Sofirn just put the SC13 on sale and I ordered one. My current pocket lights aren't usb-c rechargeable, so this is a pretty good upgrade. I've got a drawer full of sofirn lights and they're all incredible value.

Zeroair and candlepowerforums both have solid, detailed reviews of the light:

I bought two to get free shipping. They automatically added almost one dollar for some kind of shipping guarantee, which you can click off.

Thanks!
A slick deal is worth the wait.

Once I proceeded to the last checkout page by Paypal,
it added $4 shipping fee to the total (2* items).
How can I avoid this shipping fee?

Some websites will cancel your order if you uncheck/remove the shipping insurance. Have you gotten an order confirmation?

They need to make one with multiple buttons I don't like the interfaces on these. Press twice three times press and hold etc.. Why does anyone need 6 different brightness levels. Give me 2. Moonlight, normal. If I need turbo that could be boost. That's it.

Got this a couple of weeks ago and finally got the IF24 Pro straight from Sofirn. Waiting a couple of weeks was driving me nuts since I'm used to two day shipping at Amazon.

Did the price go up to 15 each now instead of the 13 listed prices ?

Coupon code JSKELTON does not work. In addition, price in cart is higher than on the website. Tried two different browsers.

What is Anduril?

I don't have it, and I will probably want it.
It's a very powerful UI (User Interface) for flashlights. Once you learn it, you can operate any other flashlight with it without having to learn a new interface. Many vendors support it and Sofirn supports it for most of their lights, but not this one.

Here is a good review of Anduril (but there are many others):

I got one with a battery but got another unit with the short body 18350 option without it - what's a good source for the batteries of a decent capacity? Looking on Aliexpress I see either 900mAh but if it's 1400 or 1600 it jumps to about $7 a piece and also estimated shipping time is end of July.

Hello. In the manual for the SC13 flashlight, it says
High Runtime 1h 30min @ 500lm
Turbo Runtime: 2min+1h 20 min @ 1300-500lm

Is the runtime on turbo just a few minutes? or 1 hour 20 min? 10 min difference between high and turbo seems a little off with the difference in lumens, but the 2min+1h 20 min is throwing me off.

Thanks!

Two minutes on turbo, then thermal steps to high. Pretty standard with any light that labels the brightest setting as 'Turbo'.

This is one of the common gripes i see to those new in flashlights... the marketing games are probably going to lead to a lawsuit eventually, but in the mean time the times are total runtimes but variable lumen outputs.

It's a marketing gimmick that I think everyone has to do just because everyone else does it.

Look at the numbers but at the end of the day if you buy a good brand and a good battery you're going to be roughly in the same ballpark at given outputs so what you really need to focus in on are the features and color/ quality of the light. A lot of people prefer warmer tones at the expense of raw lumens.

I bought a 6k sofirn light and will never do that again. When you get that 4k to 5k color many folks just don't like to compromise on that anymore. It's just that big of a difference.
