Sofirn SR15 Rechargeable Flashlight High Lumen, 4500 Lumen Super Bright Pocket Flashlight with Magnetic Base & IP68 Waterproof, Long Beam Distance EDC Flashlight for Emergency, Repair, Camping, Hiking

After owning several lights from Sofirn and knowing the build quality plus top notch user interface, this was an easy gamble to take on purchasing this light. I also own many lights in this form and size, so it intrigued me so I had to to pick this light up to compare and see how it stacks up to the competition. I want to address the size first. This by no means can be considered a compact light, nor should it. this light is a mid-size light that packs a punch of a much larger light, while being able to comfortably fit in a hoodie pocket, day pack, or even light enough to carry with your wrist hanging by a lanyard. Lights with similar outputs are 3 times the size of this light and weigh so much they cannot be easily transported or stored, that is why this light is so valuable. It fits in the hand like a glove and it is very light for all the power it emits. Now to address the User Interface and the output. Some lights have very confusing and not straight forward directions on how to use it, no this light, It is about as simple as they come. Hold for ultra low, double click for turbo, hidden strobe. Can't get much easier than that. This opens up the light for a wide variety of people, both young and old. The output is amazing, and with this light coming with a super efficient driver, the power is more sustainable and helps the battery have a longer life for less time waiting on a battery to charge. the beam itself is very uniform and wide, while also providing great distance for you to see up close or 2 football fields away. Another amazing and very important feature to this light is it has onboard charging so the user doesn't get bogged dowm with having to carry a charger everywhere they go and being able to charge where ever there is a usb-c around. the feature that brings this light into its own realm and above the rest is the power-bank feature, are you in a pinch and need a quick charge for you phone or other devices... problem solved. This light comes with a pocket clip, lanyard, 21700 lithium battery, and a complete instruction guide. Sofirn also had a very good customer service so you can shop with confidence. This light is worth every penny.

I purchased the Sofirn SR15 last month as I have been wanting to acquire more 21700 flashlights compared to my 18650 light collection. This flashlight features a quad LED setup with and a reflector design optimized to throw light up to 510 meters. As with the other Sofirn lights, this comes with a USB-C charging cable, lanyard, and instruction manual. Build quality on this flashlight is typical Sofirn, which is excellent. The design is utilitarian, which might not suit everyone's taste, but I think it looks great. This is a large flashlight as most 21700 lights are, and probably won't be the first choice for EDC. However, it does feature a sturdy clip, which works well when carrying it on your belt. The SR15 has an easy to use interface, and brightness can be set with either stepless ramping or stepped options. Double pressing the power button allows you to quickly access turbo mode. The flashlight has memory, and will turn back on to the last brightness setting used. This is a bright flashlight! At 4500 lumens in turbo mode, the SR15 will be useful to keep around the house or car for emergencies or to use for outdoor adventures. This flashlight will run for a long time in moonlight mode. The SR15 charges quickly with the supplied USB-C cable, and it can also be used as a powerbank. Flashlights that double as powerbanks make them even more useful during emergency situations. Pros: 4500 lumens Easy to use 21700 battery, excellent battery life Cons: Large!

For the size of this light, it throws a very impressive and bright beam. I love a good flashlight and have grown my collection to roughly 15 lights now. This SR15 is only slightly bigger than your typical 18650 lights that would classify as an EDC (everyday carry) but it's output dwarfs that of all my EDCs which typically max out at 2000 lumens. Check out my size comparison photo showing 4 Sofirn lights. The SR20 mini uses a 18350 battery. The SC31T uses an 18650. The SR15 in this review uses a 21700 battery and the big SP60 uses two 21700 cells. To show the 4 different brightness modes, please see my attached video showing both the brightness and throw of the light. Overall, I like this light a lot and I'll be leaving it in my vehicle to use for emergencies. The strobe functions are very bright and if I'm ever stranded on the side of the road at night, this light can be used as a beacon to warn other drivers due to the light spread of the 4 LED drivers. What do I like about this light? -Relatively compact size for the amount of light it outputs (max 4500 lumens) -Buck drivers mean it steps the voltage down to a constant 3V which translates to more uniform light output as the battery drains as opposed to lights with non-buck drivers where you can see the light getting dimmer as battery level goes down from ~4.2V to 3.0V -Very good light spread when using light up close -Sofirn now includes a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, no more of the USB-A to USB-C cables of past lights. My house have switched over to mainly USB-C chargers so this is a welcomed change and gives us another cable for backup -The UI is easy to use and if you've used other Sofirn lights in the past, the functions are all the same. Hold from off to get to moonlight. Single click for on/off. Hold when on to change brightness modes. Double click while on to get to turbo. Triple click to enter strobe modes and once there you can double click to switch between different strobe modes. -The magnetic tailcap is very nice to have especially if you're working around cars. Often I stick my Sofirn lights with magnetic tailcaps on my hood when working on my car. -The light doubles as a powerbank to charge your USB-C devices if you're in a pinch. Have tested and it charges my iPhone 15.

Amazing

Possibly used package, the light has been on a still Red light while charging for more than 5 hours. Nicron 1.2k lum is approx only half brighter meaning this sofirn is = 2k lum
