    They just released an IF24 Pro, too. SFT40 (more throw than the SST40 in the original) main emitter with a Buck driver.

      Is that the IF24S?

      No sir, it's the IF24 Pro. It's not quite as bright as the other models at 1800 lumens, but has a greater throw, and the main light has a buck driver.

      I have the 23 and the 24Pro. The 23 sucks on every Disziplin.... its only the first 30 Seconds brighter, than it steps down massively. The 24 has the better throw from the first Second. The if23 has too much Spill. You blind yourself and dont see anything far away. The bigger Batterie is no advance. The 24Pro makes is as long with the smaller Batterie, with the better Output.

    I just ordered the IF23 two days ago I should be getting it soon 😁😁

      Good deal. It’s a handle all around light. Great as a magnetic area light. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the excellent comparison, PPH! The more I look at them the more I prefer the IF23. Larger battery, larger output, powerbank mode, smooth ramping, shorter body and all the same features except for the 'waterfall' and 'droplet' modes which are nice but not that necessary. The newer IF24 Pro got me thinking for a second but even that does not seem to be on par with the IF23 in my eyes. Again, thnaks for sharing man. 🤜🤛

      Thank you and thanks for the feedback. I agree. I’d like to see the IF23 updated with all the RGB LED features the new IF24 has. I could have done a better job of illustrating the mode changes in the IF23 video I did (making it look less complicated) Thanks for watching! 👍

    • @Zsolto66

    • @haraldscholz9123
      @haraldscholz9123 Месяц назад +1

      The 23 has no advance from the larger Batterie. The 24pro makes it as long with the same and better regulated Output. The 23 is only the first seconds brighter then it steps down massively. Buy both, check it out, than send one back. It will be the 24, you will own.

    I’m gonna stick with the 23 I would rather have an emergency phone charger than some extra disco lights

  • @muhammadshahyan8552
    @muhammadshahyan8552 3 месяца назад

    Does it have ramp up and down? Like those side LED automatic cycling wish they made a 18640 version of it for edc.

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  3 месяца назад

      Yes, the flashlight does ramp up and down the brightness if you hold the center switch down. Thanks for watching!

  • @Crepes1626
    @Crepes1626 Месяц назад

    Can both lights be on at the same time like the IF23? Thank you

    • @haraldscholz9123
      @haraldscholz9123 Месяц назад

      No

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  Месяц назад

      No they can't be on at the same time, that is one draw back. I really like the IF23 - I'd like to see the RGB LED of the IF23 be updated with the RGB of the IF24. Thanks for watching!

  • @serendipity-108
    @serendipity-108 5 месяцев назад +1

    If I’m reading specs correctly the IF23 has a higher output turbo (4000 lumen) - is this true?

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  5 месяцев назад

      Yes and I should have underscored that in the video. The IF24 has a more focused beam though. I think that’s because it has a TIR lens. Thanks for watching!

    • @haraldscholz9123
      @haraldscholz9123 Месяц назад

      The higher output is only for the first 30 Seconds, then will the if23 massiv stepdown, the 24 is in this Disziplin the better choice. The same Problem you found by the side Light. The if23 goes 2-3times per Minute up and down.

      Soits really solid feeling very heavy. I like the switch reasonably intuitive. Used it on a plumbing job today and found its weakness. The magnet could be way stronger I think because of how heavy it is its not corner bead or plumbers strap self holding worthy. With a coupon a solid buy for sure 👍

  • @kengeroo

    new if24 is half the lumens of the if23 ? (2000 vs 4000)

    • @projectpinehills
      @projectpinehills  5 месяцев назад

      That’s right, half the lumens on the highest setting.

    • @ste-c1218
      @ste-c1218 5 месяцев назад +2

      23 is way better I agree

    • @haraldscholz9123
      @haraldscholz9123 Месяц назад

      Only for the first 30 seconds. Then it steps down massively. And: the 23 has never 4000, it will be at 3000. The If25a is much brighter with its 3800lm.after 30 seconds the 24 is brighter than the 23. And its better regulated.

    I thought for sure when the 14500 batteries got popular and the 21700s got big we’d get rid of the 18650🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. No need to have something in the middle when u have the other 2. Not sure why they are still making 18650 lights🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤨

    The color LED mode is a waste. Why would I want a purple or RGB color changing mode like a gaming mouse?

  • @Siresly
    @Siresly 4 месяца назад +1

    Looks like a simultaneous upgrade and downgrade.
    The UI and side panel seem like pure upgrades.
    Less so the case with the weaker and cooler light with less flood, the shorter runtimes, no powerbank, worse clip, lower IP rating.

      The switch of my 23 lasted 10 months, then it passed away. The 24 switch is magnetic. It will last perhaps 1 Million years? 😂
