Rechargeable Flashlight, Sofirn SC32 HCRI Small EDC Flash Light 1300 Lumens 90 High CRI, Pocket LED Light for Everyday Carry, with Tail Switch, for Camping, Emergencies, Outdoors

This thing is so much smaller than I thought, it's barely bigger than an 18650 itself. Must be one of the smallest 18650 lights out there.This review is for the high CRI Nichia 519a led model not** the original with sst40. Nichia 519a never disappoints, great 5000k pure white, no blue or green tint at all, it's my favorite emitter for edc.Tail switch is the same sofirn/wurkkos one that's on the ts10 and sc33, which is to say it's great! Read reviews that the UI was weird on this light but it's not at all. The only "quirk" is when you're in turbo a single click takes you back to mode memory and not off like most lights but that's it (unless you double clicked from off, then 1 click does turn it off). Not a big deal at all. Like most sofirn lights, this will not remember turbo in stepped mode, but it will remember it in smooth ramping. Also not a big deal as you can always get to moonlight, user select, or turbo right from off. If they had included Andruil 2 this light would have been perfect, but the UI is very similar to simple Andruil mode. This is a great light due to the great tail e-switch, amazing 519a emitter, and tiny size and light weight. The Fresnel lens is also unique and works very well and is the only light I have with that. Beam is definitely floody, so a dedicated tactical light this is not, but it is a great edc light!!! I'm very happy with it for sure. If you like this one, check out the wurkkos ts10, or noctigon d4k next.

This would be the perfect EDC light if the tailswitch wasn't so easy to activate accidentally. I carry my lights in my back pocket and my first few outings with this light had my butt unexpectedly warm due to it turning on in my pocket. To remedy this, I 3D printed a ring that goes around the button to recess it a bit, and that works most of the time. The last time it went off accidentally was sitting in the backseat of a car and shuffling around trying to find the seatbelt buckle.This is my first light with an E-switch as opposed to a forward clicky mechanical tailswitch, and I think having instant access to moonlight mode is an excellent feature for EDC while still retaining the direct access to turbo; although not having momentary on is a bit of a change for me, it isn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be.The Nichia 519a is also easy to dedome and I think it works great on this light. It makes the white warmer and gives it a bit more throw, which I prefer. Even without dedoming the color accuracy is phenomenal and works great on night hikes.The reversible pocket clip works well for clipping to a hat for a makeshift headlamp, and the lighter weight of the light lends itself well to this usage, especially compared to a full-sized Streamlight that could also do this, but was too heavy to be comfortable.Overall, being one of the smaller 18650 lights available with high CRI, onboard charging, tailswitch, and at a decent price, I think this is a great choice for EDC.

I got this light as a gift for my mother in law. My goal was to get her something 1) USBc rechargeable 2) high capacity + standard battery (18650 in this case 3) good color rendering 4) small.She likes it, so that's as good a recommendation as I can give. She easily understood how to use it, no accidental strobing.Easy interface:Hold button from off for moonlightPress once for on to last modeHold to cycleDouble tap for turboTriple tab for strobe-double tap change strobeThe LED in this is genuinely amazing, nothing looks washed out! It does get hot on turbo but that's the price you pay, it can easily maintain 300+ lumen without getting too hot, which is more than enough for a walking-around light with the occasional output burst.Worth focusing on the size of this light, it's tiny! It's astounding it all fits in there. And it feels very lightweight. Not flimsy to me, just svelte.And it uses standard 18650 batteries, so in a few years when it dies it'll be an easy swap (like changing an oversized AA).Pictures are of box, turbo, and moonlight.

The light came in and the battery is dead, wont take a charge and to top it all of the unit feels like it may have been machined incorrectly. The instructions tell you to remove the tail and the head of the unit, but the tail is LOCKED on there.Maybe I got a defective one, maybe youtube hype is BS.
