SofirnSC31 Pro USB Rechargeable LED Torch with 2000 Lumen, SST40 LED Super Bright Flashlight, Anduril UI & IPX8 Waterproof with 18650 Battery for Hiking Camping Outdoors and Emergency

This is bright, robust, easy to carry... and a lot of fun really.It's 2,000 lumens are all there but you'll rarely need the full power (it'll get warm when you use it, so a couple of minutes at a time, but do set the temperature and have it step down at around 50deg C, you can do that from the switch too). You recharge the 18650 battery with the USB-C lead that plugs into the torch on the opposite side to the switch and is sealed by a rubber bung (it last well I have a Sofrin SC21 with the same plug), or you can charge if you have a battery charger and it takes any type of 18650 battery (easy to buy at your local vape store) and it lasts a looong time. The torch will warn you when it gets low as well.Good light throw, which is important for me but there's still plenty of light emitted around you (as opposed to more floody flashlights with a less defined central hotspot)But it's the superb Anduril operating system that makes this a very special flashlight for the money, currently. (For ordinary users who don't want to get bogged down with the brilliant software, click the switch six times in rapid succession to set it up and you have a simple flashlight which turns on and off. Easy for the young or old.)However, delve into Anduril and you can chose stepped ramping where the torch gets brighter in six stages, or smooth ramping. Easily selected with three quick clicks.And there's more... so much more. Fancy your torch stood on its end with flickering light like its a candle. You can have than. Or you can make it behave like it's a thunderstorm with random brightness and random speed to simulate lightning strikes during a storm. Now that is a lot of amusement surely. The SC31 Pro also does motion-freezing strobe light - it'll 'freeze' spinning fans and falling water or there's Tactical strobe 'a disorienting strobe light'. 'Can be used to irritate people' says the software developer - or it'll be a beacon if you're lost in the wilds. It does bicycle light too.The Anduril OS is simple once you've spend a few minutes reading the (well laid out) manual. Or you can find plenty online explaining it.The real benefit of this lamp is 1. Its power 2. You get a lot of OS for your money. I bought a Lumintop EDC18 just solely to experience the Anduril operating system - the button fell off within hours. I replaced it with the SC31 Pro and I'm genuinely not disappointed.And if you're not convinced, anyone who remembers making their Apple Mac their own in the mid 1990s will love this flashlight, with Anduril because it instills a little bit of personality: for example, the side switch lights up, but you can select how it lights up and when the torch is sat quietly by your bed or sleeping bag the off the button can be set to show a little flashing heartbeat, it's also sleeping but you'll find it easily in the dark. That is personality in an inanimate object. And you'll love it.Moonlight mode is also good with enough light to find your way about at night without waking anyone.I know it's just a flashlight but there's a huge enthusiast community for flashlights and this is one of the favourites (yes I know they get excited about CRI and LED colour but you don't need to worry about that if you don't want to) and everyone should own one of these. I have an Olight Mini Warrior - beautiful thing - but day to day, I prefer this, it's more powerful and it's a third the price (incidentally, they'll both set fire to paper in turbo mode, the Olight earned negative headlines for that last year, but both are easily locked off when you're not using it. Read the manual).In the future there'll be more flashlights with Anduril. There'll be more powerful flashlights like this in an easy to carry size (LEPs will replace LEDs I'm sure), but today I really believe for the money, this is almost unbeatable.If you haven't used a modern LED torch, then you're in for a pleasant surprise. And if you know modern torches, the SC31 Pro is pretty hard to beat.Looking back I'm coming over as a bit of a fan boy. It ain't perfect but niggles are minor. There's no magnet in the tailcap - all my other torches have it, it's useful for securing the torch while you work - and a diffuser would have been a nice addition to make the candlelight and lamp options better. But I've ordered both from China (that's how much I like this light).My advice, buy it, read the Anduril OS instructions... and have fun. There's room in everyone's life for more than one torch and this one is super capable but also has the power to bring out the kid in you.
