Hej Todderbert thanks for the review the Sofirn SC18 flashlight looks very nice I own a couple Sofirn flashlights both more expensive and cheaper and I have not been disappointed with any of them I like the Sofirn brand. I also like small compact flashlights and like flashlights that have good spill or flood light yes Todderbert it's time for a new Sofirn flashlight a favorite compact flashlight I own is the Sofirn SC21 Mini Edc. But I gonna order this Sofirn SC18 a low cost flashlight from Sofirn that seems very nice take care Todderbert have a nice sunday.

Thank you very much for this review, it helped me decide to buy which budget friendly flashlight, with simple mechanics, no fancy law enforcement modes. Loved it.

[@matthoward1174]

Great deal ! This is great for clipping to the visor of the truck. Not expensive enough to miss,.. not too cheap to work when you need it.

[@NickelodeonTuber]

Grabbed one for $20.85! I can also use the included, long usb-c cable for my Motorola phone. This alone would cost me a few dollars. Thank you, ToddErbert.

Thank you for the great review. I bought one of these for my wife to use for her auto parts inspection job. She's been using junk $10 Amazon generic zoomies. She loves this little guy. I was so impressed I bought 4 more of them. I love the UI of them! AliExpress had them for $12, now they are up to $13 limit 3 per address from some kinda cuteliving or something like that store. Even includes a Sofirn 3000 mAh battery. I'll give a couple away to my brother in laws that basically live in the jungle in Philippines. With a good 3500 mAh battery and USB-C charging they will love them.

I got one from aliexpress yesterday...it was on sale for 12USD. Thanks for the review

[@denys_medvediev_188]

I'm all about the savings, and Monocashback just delivered for only $20. And with a 50% discount and an extra $1 in cashback, it's a no-brainer. I'm one happy shopper!

Chinese radio makers just cloned my favorite radio ever, The Sony ICF-F10! Yewrich radio released a clone with an added improvement. Instead of a cumbersome strap, it has an actual old school handle. Also, comes with the option of plugging in the unit 🔌 (with cord). I bought myself one at $18.99. But have you ever had any experience with Yewrich? I hope it’s a good clone. I hate crackle when I move volume button.

[@todderbert]

You may have a crackle/pop on strong MW stations. My clone does.

[@VladFredK]

it looks like you do know your flashlights so this should be easy question for you, Which flashlight with 18650 battery has illuminated switch button in off position like BLF Q8? And does any of them have illuminated switch button changing color when the battery is getting depleted in off position? It would be a great help. Thank you.

[@nitrorc4life1]

I'm glad they thinnned he walls of the tube,

[@paulb2769]

Good day ! I am trying to decide on my first 18650 light. Between the Sofirn SC18 and the Convoy S2 +. Or for a little more money the Sofirn SC32. Would like to know your thoughts and what your preference would be and why? Or any other suggestions on a great budget small 18650 light that would be pocketable. Thanks much Paul. 🔦

[@todderbert]

I would pick up the SC18. The Included Belt Clip, and On Board Charging are Excellent features to have on a Flashlight you intend to use every day. I have a Convoy S2+ and like it, but miss a charging jack. Plus I need to buy an add on belt clip for it if needed. The SC18 is shorter, and has better heat handling.

[@VladFredK]

this is a nice flashlight but I would like to have the battery indicator on when in off position to constantly show the state of charge. Is there any flash light like that? Thanks

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Looks like a picture of todderbert on the Sofirn box.

[@Laglagpaddy]

I'm trying to decide between this one and the SC31T for edc and general use. Which one would you recommend taking into consideration, value, performance, carry?

[@todderbert]

For general use I like side mounted, compact sized flashlights like this one. If you need to have quick access Turbo, go for the SC31T.

[@Laglagpaddy]

@todderbert thank you. I might go with the sc18 then since the quick access doesn't bother me too much and I value the compactness more.

[@hoopoo3721]

I really wish there was a setting to have the power led stay on or off just to help in finding your flashlight at night like the sc31pro.

[@todderbert]

Seems to be a feature on the more expensive Wurkkos models. The TS22 has a Flashlight Finder where you can set the button light to constant on, or blink.

[@LostLeftyLimb]

Can you explain where you got the modem battery pack you speak of?

[@todderbert]

The deals change all the time. Got them from batteryhookup.com

[@Thorsanbauer]

How did you get the relcaimed batteries so cheap again? Ty

[@todderbert]

Out of old Modem battery backup packs. I bought them from batteryhookup.com/products/3-lg-2600mah-18650-cells-in-modem-batteries

[@nickmartin8495]

can get them out of an old laptop computer battery back

[@Boxerjake77]

I have a ton of 18650 batteries I use to use in vape mods. I no longer vape and would like to find a edc flashlight that is compatible with the batteries I have. Will this work with my current batteries?

[@todderbert]

It will work with unprotected button top, and flat top 18650 batteries.

[@davidr9876]

I just got one and the reflector is smooth, no optics. I bought from aliexpress so it should be legit. Maybe they changed it. What does "unprotected" mean rre the battery?

[@todderbert]

The battery. Unprotected means it has no added electronics to safeguard the battery. Though the charging circuit of the flashlight will help protect the battery from overcharging, overdischarging, overvolt, undervolt, and short circuit.

[@whowhatwhenwherewhy3431]

Just ordered mine.

[@valueink]

Can you order replacement batteries once the included one no more charges or if it stops holding charge?

[@todderbert]

Yes, Olight will have them.

[@valueink]

@@todderbert But this is Sofirn. Does Olight make these?

[@todderbert]

@@valueink whoops, i was thinking of the new Seeker 4 flashlight I just reviewed. You will have no trouble getting batteries for this flashlight. It uses standard ones found on 18650batterystore.com , and vape shops.

[@JtotheRizzo]

Still? Better than the SC21 Pro (even though the SC21 Pro uses a 16340 battery)

[@evertonalexandre2101]

Pode usar pilha normal nela?

[@evertonalexandre2101]

Qual é melhor invictus ou sorfin?

[@paulozapppel]

Invictus é um lixo perto da Sofirn!!! Nem da pra comparar!

[@joseg3259]

How warm is the sc18 6500k??

[@todderbert]

6300-6500 from what I found on the net.
