sofirnFlashlight High Lumens, 8000 Lumens Super Bright SP36 Pro Powerful Light USB C Rechargeable with 4*LED 5000K, Anduril 2.0 Programmable UI and Charging Cable（SP36Pro 5000k）

As advertised. It was a gift to someone else who is an engineer & pilot. Upon opening the box he turned it on while looking at it...big mistake...he said ..."the back of his skull was burned" it was so bright.It is a quality built light that works right out the box just do not look at the light.It has no lanyard hole you will need some way to carry it. It is about the width of a soda can so pocket carry will require a big pocket.Still ....for those time when yo need to carry the sun in your pocket this is the light.

I’ve accidentally left it on top of my truck and seen it flying off on the road twice. Both time Ive gone back and picked it up with no issue except some scratches. This is a very bright light that I use in attics just about everyday.

Blindingly bright, can actually set things on fire. Wish it had a lockout switch to prevent Accidental turn on. Also discovered during an emergency that it can work as a battery when fully charged to charge other devices.

I like this flashlight. It is a serious, functional, and well-designed light. It has only two minor "cons" which I'll get to below. On the "pro" side, it is probably the best small flashlight I've ever owned. It is well programmed. It is easy to turn on and get to the precise brightness I want -- from battery-saving dim to movie set bright -- without getting tangled in blinking and flashing modes. I can't prove the numbers, but I would guess the manufacture's claims of brightness are valid. It can be *VERY* bright. It has strobe and blink modes, but they are programmed separately so they don't get in the way. I won't go into all the "accessory modes" (blinking, flashing, whatever) since I don't use most of them, but I'll admit some are rather creative. For example, there is a patterned flashing mode like a bicycle light to carry when you are walking next to an unlit road at night. And there is a slow-flash "beacon" mode that could be useful to someone stranded on the water or in the wilds at night. There is even a mode that blinks-out the battery voltage so you know when to recharge. Depending on how much brightness you use, a charge on the three Lithium batteries can last for a very long time.The aspect ratio of the body of this light is different from most flashlights -- it is short and fat. It fits well in my hand -- and I'm not a big person -- with the single control button comfortably under my thumb. The button action is crisp and well-defined. The reflector does not have variable focus, but with the brightness this light has, I don't consider that to be a problem.Which brings me to the two "cons": first, and most important for the way I often use this light, there is no place to attach a wrist lanyard. Without a lanyard, I fear dropping the thing overboard. I have temporarily rigged something with zip-ties and some cord, but it's a kludge. When I have time, I will try to do better with some macrame wrapped tightly around the body of the light. But I shouldn't have to do those things for a light of this quality and price. There should be a solid way to attach a wrist lanyard. The second thing that bothers me is the little rubber plug that covers the charging port. My experience is that these plugs, which occur on many devices, don't hold up well. They soon fatigue and break off. When that happens the device is no longer waterproof. So I guess I just have to be careful with it.And one other note: This light can be used to light an indoor space, like a room. It stands easily on its back-end pointing up and reflecting off the ceiling for nice indirect lighting. The manufacture recommends using a diffuser to scatter the light around the room, and apparently they sell one for the purpose. Amazon doesn't sell them and I haven't gone searching elsewhere for one, but I have made a perfectly good diffuser from a piece of baker's parchment (I might also try tracing paper) rolled into a long cone and placed on top of the upward-pointing light. It works.

Worked great for a short time and then stopped. I have many flashlights and I did like it but it didn’t last long before failing.

This flashlight is amazing. I never knew a flashlight could have a complicated and robust UI that is customizable. The Sofrin SP36 Pro has a full featured, custom UI with the latest updates. It is incredibly robust and can be downright complicated to get used to. This flashlight is for the true flashlighltophile! With so many options in the Anduril 2 UI, it will be hard to get bored with this flashlight. Fully programmable including a "simple" mode for novices or casual flashlight users. The pricepoint for this light is insanely low. It's cheaper than most of the other brands less powerful and feature full lights. Now, the caveat.... there is no lanyard, no lanyard hole or mounting system and this flashlight is a handful of high quality material. It isn't the lightest light either so a lanyard is not only wanted but absolutely NEEDED! If Sofrin doesn't add a lanyard to future renditions of this light, it will be a huge missed opportunity. We shall see! This is a quality torch with too many features to list here. Spend a little more than you would for a generic, cheap light and you will have yourself a very useful, high quality torch for many years to come!

Hold the in off button to adjust brightness and when you turn it off it’s at that level when you turn it back on. Simple to use and extremely bright. Can imagine what a brighter light would be like because this one has blown me away. If there were a con, it would be no wrist strap or place to ad one. Other than that, it’s more than adequate.

I must say this: for years I had TrueNite, 1150 lumens model that finally quite (after 8+ years - the On/Off button stopped working consistently). This unit DELIVERS!! My only complain is it has to many options, and UI is bit overwhelming, at least at first with gazillion options, clicks and holds. But... I'm biker, along my other lights this one is to serve as a 'high beam'.. a m a z y i n g power!! I am using like 3-4 bacon/strobe option for day run, and as mentioned high beam, and TURBO HIGH BEAN when running night so when nothing coming my way I turn it on to beware of animals along the road. .. so you don't need to learn every combination.. Also it offers lots of fun stuff like candle light and thunder lights effect (gimmick to me, but :) ). Good solid flash light! Strongly recommend! I purchased it with 4 years coverage from Asurion as light is not cheap, but not super pricey either.
