Few dollars cheaper direct on Sofirn site, 10% off coupon at the top of the page, plus other deals if you can handle slower shipping.
I love the Sofirn SP36 I got from last deal.

2 things to note:
The 6500k color temperature is the brightest, but also a very blue-tinted light. Personally I prefer 4000k or so for a warmer yellow light that hurts my eyes less at night. Unfortunately only the 6500k version is on sale here, so it's not for me.

The temperature sensor on mine needed to be calibrated because it would constantly think the light was overheating and step it down. There's guides online to calibrate it and it's not so hard, just uncomfortable for someone newer to flashlights.

Only buy the Anduril versions of the lights, it's an open source firmware for flashlights and the UI is incredible.
Yes it charge off usb c both ends and usb a to c.

If you buy make sure you also order the defuser for like 2 or 3 bucks... turns the lite into a lantern

How rugged would you say this is? I need something like this that is able to handle drops here and there. Used for working on cars etc.

My opinion on the SP36: It's really fat! You also have to take care to charge the batteries together, probably inside the light, so you have balanced cells.

I like the SP36 BLF Anduril version better than this SP36 Pro. The BLF version has better tints and CRI, but has lower max brightness. Buy this SP36 Pro if you really want the brightest.

For reference, I brought the SP36 BLF version in Aug 2020 for $40

I have the original BLF/Thorfire version of this light which used the NarsilM firmware. It is an awesome light and one of the brightest one that I own. I used to review lights for both Thorfire and Sofirn years ago (before I got bored of the hobby). Sofirn basically clones almost everything that Thorfire makes or vice versa. I can still heavily endorse this light though for someone looking for raw power in this form factor. I also really like the ability to gradually change the brightness (assuming that the latest firmware still does this).

I like to bring it out every year for Halloween. When me and my kids get stuck in a big crowd, I will suddenly crank it up to full power (pointing down at the ground) and it's so bright everyone looks around in shock, squints and moves out of the way. Back when I first got the light, not that many people had Li-ion flashlights.

This is something about the Color Temps...

Kind of a harsh blueish white.

Hi all,

Does anyone know what the runtimes are at each setting? I can't seem to find it anywhere online.

Thanks!

$42.99 on Sofirn site on slow boat from China but that price is also for the 5000K and 6500K

The UBK82QA7 has been applied

Good Review:
https://1lumen.com/review/sofirn-sp36-pro/

My favorite part:
"Sofirn only advertises a single Lumen figure, and I can only assume it's for Turbo. I didn't get anywhere near their 8000 Lumen figure (off almost 2300 Lumens), but I know the SST40 is capable of more since the harder you drive it, the better, especially in multi emitter setups. I grabbed 3 married (fully charged) Sony VTC6 and tested the light on Turbo again. The result? How's 7100 Lumens sound? You could postulate the SP36 Pro is capable of 8000 Lumens, but you need some high-end batteries to do it (and maybe some unicorn pee or pixie dust)."

I see option of 6500k or 5000k tint option below product description. Do you get different color LED or only tint at lens to change the color?

The SC31 pro is probably their most recommended light. I recently bought my first and absolutely love it. I ended up buying a few for family also. If you want to make it shorter you can buy the short tube and different battery for a few bucks to have more versatility.
