Powerful Illumination for Outdoor Use
The Sofirn C8L features a Cree XHP50.3 HI LED, delivering a maximum output of 3100 lumens with a beam throw of 531 meters, powered by an included 21700 Li-ion battery (5000mAh). It offers multiple modes, controlled by a tactical tail switch and side switch, with the following lumen outputs and runtimes:
- Turbo: 3100 lumens for approximately 1 hour (steps down after a few minutes to manage heat)
- High: 1300 lumens for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes
- Medium: 500 lumens for approximately 6 hours
- Low: 100 lumens for approximately 26 hours
- Eco: 8 lumens for approximately 220 hours
- Strobe: 3100 lumens (runtime not specified)
- SOS: 3100 lumens (runtime not specified)
- Beacon: 3100 lumens (runtime not specified)
The flashlight charges via a built-in USB-C port in about 3 hours with a 2.5A charger, with an indicator light (red while charging, green when full). It is IPX8 waterproof (submersible to 2m) and includes Advanced Temperature Regulation (ATR) technology to adjust brightness when the driver reaches 50°C, though it may get warm on Turbo, requiring careful handling. This makes the C8L a versatile choice for outdoor use, though users should manage heat and ensure proper charging.
Durable and Compact Design
The Sofirn C8L is constructed from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum alloy with a Type III hard-anodized finish, offering durability for rugged outdoor conditions like camping or hunting. It measures 156mm in length (6.14 inches) with a head diameter of 46.5mm (1.83 inches), weighing 151g without the battery (approximately 220g with the included 21700 battery), making it suitable for jacket pocket or holster carry. The flashlight features a smooth reflector with an orange peel finish, dual switches (tail for on/off, side for modes), and a lanyard hole for added security, though its size may not fit tight trouser pockets. This makes the C8L a durable, compact choice for outdoor use, though users should consider carry preferences.
Designed for Outdoor and Tactical Use
The Sofirn C8L 3100 Lumen 531m Throw Rechargeable Flashlight with 21700 Battery for Outdoor Use is tailored for campers, hunters, and EDC enthusiasts needing a reliable, long-throw light for outdoor activities, emergencies, or tactical scenarios. For example, its 531m throw can light up distant targets during a hunt, while the 220-hour Eco mode ensures extended use for reading, though the dual-switch UI requires practice to master mode cycling, and the lack of a lockout function necessitates unscrewing the tailcap to prevent accidental activation. The IPX8 rating, USB-C charging, and mode memory enhance its reliability, but users should avoid direct eye exposure due to its intensity. The C8L's affordable price, included battery, and tactical design make it a practical choice for outdoor scenarios, offering a balance of power and convenience, though users should plan for UI familiarity and heat management.
