The Sofirn SC13 w 519a is a handly little High CRI 18350 light with built in charging and a tailmagnet.
I received this light as a review sample. Here is a Sofirn SC13 purchase link and a discount code for 30% off: SC13BLF
this is the new 519a model:
this is the previous model w SST-40:
The Fresnel lens produces a large bright hotspot with a small and dimmer outer spill.
I like the form factor of the body waistline, makes it easy to hold in cigar grip.
The bezel is press fit, and very difficult (for me), to remove without cosmetic damage. So imo, DeDoming is not an option.
The UI is a simple 3 mode (hold from On advances the outputs) with last mode memory (for these 3 main modes only).
There is also a 1 lumen moonlight, which is reached with Hold from Off.
Plus a shortcut to Turbo by 2 clics that works from either Off or On.
From Turbo, another 2 clics gives Strobe.
There is electronic lockout at 3 clics from off. Or the light can be locked by unscrewing the tailcap slightly.
The switch button has a battery charge indicator light that shows green (over 70%), red (less than 70%), or blinking red (less than 30%). It displays for 5 seconds each time the light is turned on.
During charging, the switch button is Red, and turns Green when charging is complete.
This could be a good introductory level light for someone that is not ready for the complexity of Anduril.
The tailmagnet makes it useful for placing on metal surfaces, including the Top of a Refrigerator as an emergency light.
