Sofirn SP36 Pro 8000-Lumen Rechargeable LED Flashlight
I recently put the Sofirn SP36 Pro through its paces to see if its massive 8000-lumen output holds up in real-world conditions. This compact torch aims to bridge the gap between heavy-duty search lights and portable everyday carry gear.
Performance & Build Quality
The SP36 Pro feels substantial in the hand, featuring a solid metal construction that can withstand the rigors of camping or hiking. The four SST40 LEDs are well-protected behind a reinforced lens, ensuring that the light remains functional even after heavy use. Its design is both durable and heat-efficient, allowing it to maintain high outputs without feeling flimsy.
Day-to-Day Experience
Using the USB-C charging port makes this light incredibly convenient, as you no longer need to carry specialized chargers for the 18650 batteries. While the interface has a slight learning curve for beginners, the sheer amount of light it puts out quickly makes it the go-to tool for any nighttime activity. It handles comfortably, providing a consistent, wide beam that lights up entire trails with ease.
This is the perfect tool for backcountry hikers, campsite managers, or homeowners who need a reliable, high-output backup light during power outages.
Final Thoughts
The Sofirn SP36 Pro is an absolute powerhouse that earns its 4.95/5 rating by delivering exactly what it promises. For $99.00, you are getting a top-tier lighting solution that is as reliable as it is bright. It is easily one of the most impressive torches I have tested this year.
