Sofirn SP10 pro torch review

 

 The Sofirn SP10 pro is another little gem of a torch.  Ideal for an everyday carry.

 The torch is smallish, at about 85mm or 3.5 inch long, and around 20mm .75 inch thick, while it will go on a keyring like the Lumintop tool AA I reviewed recently it's a bit bigger than something like the olight I3eos, or the Thrunite TI3, mind this is a LOT more light for not a lot more size.

 Like the Lumintop this torch will use AA or 14500 batteries (hence the output)

 Light levels AA 1lm 60 hours, 10lm 9hours, 30lm 13 hours 12minutes, 130lm 1 hour 48 minutes, 350lm 1 hour 9 minutes.

 For a 14500 battery. 1lm122 hours, 10lm 26 hours, 70lm 9 hours 45 minutes, 280lm 2 hours 22 minutes, 900lm 1 hour 55 minutes.

900lm, thats a huge amount of  light for something this size.  The torch has a choice of ramping or stepped light levels, and runs Andural 2 software, this means it's essentially programable (although a tad complicated to do) you can change brightness levels in the stepped mode, alter the strobe options, even ajust step down temp, although I suggest thats best left at factory settings.

The torch will tail stand and does have an electronic lock out function, a good thing with 900lm on tap if you dont want a melted pocket.  A big plus is it runs off normal 14500 or AA batteries so any off the shelf ones will do, and odly it comes with a proper charger that will charge 18650 as well, I'm guessing it's a standard charger, handy though.

 Heres a picture with a AA battery for scale.  When I get time I'll do a comparrison with the Lumintop tool as they are near as makes no difference the same size and use the same batteries.
