Great review! They added a magnetic tailcap and 3000k and 4000k tint options for the new batches so I had to order one in 4000k, seems like an absolute steal.
Dam if they added the tail cap i think at this price they made a hard to beat deal. il pin your comment so people know you can get the mag base now. Cheers for the info.
May I know is it 4000k is better than 5000k? I'm new to led flashlight.
@@najibnajiyama hi, the answer depends on a few things. First thing is, a 4000k tint is more warm looking than a 5000k but they are very close on the scale of yellow to white light.
Secondly it can be argued that the 4000k may be a tiny bit better at throwing light effectively, but again the two tints are so close I doubt that will matter. I hope this helps answer your question. If you have any more just ask I am happy to help. Have a great day.
Ok thanks. An online shop here sell 5000k flashlight cheaper than 3k and 4000k. Now I know why. Have a great day too!
@@najibnajiyama Happy to help. 😃👍
I've finally got mine 😁🍾👍👍👐 after being let down twice by dealers I'm pretty impressed I don't need a naval searchlight on my head, that's why I get pokey hand helds. all in all thumbs up
Excellent. For the price these rock. I hope you enjoy mate.
Thanks for the review. It helped a lot for making a choice ordering a headlamp. So I ordered my SP40 today.
Excellent. I still use mine and it's great. I have one on the car in case of emergency as well. Love this light and it's not a rip off either. I hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think of it when your have a go of it. Have a great day and thanks.
Great job, as always. I think your drawings are excellent, I will always check out your reviews before I purchase a Light. Thank you. Sincerely your friend from MO Rick and God bless you and your family
Excellent thank you im so happy to hear this. I will keep making honest and informative reviews as long as people find them useful and enjoyable to watch.
Great review my friend, comparing all your various headlamps.Like yourself, the Skillhunt H03 is still my favorite headlamp.I do like the wide field of view on the SP40. Does it come in any other tints? Your ending beam shots were spot on, great editing technique with each headlamp inside it's own box and the Sofirn SP40 highlighted in the center of the frame! Good to see Claire helping in your video, will she get to keep the SP40? LOL Keep up the great work Richy!
Just heard they now do many tints not just 1 so this is a cheap but very effective headlamp. lol Claire used it for a midnight walk, i like to see what others think of lights as i sometimes overthink it all and need a non flashaholic view of the lights im testing. It took a while to edit i do my best to show a comparison for the viewers.
Hay sir,verry good review,very good flashlight,one of my favorite
Thank you for taking the time to say you liked the review, yes this light is a very good price and works very well.
Great review my friend, I just ordered one for my wife but I'll end up playing with it .lol.
He he he that's the best sort of present. Buy the wife something you want to have a go of. Enjoy mate
I am fairly new to different flashlights, but at that price, for a headlamp of this quality - it is really great.
Longevity unexplored, yet.
Got one with magnetic base and ~4k coloror, 3000mah battery.
May have to order a few more, for the car, fishing and nightwalking, spare extras or giveways!
I agree with you. When I saw the price I was expecting something bad but I was wrong. Excellent for the price and it beats lights much more expensive.
@@TrailTrek I also bought the Sofirn SP 33 - new version with Cree XHP50.2 led.
5000mah battery.
Impressive !
Price/performance is great.
That sounds pretty nice. Very good led but a bargain price and it will destroy most lights you see in the local store for that price.
Thank you for explaining orange peel vs clear lens. Solidified my decision to buy this light. If you have an Amazon affiliate link, I'll use it.
Fantastic im glad to have helped. I did use to have AF for amazon but they cancelled me saying im not popular enough lol So buy wherever is cheapest fort you mate ;-) IF you have this light now what do you think. i have 2 of them i like them so much! Excellent for price.
@@TrailTrek I got the light yesterday. It's really good. Used it to work on the car tonight. I got the SC31 Pro first, and liked it so much I decided to get this one for automotive work and for the bonus short tube. Really satisfied with my purchases. Sofirn seems to be putting out some proper products.
Excellent, before I tried this I saw that price and expected something pretty poor but they won me over. I have 2 of them now and this is one of the lights I recommend as a headlamp. No fuss and works great.
Although I've never had an issue with water getting in the usb ports, it wouldn't be my first choice to go swimming with. I'm always cautious with them.
