- In this Throwdown Episode, I challenge the claim that the Sofirn IF24 is an upgrade to the IF23 and also throw in the Wurkkos HD01 for comparison. The Sofirn IF24 is NOT and upgrade from the Sofirn IF23. The Wurkkos HD01 and the IF23 both rise above the IF24 in MANY ways, watch the video and find out why.

Here is a test I do. Large white wall about 20 to 25 feet a way. Put IF23 in turbo mode pointing toward the wall. Then turn on the IF24 on turbo mode pointing at the wall. You will barely notice the IF24 was turned on at all. Then do the opposite. Turn the IF24 on first. Then turn on the IF23 and you will see it completely makes the light on the wall from the IF24 disappear because it so greatly outshines the IF24.
Interesting test. I like it.
According to another You Tuber test the HD01 ran turbo mood for 3.5 minutes before dropping down.
Impressive. I like the HD01 a lot. Far more compact if that’s the size someone is looking for.
I am with you on the IF23. I like the warmer tone, the bigger battery, and the better flood. Never owned a Wurkkkos but it seems decent! Its like these torches are an evolution of the Arkfeld. The runtimes seem slightly odd but fine. That ring on the IF24 feels like a fidget toy. I like the option of a reversible clip. Rechargeable battery is a huge plus. I have some lights with built in batteries and although they are great, when they die, they die... I can deal with the width but length is a problem for your pocket. I wonder how long that rotating ring will last before the it wears out or gets play between the connectors. Those features are cool but my lights are tools not toys. Id rather it be straight forward and easier to use. I think they all might be versatile but I am taking one with me for most situations its the IF23. I think it can be seen as a variation instead of an upgrade. Hope you are doing well bro! Take care and God bless you all! 👌👌
I concur with all you’ve said. The IF24 being a variation is a great way of putting its updated design in a correct context. The Wurkkos HD01 is a dandy little multipurpose light. It’s the perfect size for such a pocket carry.
Hope you’re doing well, working my tail off and trying to keep up with YT reviews. Busy times but my treasured time is with the Word.
@@Realidealgear I think they are all good lights! Same on this side bro! We do what we can! Stay blessed man!

check reviews with lumen tests to know what the real output is. if23 turbo is around 2900 lumens nowhere near the claimed 4000
True, and that variable (actual lumen output) is likely applicable to all their models as they likely use the same testing protocols for Sofirn lights (lumen, candela, etc). Thanks for watching and sharing.
dang*it... i added the if23 to/fro my amazon cart at least 3 times tonight for a birthday gift for a special electrician in my life... decisions decisions... he's a smart man... he WILL figure out how to press the buttons... i'm an old man.. 2nd-guessing if the if24 was better BUT THEN... i'm sure his young mind will grasp the concept of "button presses in succession" to make it work the way he wants. I was SOLD on the 23...then removed it from the cart for the 24 cuz it looked easier.. but wait... the 23 HAS reverse clip((ball cap)... reverse charging... yeah... IF23 HANDS-DOWN!
You’ve hit on the reasons why I think the 23 is superior, not to mention the output is higher with a heat flood beam. Check out the candela video I did…I showcased the IF23 is a one of the best security lights anyone can own.
Also…if you combine a dual charging battery with the 23, any camping/travel will two ways of charging multiple devices. And yet the dual charging batteries are usable in the IF23….there’s no need for an extraneous, dedicated battery packs. The 21700 dual charging batteries runs the IF23 whereas a charging pack can’t be quickly swapped/used in the IF23.
The IF24 Pro is even worse than the IF24.
Yes, i and the pro version buck driver keeps the lumen spikes more leveled, if that makes sense. Thereby the drop off is also greatly minimized. I would take the IF24 Pro for that reason over the IF24. If you want a more versatile flashlight, the IF23 is the way to go (power bank alone makes the case).
Thanks for watching and commenting.
