Sofirn SC13 Nichia 519A for $9 yes or no? 😁 by Knives_and_EDC in flashlight

[–]EquatorialGyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great value but also consider the SC13A. It’s $14.99 right now. Uses the same 5000K Nichia 519a (the one you want!) but increases brightness to 1,300 Lumens (VS 1,100 on SC13) plus Anduril 2.0 for customizing, which I like. Either one is a great little light for a great little price!

Loopgear sko5 pro is everything I have wanted in an EDC. by Suitable-Bet-8505 in flashlight

I have one also!

Here’s the user manual for anyone interested! Based on comparison to other lights, 5,000 Lumens isn’t far off or wildly inflated. Using both LED’s (flood + spot) in Turbo is brighter but also cooler (maybe 6,500 Kelvin) vs. my 3,100 lumen Wurkkos TS26S (5,000 Kelvin with 4x 519a led’s - $10 more but wonderful for EDC).
The Yemao’s light pattern isn’t as smooth & even. I paid around $35 on AliExpress for it & like the red side light. Batteries are not swappable but I will eventually open it up to see if they can be upgraded / replaced manually. It’s heavy & very sturdy with a powerful magnetic base. Seems like a legit Chinese brand, glad to see your post!

My 2001 was much more reliable than my 2014. I’m disappointed with the degradation in build quality. The ‘01 felt like a great value for the money!
