The Sofirn TS10 is the best-selling flashlight promoted by Sofien, and since its release last year, it has been popular with Kirito friends because of its mini portable size and rich playability. Later, brass, red copper and titanium versions were introduced. Combined with a petite size, plus Andrew 2.0 and multi-color auxiliary auxiliary lights. The "literary play" attribute on his body has greatly increased. Going out for a walk or walk at night, whether it is a tool or a toy to play with, is quite pleasant. I wanted to grab the titanium version when I first launched a good price, but unfortunately it was soon gone. Only grabbed a brass, it's not bad, let's talk about this "three-eyed boy" today:
There is nothing to say on the package, and the photo is directly skipped. Compact box body + three-dimensional sealing, simple and generous.
There is specific model and color temperature information on the side of the box: my 4000K high color rendering.
The back of the package is not exempt from the fact that a more detailed list of gauges is printed: a total of six gears, with a maximum brightness of 1400 lumens.
In terms of contents, since I started with a battery-free version, there was nothing other than the flashlight body, two-way clamp, bracelet (the clamp has holes to hang), and instructions. It is worth mentioning that considering the oxidizing properties of copper itself, disposable vacuum packaging is used when it leaves the factory (it is torn in hand, so it is not shown in the picture).
Let's take a look directly at the "protagonist": because the material of the clamp is different from the flashlight, it was not installed for the sake of plate play. Of course, after installation, it can be easily clipped to the brim of the hat and used as a night run or work light.
I started with brass, and although it is copper with red copper, there is still a difference. Let's talk about red copper, also called copper, in fact, pure copper, named for its color purple red, it has good electrical conductivity / heat, excellent plasticity. Brass, on the other hand, is composed of copper and zinc elements, has good wear resistance, and is different from the rose red of red copper, which is light gold. The copper content is only about 60%. Of course, if you play it purely, the natural red copper version is better. But brass is not useless, it is stronger and denser.
Of course, it contains copper, and it will definitely oxidize over time. Long-term play tray out of the pulp can reveal the thick feeling of years precipitated, which is also a characteristic that ordinary aluminum and titanium versions do not have. Speaking of the tube, the TS10 has a length of 71.5mm and a barrel diameter of 21mm. It is very small in the hand and easy to play with in the palm of your hand. The bright brass is undoubtedly more beautiful than the black aluminum version. In addition, the flashlight is waterproof to IPX8 and has 1 meter drop resistance. It's okay to use it roughly.
The whole flashlight is very simple and does not have intensive knurled processing. There is a clear sense of layering from the head of the lamp to the tail. Among them, the head is also specially designed with heat dissipation fins. If it is turned on, the heat will be quickly transferred to the barrel grip (after all, copper has better heat dissipation).
Let's take a look at the head first: TS10 uses 3 domestic crystalline CSP2323 LED lamp beads as the main light, and also has 3 monochrome AUX LEDs as the secondary light, the color of this secondary light can be selected, ice blue, red and orange pay attention to the version when the player electricity.
The auxiliary light will light up after each boot (easy to locate and find when lighting at night, it looks good when it is lit like this, of course, you can also choose to turn off, and you can switch between off/dark/light/flash with 7 quick combos in the shutdown state). The picture of the color sublight on the previous photo (my orange this one), although it is not expected to change different colors, but it is still quite bright.
When you unscrew the lamp head, you can see that the TS10 has a double-barrel design (there is another layer inside). It is worth mentioning that the flashlight only supports a single 14500 lithium battery power supply, and does not support AA (No. 5) batteries, which is a pity. If you want to last long, you need to bring a few more 14500 batteries.
The TS10's tail cap is beautifully done, and the teardrop-shaped design makes the flashlight look more refined. But here again, don't mistake it for being able to unscrew. If you screw it, you have to start with the head.
Close-up of the head circuit board: TS10 is not equipped with a Type-C charging port, so it can only be unscrewed to charge. However, although the flashlight can be divided into three parts, do not forcibly twist the tail for thousands of yuan, and the powerful one is not a miracle, but a cup. Replacing the battery only needs to be turned on from the lamp head, which must be remembered to avoid damage. There is no shortage of barrel LOGO, anti-scalding and positive and negative pole logos, and it will be more humane if you can add a screw sign to the lamp head.
The electronic tail press is deliberately made into a concentric circle shape, and it is easy to tap even with gloves. In terms of operation, it uses the Anduril 2.0 UI control circuit that people love and hate, love that its playability is very high, hate that its user manual is very unfriendly to novices, the control logic is very complicated, and there are many points to remember. The relevant functions will not be detailed here, and if you are interested, you can spend your own life. In short, when played well, it is a good toy. If you have a handicapped party, it is also OK to remember a few common functions.
Finally, let's look at the actual night shine performance, the Sofirn TS10 is equipped with a large flood surface of the high-display 95 main lamp, which can achieve full coverage. It is also friendly to the human eye when illuminated, and is relatively soft and not dazzling. Paving lighting during walks does not affect TA people.
It has a maximum brightness of 1400 lumens and a range of 130 meters. Of course, if you open the extremely bright, it will soon be "impotent". The usual files in advanced mode are also around 580-900 lumens, which is enough for daily use. Here are more examples of night shots:
Summary: This TS10 is not only small, but also sophisticated enough. Different versions such as yellow/red copper and titanium are more suitable for play. The initial price is not much higher than the regular version. Of course, it also has shortcomings, such as no direct charging, incompatible AA batteries, etc. But the flaws are not hidden, if you need an EDC cylinder that can be carried closely, played with at leisure, and can be used directly when needed, then it is a good choice.
