Sofirn SF36, XP-L2 Flashlight

Starting with the body of the light, one can easily see that the dimensions are quite compact.
I would categorize its size somewhere between a Convoy S2 and a C8.
The body is made out of aluminum and is type 3 anodized while the finish is quite glossy.

The light ships with a crenelated bezel and a smooth reflector.

The bezel can be easily removed to gain access to the light's emitter.

As seen in the pictures, my emitter arrived pretty well centered.

Both the head and the tail can be easily disassembled.

The retaining ring on the driver side is reverse threaded, while the one on the switch is a normal one.

The XP-L2 is seated in a copper MCB that is secured in place using a screw.

Here are a couple of close up shots of the light's reverse clicky switch.

The switch is quite tactile which provides great feedback.

The light has 4 regular modes (Moonlight -> Low -> Mid -> High) while it jumps to a variable 

frequency strobe after two quick taps on the switch.

If the light is left on high for more than 20 minutes, it will jump back to Mid as thermal protection 

kicks in.

The thermal capacity of the light is more than enough for a constant usage.

After around 10 minutes on High mode, it gets quite warm but its nothing to worry about.

As with my most flashlights, I am unable to leave a fresh torch untouched. 

So I went ahead and did the regular spring bypass mod using copper braided wire.

Without the mod, the light would pull 3.0A at high, while the mod allowed it to pull a maximum of 3.7A

Here are some current draw figures I captured using a Samsung INR18650-25R

Mode        Current (A)

Moonlight  0.03

Low            0.17

Mid            0.99

High          3.7

The flashlight arrived along with a manual, a couple of spare o-rings, a battery charger as well as 

a Sofirn 2800mAh 18650 battery.

After doing two full charge cycles, the total capacity of the battery was measured at 2722mAh

Lastly, here are some beamshots of the 4 modes of the light.
A locked exposure of 1/125 sec and 100 ISO was used throughout the shots.
