What owners report
Sofirn SP10 Pro
- ✓Anduril 2 on an AA-format light, and the only one that also takes 14500
- ✓Exceptionally low moonlight mode — among the lowest available anywhere
- ✓High-CRI Samsung emitter at a sunlight-like 5000K
- ✓Takes any button-top AA or 14500, including longer protected cells
- ✓Regular price just over $20
- ✗The emitter tends toward a green tint
- ✗Efficiency is unimpressive on high, though good in the medium modes
- ✗Output isn't perfectly regulated on 14500
- ✗The pocket clip needs more ramp to slide onto a pocket easily
- ✗Anduril on a light this simple is more interface than some owners want
