I vastly prefer floody lights for "EDC" as they're just more useful.

Not sure where you're getting those specs, quite different on the Amazon site…either way , unable to replicate deal..asks to sign in and then sits there….
2000 Lumens
Max Throw 1089ft
I can replicate the deal but unsure if I need another flashlight
Maybe try the direct product page: https://a.co/d/8xveQo2
You need to have people and might need to put in promo code.
Comes out cheaper than that with shipping on manufacturer's page anyway. 28.98, with zero chance of a fake.

sc32 uses a TIR lens, and does not have a tight hotspot. It's not good if you want to see 300 feet away.
Edit: strangely, after going back to the cart, the code is now applied and subtotal is $28.19.

I've never heard of someone encountering a fake Sofirn. While I'd never buy lithium ion batteries on Amazon, I'm comfortable buying flashlights on Amazon.

Review: https://1lumen.com/review/sofirn-sc32/
Unfortunately, it is important to note that the Sofirn SC32 underperforms by about 25% all around. In reality, the visual difference between 1500 and 2000 lumens is hard to discern, but what's advertised and how it actually does are different things.
Turbo lasts just under a minute while high takes almost three and a half minutes to step down, but they both converge at the medium level, and all three modes stay there for almost 5 hours. Really, aside from the short burst at the beginning, this is a ~300 lumen light. It would've been nice to see it sustain high for a bit longer than that.
Another thing that's a bit annoying is the jump between moonlight and low. The difference between low, medium, high, and turbo is ok, but not having anything between 1 and 90 (advertised) lumens is jarring. If you think accidentally activating a 10-lumen low mode when you're expecting moonlight is bad, hitting low on the SC32 will leave you blinking for a minute afterward. It's no better with the smooth ramping mode either, since it's very hard to get into a level below the stepped low level.
Please be warned Sofrin are notorious shills. They shill every social media post and will try to recruit you for positive reviews. They will offer to buy the flashlight for you. Typically wanting to see your review then refunding money for the flashlight. I have so many of their flashlights laying around for them offering me a flashlight. I just link them to my old review and they just keep mailing me new ones. Weird champs. But it's bright as hell over here.

Wurkkos FC11 - a general-use light for $33. USB-C charging, and it now has proper C-to-C support. There's a strong magnet in the tailcap, and a pocket clip for carry. A 25mm (1 inch) diameter and 120mm (4.7 inches) long is suitable for larger pants pockets. I think most people will like 4000K or 5000K, which look like afternoon and midday sunlight, respectively. 2700K is available for those who miss the look of incandescents. 18650 battery.
Skilhunt M150 with high-CRI Nichia 519A LED option - a smaller everyday carry light with many characteristics similar to the FC11, but a smaller (14500 size) battery and magnetic charging connector. This light can also use AA batteries, both rechargeable and disposable, but the built-in charger only works with a 14500. 21mm (0.82") at its widest point and 84mm (3.3") long. $40
Skilhunt M200 v3 with high-CRI Nichia 519A LED option - a larger everyday carry light with USB-magnetic charging that could be described as a bigger M150 or a nicer FC11. Compared to the FC11, it's smaller and lighter, maintains higher brightness over time, charges faster, and has more pleasant tint. Unlike older versions of this light, the pocket clip is excellent. $64
Acebeam EC35 II, Killzone special edition with SST-20. I swear I'm not trying to favor Killzone here, but this one is a dealer exclusive. The T-word is overused in marketing, but many would describe this as a handheld tactical light or duty light. This is a great option for situations where the user might need light quickly in a stressful situation because the tailswitch is high-only with other functions on the sideswitch. If you think you want a single-mode light, you probably want this instead. USB-C charging (A-to-C again), and it's a USB powerbank (C-to-C works for this). $77 with bundled 18650 battery, $67 if you bring your own battery.
Skilhunt H04 RC with high-CRI Nichia 519A - a headlamp, right-angle handheld, and magnetic work light all in one. This version has a beaded optic with a somewhat diffused beam, but there's also a reflector version with a little more focus. This version has USB-magnetic charging, but it's available without for a lower price. $64 with the optional bundled 18650 battery and coupon code "reddit".
Sofirn SP36 (Anduril/LH351D version) - a large high-output light with three 18650 batteries and a $67 price tag. It has USB-C charging, a USB powerbank function, and a more complex user interface, but basic operation is similar to most of the others in this section. If you need to light up a room for a long time, or light up a field, this is up to the task. I think most people will like 4000K or 5000K, which look like afternoon and midday sunlight, respectively. 2700K is sometimes available for those who miss the look of incandescents.
Thrunite Catapult Pro - a long-range light able to provide fairly good visibility at 500m and detect large objects at twice that. This one doesn't have good color quality of the other options in this section. 26650 battery included, and USB-C charging. Usually $80.
Briefly, here are some characteristics that are usually considered desirable. Most of the recommended lights won't have all of them, but these are things to look for when shopping for lights:
