31:56 Candle-Mode has an automatic built in switch off timer after 30 minutes (or 60-90-120 minutes) just 3 fast CLICKS for every 30 minutes, it will indicate with a fast flash, I use it to fall asleep faster 💤 This is why i got the sofirn sc31pro just for the candle mode 😆 🔦
Thanks for the clear instructions, I've been try to get strobe to come on for days. After watching this I now get strobe activated with 3 clicks and hold on the 3rd click everytime.
You're more than welcome my friend. It's a bit of a skill, but once you have it, it's like riding a bike 👍
Dude ,another awesome review. Just added the torch to my wish list. Your attention to detail is superb.
Hi John. Thank you for the kind words my friend. Its always great to hear from people who appreciate my content. I hope you're havi g a great weekend 👍
anduri is for flash light enthusiast, for who that like to play with light, like my self🤗
It's definitely for the enthusiast. I'd love to see a version that's more scalable. Maybe have an option for a starter level, intermediate and grand master. Not sure how it would work, but that would be cool
Wow what a flashlight 😳 I think a flashlight with this many features should come with a way to program it to your liking via software with better display of data. There is so much to remember and some features are definetly useless for some people and useful to others.
Thanks for the comprehensive video Sir 😊 Good night
Yes, there's definitely a lot to remember. I think she flashlights like this get to this point of complexity, they'd definitely benefit from having a small display similar to how some Nitecore flashlights have. Although, the more you use the light the easier it gets. You're right about some feather will never get used. Have a great week by friend
If you are interested in the UI of this flashlight it uses what is called Anduril 2.0 and it is the most customizable flashlight UI available. Sofirn makes the SP10 Pro which is a AA/14500 sized flashlight that has all of the same features and modes as the IF25A. Andurin 2.0 isn't particular to Sofirn either, Wuurkos also make a few lights that use this interface.
I’ve got one and it’s brilliant.
You can make it as easy or as complicated as you want.
I think that's the best way to think about it. I'm a huge fan of the candle and lightening modes too 😂 hope you're having an awesome weekend Steve
Just purchased one of these for evening fishing, superb light for the size and money, im struggling to get the strobe functions operating though.
Hi Ben. I think I struggled with that too. It's a triple click where you hold down on the third click. I find these instructions useful

Just so you know, there’s QUITE a bit more to anduril, for instance 5 clicks while on will set manual memory, meaning it will always come on at the current brightness.
Also 4000k is warm white, 6500k is cool white.
A fellow on YT named “flashlight enthusiast” has a great vid on anduril UI!
Great video:)
Hi DT. Thanks for this. Since making this if learnt quite a lot more from these comments 👍 I definitely got the warm and cool the wrong way round 😊 I'll add a note to the disceiption. Have a great weekend buddy
I really do like the manual memory toggle.
Love mine, I use it for wild camping. 👍
With the lightening mode around a camp fire? It doesn't get better than that 😂 thanks for watching Jim Bob 👍
i cannot get my turbo mode to come on for some reason when i double click like normal it just turns off now, also the button does not illuminate anymore while torch is off, dont know if ive done something while its in my pocket. any help or ideas would be very much appreciated! :D
Hi Josh. I think I struggled with the Turbo too. I found it's a super quick double click. Slike Superman or Flash speed of light style double click. Speed is the essence
Hey bro. I am unable to go to advance mode where i can use storb or other functions. Can u tell me how to enter in advance mode. Thanks
It can be tricky. If you follow the instructions and make sure to count the clicks and long press it'll work. It's definitely some finger gymnastics to get it right
Way too conplicated. Thinking of getting it though, just cause I like the smooth ramping function.
How do you know it needs charging? Does it turn red? Or just turns red when you plug it in?
Hi, yes, there's an LED indicator in the power on button to show that it needs charging. You can also check the battery level with a series of clicks and then depending on the flashes that come back you can see what level the battery is at. It all seems quite complicated at first but when you get your head around it, it's reasonably easy. I hope that helps
@@MoorlanderEDC huh, I may be having issues with mine then as it just ran out of juice and there was no warning at all.
Hmmmmm... Now I'm worried I've dreamt that 😉 ill have a look on my lunch today and get back to you. I definitely know you can check the battery level. May the LED indicator is whilst it's being charged. Leave this with me 👍
Hi, I may have dreamt the LED indicator. You can shecknthe levels but there doesn't seem to be a 'oh, you need to charge me' kind of LED sequence.
@@MoorlanderEDC That’s the only thing I don’t like about this light so far it’s pretty cool. But yeah you would think it would let u know, pretty important thing to know. I don’t completely understand how to check the battery life from the video or the instructions.
Not a fan of the Anduril UI - just find them too complex to remember all the settings and clicks and the step down when the heat up. Proper flashaholics piece of kit. I prefer the Nebo range of lights, more straight forward for most peoples needs.
This torch took me way out of my comfort zone. Its been one of the most technical pieces of content I've had to make. I think a small display would help, and maybe another button. After a few other torch reviews, I can imagine forgetting half this stuff 😂
@@MoorlanderEDC Good points. Im not saying theres anything wrong with these kind of torches but I tend to only use 3 or 4 modes generally. Its the lumen step down and heat settings I dont like. Good review as usual though 👍
😁 I get'cha... Sometimes something like an I3T or i5t is all you need.
I purchased if25a and mine's got orange and blue light unlike yours which is green. I can't make it to go into strobe mode.
