Just received my SP31 today. I'm liking the shape a LOT

I've been wanting a dual switch light like Fenix PD35 ever since I saw one in Mount Xplorer.

With the SP31 although the side switch isn't very tactile and can misclick at times, I'm really liking the light so far.
Bought the light along with battery and charger since I'm out of battery and I needed a portable charger so this is great.

Though the Zanflare F1 could save me less in space and convenience but oh well SP31 is my to go now

really? they changed?

I claimed my fenix product from them tho
but that was long ago

I can only find the AAA ones. Most of my AAA lights are all with laddas
You think they still have AA size?

4 pcs Panasonic NCR18650B shouldn't break your bank and it should provide adequate power for it.

To play safe you can go cheaper with 4 pcs LG HE4 and they pack a punch for its price still. Though the capacity isn't too impressive in my case.

There is no need to buy protected as they restrict the amp flowing through but I'd go for it due to safety

bro pls buy this and let me try man

or this one omg

you go tankap polis with this la

KL I'm not sure but if PJ then there's Radiant Den

Tons of selection there and with that budget easily can get 1000 lumens. Just need to know what you're gonna use the light for.
I would recommend Thrunite TN12 bundled along with Nitecore F2 charger and a pair of Panasonic NCR18650B batteries
Or if you don't mind learning you can buy Manker MC11 which comes with a battery that has a charger.


Online has more selections for a cheaper price but its easier to just buy there without waiting

Convoy s2+ never failed me.

I used to work for sound and light and my convoy s2+ fell from KLCC ballroom ceiling height (12m i think?) and hit the carpeted floor.
and only a minor dent but still working like a charm... until I lost it somewhere in KLCC

Now I have more convoy products

Gearbest no longer ship to malaysia? I can still buy it though

well that's TINI
I thought it was somewhat nitecore tube size

yup. my batts came from gearbest recently though.

Lotsa glow tape buddy

hahaha same here m8

My TIR installed lights all had glow material so it glows when I shut the light off

don't think anyone's going to sell such exquisite light here in Malaysia.
I hope you can find a hobbyist locally to help you import one.

meanwhile you can order one here
Just one of the sites I trust but it takes a while to ship to Malaysia

Can't go wrong with Lumintop Tool AAA.
And since inspection needed both free hands you can even buy the magnet tailcap for handsfree stick on lights. (provided your field isn't magnetic sensitive)

I like the Tool AAA but I'm leaning towards the bigger AA version though.

If I'm not wrong it'll start with medium>low>high which I find very useful interface for quick inspection.

It's a single AAA light though. Not a penlight as you requested but if needed RookieDaddy's suggestion of Lumintop IYP365 works

you okay with ordering online?

-Convoy S2+ XP-L HI with Biscotti Firmware (preferred)
-Sofirn SP31 or SP32

Maybe your fenix failed from just loose connections? Tried tightening the brass rings yet? Maybe that will revive your light.

woah king light.

how are you brave enough to put li-ion in car. Isn't it a little too spicy hot for it?

btw hows the light?

I'm doing that with my LED modded maglite.

No harm other than the random alkaline battery leak. Just do weekly checks if can.

If you are using commom AA batteries you can invest on Energizer Ultimate Lithium. Theyre not as dangerous like rechargeables and can withstand car heat.

Convoy
Sofirn

I'm not too familiar with deals for these. Rarely lurk around BLF nowadays.

But if you want better lights that are similar to these you can consider Jaxman Hi CRI lights (for better color)
Jaxman E2L with Nichia 219C

My sofirn sp31 arrived with charger n batteries when i ordered it in mid 2017

Its a hit or miss thing when its batteries. 2/10 of my lazada battery orders didn't arrive. 7/13 of my batteries from aliexpress arrived which is very odd.
None of them got custom tax though.

But most of my rejected orders do get refunded so I'm cool with it. Give it a try. Sofirn shipping is quite fast but china is kinda on holiday right now so your orders may get pushed back

Should be the same led and reflector I guess.
Well to me it's like many other tube lights so the performance is close.
Its a mix of floody convoy s2+ with the throw of convoy s2
I'm getting good illumination across a football field from goal post to another.(It's about 120m distance away) Visible colors and detail without target being a silhouette.

I'm not sure how your LED tint will be but if they're the same it's Daylight color of about 5000K
Call it slightly yellowish white. I would rate it a 2B to 3A tint if you know how Cree color chart is. The color isn't very good in my unit compared to photography class Nichia LEDs but at least it won't make skin color looked zombie dead.

I can say my SP31 is my favorite work light as I use it almost everyday be it under stage or some dark ballrooms. They're great light for technicians like me and easy to use.
Yours may be different user interface but if we're comparing just the beam pattern it is a very safe all rounder beam. Definitely not for boat fishing light imo. It doesn't do pencil beam throw light but more of a widespread illumination

7k is damn blue man. don't even bother lol. You won't even feel comfortable using it

I can recommend Liitokala Lii-S1. Basic and simple single cell charger. But stock is good enough. I'm using it all the time even when my Fenix ARE-C2 charger is right beside me
Although stock charger can be super slow to fully charge, I doubt you'll drain it almost everyday. Just go find a good usb charger (like ivon charger from mr diy) that can deliver 1A enough d
