkkos, and masquerading for Astrolux occasionally). Either way, they’re a popular brand. My first unmodified flashlight was a Sofirn SP10S I bought in early 2020, and this is a good illustration of how Sofirn has become firmly entrenched in the flashlight enthusiast’s repertoire. There is also a USB-A to USB-C charging cable included, which is a good one to use, as the charging port is recessed and in somewhat of a tight space. If the plastic head around the USB-C plug is too wide, it won’t fit.

Not sure whatever else you thought about those square anodized threads above, but the first thing I thought was “hey that’s like a new S2+ threading!” I have only one new S2+, and it’s a copper one. And yes it threads on perfectly. And also YES it works fully! Sort of a bonus is that you now also have a mechanical tailswitch! (You’ll ask so: No it doesn’t really work the other way. Yes, it connects electrically BUT notice that you’ve taken out all the switches. So no good way to modulate the modes.) Super Bright: This LED flashlight is equipped with the SST-40, easily lighting up the path in front of you with significantly improved throw: it delivers a maximum output of 2000lm at a distance of up to 214 meters.

Surprisingly, the bezel is not glued down. Not only that but the threads are lubed. Usually manufacturers don’t want you getting into the bezel, but on the SC32 it’s wide open, meaning emitter swaps will be a breeze. In my review copy of the Sofirn SP35 ATR flashlight is a Luminus SST-40 emitter, in 6500K. This emitter is surrounded by a smooth and quite deep reflector. These beamshots are always with the following settings: f8, ISO100, 0.3s shutter, and manual 5000K exposure. On the other side of the light, the head has some cooling fins cut into it, which are identical to those found on the Wurkkos TS10. That’s where the comparisons end, I promise. In another interesting move, the USB-C charging port is on what I consider to be the front of the light, above the make a model markings. The SC32 has a narrow rubber cover for the port, unlike other Sofirms which have a larger square cover. It fits fairly snugly, but is not too difficult to remove when you need to charge. Next to the charging port is a status light which stays on for 5 seconds when you first turn the light on, displaying in green when charge is good, solid red when it’s low, and flashing red when it’s critical. It also flashes red while charging.Sofirn has made quite a name for themselves, churning out affordable, highly functional flashlights for the masses, and they keep getting better. Sofirn keeps their finger on the pulse of the marketplace and knows what’s hot and what’s not, so if something isn’t stirring the Kool-Aid, they fix it. The SC31T is a perfect example of this. Tactical-style flashlights are hot items, and every big-name manufacturer makes one (or more). I’ve been able to test some of the best on the market, and have a good idea of what makes a tactical light, well, tactical. It’s not possible to measure amps on this light as it requires the body to be disconnected from the head to access the battery.
