What owners report
Sofirn IF25A
- ✓High-CRI quad output that owners describe as excellent colour rendering
- ✓Full Anduril, with the versatility that brings, at a budget price
- ✓Very compact and light for the output it produces
- ✓USB-C charging in-body with a 21700 included
- ✓Good enough as a host that modders buy it deliberately
- ✗Steps down to around 750 lumens quickly — lower sustained output than rivals
- ✗The driver is widely described as the weak point of the design
- ✗The 18650 adapter sleeve is loose and rattles unless padded
- ✗Gets hot fast on turbo, though thermal regulation handles it
- ✗Anduril's advanced menus are a lot if this is your first enthusiast light
Wurkkos TS25
- ✓Four Nichia 519A emitters — beautiful tint and genuinely high CRI
- ✓TIR optic gives a concentrated but versatile beam
- ✓Anduril 2, aux LEDs, quick-charge USB-C and 21700 support
- ✓Distinctive slender-waist body, and a switch that's easy to find by feel
- ✓Build quality is very good, with no defects reported in 6061 aluminium
- ✗Output collapses from ~3,870 lumens to about 130 within a minute
- ✗Sustained output under 300 lumens — poor against peers
- ✗Thermal calibration is inaccurate out of the box
- ✗Fixing it requires mastering Anduril's advanced configuration
- ✗The headline lumen figure is essentially meaningless in use
