Sofirn IF25A torch review

I'm not really sure where to start with this torch review. The Sofirn IF25A is a pocket sized power house. It has a range of 1 to 3800 lm, which is tons of light. It has just about every mode you can think of. Beacon, sunset, candle, bike, lightning, party strobe, tactical strobe. You can have stepless or stepped dimming levels, it's got thermal configuration (you set the stepdown temp) it's got temp and battery check levels, lockout, and even a muggle mode so you can lend it to someone in just basic torch mode without the bells and whistles. It's maxium range is listed as 420 meters, it's drop tested to one meter and waterproof to IPX8 (2 meters undr water). It runs off a 21700 battery but can use the more common 18650 with the sleeve supplied. So whats it like to use.... well it's got a LOAD of light in full power, turbo is mental, and the lowest 1lm moonlight is ok for checking your watch or a quick look at a map. The lightning mode is quite effective bounced off the celing, and bike would be ideal if your a cyclist, although theres no bike mount supplied. Candle looks clever but is let down but the very white colour, tactical strobe is a waste, while it works well and you can ajust the flash speed theres no easy way to engage it, it takes two quick clicks and a long hold of the single button to fire up strobe. Thats the real weakness of this torch. One button to do so much means the interface is complicated to say the least. That said full power on a single click (easily set) is more than enough to fry your attackers eyes in the dark, this thing will light up a football field on full power, god help if your 6 foor away when you get torchy blinded.... (sorry couldn't help myself) It's also a very fair price for a lot of torch, around the £45 at Christmas 2020, and it's rechargable. I can't find the battery life times but your looking at a couple of hours at full power and a days on the lower power setting, remember you honestly dont need the full power to walk around, even the lowest setting above moonlight is plenty to see where your going (stepped mode).