Yeah I'm not a fan of these flaps. I have had a few walks where I got soaked and a light in my pocket ended up with a bit of water in that area. But I quickly shook it out and there was no issues. I wouldn't wear one in heavy rain or rule caving etc. I'd insist on ipx8.
Thank u 4 this video.
You are very welcome. I am happy you find the video useful.
24:20 For me it's almost a feature, because lets me know that the water sealing has been compromised.
Ok mate 😎
On the body of the light sofirn don't have number seri. How warranty?
yeah i expect they just work with the receipt so if you have proof of purchase its ok. Sofrin have always been good with me, but im in the uk where we have laws to force companies to replace goods if they are not working or suitable for their intended purpose.
@@TrailTrek thanks u. I bought it last month. It works very well. 4000k Beamshot so beautiful
Excellent. This is one of my most favourite headlamps and a very good price. I just recommended it to a friend recently and he bought one and loves it also. You don't always have to pay hundreds of dollars for an olight to get a very good light.
Hi, Does it work with flat-top battery?
Hello there, yes this works with a flat to battery. I tested it with a button to to see if it had a better lockout using a button top. But both worked for me using a Samsung 30q flat and then button top. Hope this helps.
@@TrailTrek Hi, It is a great news, I am waiting to the delivery of SP40. Many thanks for quick answer.
How long does the 1200 lumen lasts b4 it step down?
On mine I get about 1min 50 seconds then it drops right down to about half of the 1200 on turbo. Hope this helps. 👍😎
Was impressed with the reveiw, especially for the price, so I've just done and ordered one. Sorry if I missed it, but does it come with a battery? Or is that being aittle ambitious for price? And last question lol anyone recomend a good rechargeable 18350 and 18650? Appreciate reveiw 👍
Yes for this price I was very happy with the light. Sorry this won't come with a cell but you can pick them up easy enough online. I would personally recommend the Samsung 30q. If you have any more questions I'm more than happy to help. I just want you to enjoy your new light. Have a great day 🤝😎
Thank you for reply, and thanks for your posts and reviews, have enjoyed and found very informative for the novice like me 👍. Would you be able to recomend a good 18350 bat too? Also any budget friendly recommendations for equivalent olight S1R or S2R batton? Or are they worth the extra. Be used for kayaking, fishing camping etc. And would you have any recommendations for a small, powerful , waterproof focus able/adjustable beam? Many thanks, and keep up the good work 👍👏🤝
Hi mate for the 18350 I tend to stick to either ampsplus or keeppower. If I was you and going kayaking I would pay the extra for the olight. The reason I say this is because they then have a long warranty, guarantee ipx8 water proofing and the way they charge. The mag charging would be perfect if you carry a battery pack with you on the trip. I hope this helps mate 👍😎. If you were not near the water you could grab a cheap light like the 'on the road' stuff. But for your application I would get the olight mate.
@@TrailTrek hey big TT, thank you for info and advice, very appreciated 👍. If not too fed up with my questions, lol, what would be your recommendation or advice for a edc, small, small ish long throw torch if money no object and for up to 50squids? Again thanks again for great reviews and advice. Interesting and informative 👏👌✌
Ok let me think. Small, with long throw. Does it have to be a dedicated thrower? The reason I ask is that the lumintop GT mini is a hell of a thrower yet small and it's right on the price range you asked for 45 to 50 quid. I would check my review though it may be too much of a dedicated thrower. You could go for one of the olight thin throwers but they won't go far and cost more unless you get the mega expensive ones. Have a look at the GT mini and tell me if that's what you are after, if not I can have a rethink I want you to get a light you truly love.

has strobe mode?
Hi, there is no strobe mode on this light. The U.I. is very simple. No strobe/beacon etc.
Ok
watching this relaxing and informative review twice now as I wait for my SP40 out for delivery ! Thanks, this helped me choose between the sp40 and nitecore HC65v2, as my needs for the headlamp or not as intensive as what the nitrcore can provide.
You are completely right. The nitecore is great but the SP40 at the price it is, is incredible value. I have used the SP40 as one of my recommendations when people ask what to buy and every single person has come back and said they love it. So im very confident you will like the flashlight. I have 2 of the SP40 lights, one in my car and one in my bag. You picked a really good one.
Best video, thank u bro =)
Thanks man, glad you liked it. I keep honest and helpful. Have a great day 😁👍
