@@projectpinehills 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.
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. 🤜🤛 Zs
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! 👍
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.
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!
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!
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 👍
I’ve been looking for a light like this to attach to my backpack strap, and this is the first time I’ve heard of this brand. Thanks for reviewing it! 👍
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🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤨
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.

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?
@@projectpinehillsseems to not have made it to Amazon yet. Available on Sofirn's website

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 this is what I was looking for.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching! Ok 👍

I’m gonna stick with the 23 I would rather have an emergency phone charger than some extra disco lights
Yeah that’s a bit benefit. Thanks for watching!
I agree matey 23 wins overtime
@ste-c1218 I agree, it would be nice if the 23 auto changed color LEDs. Thanks for watching!
I just ordered a 23 👍👍
putty knife to hold both side by side with the magnetic end....genius bro, great video!
Thanks for watching!
Does it have ramp up and down? Like those side LED automatic cycling wish they made a 18640 version of it for edc.
Yes, the flashlight does ramp up and down the brightness if you hold the center switch down. Thanks for watching!
Can both lights be on at the same time like the IF23? Thank you
No
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!
Very good updates I never got the original because the UI was a mess
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to see this new UI helped. Thanks for watching!
Niceee, the best comparison video so far
Thanks and thanks for watching!
If I’m reading specs correctly the IF23 has a higher output turbo (4000 lumen) - is this true?
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!

Looks good enough to try I'll let you know tommrow when it comes in 👍
Good deal. Sofirn is interested in your feedback. Thanks for watching!
Are you "one of us!" Or did the company message you lol (robot voice)

Thanks, it’s a great light at a good price. Thanks for watching!
No candle light simulation mode?
Yeah, great question. Thanks for watching!
Need 21700 version for IF24!
I can see that. Thanks for watching! 👍
new if24 is half the lumens of the if23 ? (2000 vs 4000)
That’s right, half the lumens on the highest setting.
23 is way better I agree
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.

Battery size Drives the flashlight size. Thanks for watching!
Get the IF24 Pro, even better. 😉
I’m getting it! Thanks for watching!
The color LED mode is a waste. Why would I want a purple or RGB color changing mode like a gaming mouse?
I think it was just easy to add and something fun for the kids.
Because they look cool? 🤷♂️
Who cares what you want?
For photographers, it's worth it
It’s also nice for mood while camping in tent or outside at night. I love it and dig the innovation.
No Knight Rider Mode? Why?
Good question, no idea…
Looks like a simultaneous upgrade and downgrade.

I’d like to see the IIF23 with the updated RGB. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
sofirn makes some great lights at budget prices 👍🏻
Definitely a good value! Thanks for watching! 👍
That rotating switch looks like an obvious weak point. I wonder how long that will last for.
I like the original UI. Thanks for watching!
The switch of my 23 lasted 10 months, then it passed away. The 24 switch is magnetic. It will last perhaps 1 Million years? 😂