Seems like this is a feature than many struggle with
Is this torch no longer in production in 2022? Did a search in Dec 2022....no where to be seen :)
Hi Anderson. I'm not 100% sure. Sofirn may have replaced it with a newer updated model
Hi is it the Sofirn IF25a andruil v2 same setting
It is yes Mohd. I missed out saying this in the content here. This is the version 2
@@MoorlanderEDC owhh ok thanks 😊
Good product sir...
That is the most complicated flashlight I've ever seen. I think it's the same old story of "just because they could, doesn't mean they should".
It'll take something pretty special to drag me away from Olight.
Thanks for the tutorial though mate.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Dan. It's a great flashlight and definitely overwhelming. It's great to see what's coming up for future torch tech. I think a small display or even a second menu/optiins button could make it more accessible. Hope you have a great weekend buddy
Is it known how long the battery lasts per each step or have I missed that info in the video?
HI There. There's every chance I forgot to mention it as there was a lot to cover 😅 Here's a link to the Sofirn website which should help - www.sofirnlight.com/products/sofirn-if25a-anduril-rechargeable-flashlight-max-3800-lumen-typec-charger-powered-by-21700-battery_htxd
Nice video brother.
Many many thanks
How did you turn on the breathing light?
Hi Mr Wan. If I remember rightly it's a double click and then hold for a few seconds. Then double click to change the options from lightening to candle, to strobe etc. I hope this helps my friend 👍
7 clicks from 'off'. Repeating this will cycle through low, high, breathing, off.
Thank you Martyn 👍
my leds are yellow or blue, NO green?
Hi Michael. I've had a few people comment they have different combinations of LEDs. I'm starting to wonder if it's a batch thing for Sofirn maybe by year
Just got one, complicated ASF 😂😭😂😭😂
😅 Tyrese, my friend... your Batchelors Degree should arrive from Sanofi and MIT any time now 😆 Now that you've had it for a few weeks, are you finding it easier to use/remember the functions?
@@MoorlanderEDC it's definitely a really great flashlight, sturdy and a work horse... Not complicated at all once you learn the key functions... My favorite is the momentary from last mode with 5 clicks and the double click for turbo is money
👍
Hi
Thanks for your video.
I own a Sofirn sp 35 with which I am very happy.Would like to own another light with a higher output.The if 25 a , according to advertising, on stepped modes would suit me fine. Now my question is what would be the maximum lumen output without stepping down, nor getting too hoot to handle be???
Could it maintain 1500 lumens?? For how long ?
Thanks
Hi Henry. That's a great question. I've checked the manual and can't find anything on the mid range strengths and kick downs. That may be that there isn't one, or it's long enough that for most use it'll not be reached. I've found Sofirn have a great social media team. I think if you messaged them via Facebook or Instagram they'd be able to help. Have a great week my friend
@@MoorlanderEDC Thanks
Check the zeroair review. Sp35 is basically the best for sustained output at 850.
This can't maintain more than like 550.
Do the green led on the switch always blink or can you set it to not blink but stay lit ?
Hi JJ. Yes, there's another series of clicks you can do top programme the green button LED. I can't remember off the top of my head, however it's 7 or 8 clicks and then there's a few setting i.e. always flashing, flashing when in use or no flashing. There's may even be a flashing but only half the brightness. Hope that helps my friend
@@MoorlanderEDC too thank-you for the reply and the great video. I think I'll order this today, thanks for great video
Ok, so i just got the f22a, it's pocketable, not to heavy, a nice size but they could have done one of 2 things to make this near perfect. Recess the switch deep so can be easily found or have an option where the green led on the switch would stay on. But tonight I'm using it and I'm impressed, tho I'll say, ny thru nite tn4a is casts the light just as far but that's 4 double AA at 6 volts. But this will be my new every day carry. But i decided not to get the f25 and went with the farther throwing f22a..
Why is your button green and mine orange 🤨
That's a question question. I'm really nice sure. Maybe they changed them on a few or a small batch?
May I ask? why my flashlight if25a can't switch to strobe mode? I have tried pressing 2 click+hold and nothing happens? can you help me
Hi Laventier, I'm not sure really my friend. I'd say try and remove the battery and then try again just in case. The double click+press needs to be pretty fast. I hope this helps
Hi! I was having the same issue. You have to do 10 clicks from off and hold the last click to activate the advanced UI. You are probably in simple UI which doesn't allow strobe mode.
@@ryanrohn9302 thanks for this as no one was saying this , it help me as i was haveing the same 2 click+hold and nothing happens ,
Nice on Ryan. Didn't even realise there was an advanced mode. I'll see if I can remember that for the future 🤜🤛
This operating system will make you feel dumb for about 2 hours. I was afraid to put my q8 in advanced mode so i stared at the chart for about 10 minutes and all of a sudden I was like oh now i get it. I think that chart may be confusing at first just for fun. will stay in advanced just to keep the darn switch from glowing all the time.
Hi Chris... couldn't agree more. This really twisted my melon at first but there was a definite penny drop moment. It's amazing to see what's possible with just a single button. I think either a second button or a tiny display would really help too
Nice bro!!!!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks buddy 👍
Can we quit with the dumbed down Americanisation of the British language?
Its a torch
I concur. It's 100% a torch and outside of the Yous Tubes I solely refer to as such. Having tinker with the TH-cam algorithm to test out how they voice recognition works using the term 'flashlight' picks up my content and recommends it more. Google have been using TH-cam for a few years now with voice recognition. Unfortunately it's a form of bastardised language I've had to semi-adopt for the Tubes. It's a strangely necessary evil to help the channel grow. Maybe when I hit 1mil subs I'll revert back to His Highnesses English with my beautiful Moorlands accent 😆 Hope you're well buddy and having a great week so far. All my best
