Hello I recently got into flashlights so I bought the IF22A and the SC33 and they're very cool
The SP70 , IF23 (I think) and the SF26 are very interesting but I was wondering which model you guys and gals recommend (I don't have any preference over flood or spot)
And also SP70 owners, is it any good? The runtime on it is pretty interesting
Thank you all for your help have a nice day

My favorite sofirn lights are the sp35 and C8L. For wurkkos, the ts22. I have both the 70.2 and the 70.3 high cri versions in 5000k. Both are flooders, high CRI looks a bit greener in person side by side, but doesn't look green on its own. Has a slightly defined hotspot compared to the 70.2 which has no hotspot at all.
The IF25A 4000k is a great high CRI pocket flooder. The TS10 is such a perfect EDC. The TS22 is a well regulated and very bright flood light with high sustainable output.
I can't really comment on the SP70 or the IF23.
The SF26 should give you noticeably more throw with a full charge than the IF22A, but it's pretty poorly regulated. If you think you're going to get into more premium lights, you might save up for an Acebeam L18 or L19 2.0
I would maybe recommend the C8L if you're looking for something between your IF22A and SC33. The IF22A has more throw, but the C8L has better regulation and sustained output.
SP33S looks good, but is probably too similar to the SC33.
If you're looking for more output, there's always the Q8 Plus. That's still one of the best deals on a lumen monster you'll find.
For small lights, you have the Sofirn SP10 V3 or Pro (the pro is the only dual fuel Anduril light I'm aware of), the Sofirn SC21 Mini or Pro, or the Wurkkos TS10.
I have a sofirn SP70 otw. I am definitely looking forward to it. I highly recommend picking up a Wurkkos TS11and everyone needs a Sofirn Q8 Plus in their collection.
If you want FLOOD but in a small package, look at the WK15 or TS22.
The WK15 is smaller, has more steps, no magnetic tailcap by default, unregulated.
The TS22 is regulated and brighter.
Sp70 is a wall of light and with the two 26650 plus the efficient driver it has great runtimes that are flat.
I also vote SP70. Can cram two 21700s in there as well with high discharge rate and it gets brighter.
I got my parents one and a C8L and want to get the sp70 modded with a hi version since the tint is way nicer.
It's a powerful light for sure and one of my favorite double celled light but not sure about the driver efficiency. It has a linear driver.
1200 lumens for 5+ hours is pretty solid
Yes true and that's primarily due to its thermal mass. Sofirn isn't using the best driver in this light though
I would go with a Convoy L6 over a Sofirn SP70 personally
