In this video, I review the Sofirn SC32 flashlight. Sofirn has released a number of these smaller 18650 cell flashlights recently, which are almost as small as some 14500 lights. The first thing that comes to mind for me is temperature control! I think it's great to have extra battery capacity but are these lights able to perform? Watch my video to find out.

Sofirn SC32: Video Transcript

General thoughts after a week of usage/size comparison/practicality:
• This is a great little EDC flashlight and the smallest 18650 light I own. Very bright for its size and the Fresnel lens is just as effective as a TIR for projecting the beam into the distance. The SC32 is almost the same size as the battery! I like the tail switch design.
Overall Construction, LED, lens, bezel, and reflector
• Rugged and solid looking. Great quality for the price. The bezel has some interesting cutouts that allow you to see when the light is on. Basic Sofirn anodizing.
• SST40 with fresnel lens. Quite a unique feature and good to see Sofirn try something new. The lens is very thin which keeps the length down. No protective glass.
• Double-sided clip, onboard USB C charging, included 18650 cell.
UI - modes
• Modes demo, strobe, step ramp vs smooth
Performance - total output, beam profile, longevity, practicality
• Ceiling bounce test, CRI, CCT, candela
• I was surprised at the throw of this light. The spill blends nicely into the large hotspot. The outer edges of the light have some artifacts.
Considerations
• Ramps down quickly and produces significantly fewer lumens. It's a small host and unavoidable.
• No momentary turbo mode - that would bring it into tactical territory.
Verdict
If you're looking for a great value EDC flashlight that has everything included, this might be the one for you.
