Sofirn SP35 Keeps Steady High Output for Hours, Says Customer

I am ashamed to say that I have become a complete flashlight geek! I have about 30 of them now and am beginning to really be able to differentiate between the special and not so special. I have definitely been a big fan (and purchaser) of Sofirn lights because you get SOOO much quality for a very reasonable price. But in all honesty.....THIS SP35 stands above the crowd! My lumen reading setup reads considerably higher than the 2000 stated max lumens. With a Sofirn 21700 - 5000mAh battery that came in it, it kicks out 3000 for about 2:40 seconds! That is quite a while to stay on Turbo. Then.....the good part! It stays on HIGH at about 1300 lumens for over 2 hours! This is due in part to the fact that it has a buck driver instead of a linear driver. This keeps the output steady. For hiking and bicycle riding - (which is how I use my FLs) This is KEY! I just want to hike or ride without worrying about step down and changing batteries. tI has the 6500K Luminus SST40 LEDs so it is as white light bright as it gets. Watch the video to see the beam shots that I took in the graveyard! I It is rechargeable via USB-C charging and takes roughly 3 hours to charge up a 21700 battery. It also has a voltage readout that lets you know how you battery is holding up. Solid Green is 100% to 50%. Solid Red is 49% to 25% and blinking red light in the button that it is below 25%. The construction is first rate and it just feels solid in your hand. It is a great size to have along as an EDC light and it has a super strong steel double sided clip for attaching to anything. It is equipped with an attack bezel and STROBE light so could be used as a defense flashlight. The User Interface is super intuitive. 5 Levels plus Turbo (2 quick clicks) and Strobe (3 quick clicks) (2 more gets you to SOS and then 2 more goes to a steady turbo blink.) The only little thing that I noticed is that Sofirn claims 1089 feet (332 meters) of throw. My test didn't come close to that. I would say 500 max. If you were pointing at a reflective surface, like a STOP sign. for instance, it might be feasible but not an opaque object. In conclusion....If you want a basic, no-frills, affordable, durable BRIGHT and long running flashlight for whatever you do. This would be an awesome choice! I bought this flashlight and have not been compensated in any way by Sofirn.
