Hands down the best light reviews here on you tube. Great comparisons of lumens,features, beam shots ,batteries ,design ,pricing and comparing all outputs! Keep up the great work!!
Totally agree. I just got into lights and got my first sofirn about 3 weeks ago. I watched a ton of reviews but always come to this channel to make my final decision. He’s just got the most clear cut info on whatever you are looking at.
I've been using the if25a for a couple months now. Fantastic light for the price, and very bright for the size. I think i want the ts25 with 519a leds next.
That's why I Watch "Chrome's reviews..And when it's on a Sale..check the Emitters.. Perhaps Some of the sales feature what ever product is ordered less and over stocked. The 519A's Emitters seem to be highly recommend.😊.I almost grabbed the sofirn for the Illuminated side switch..Then realized the differences and now rewatching reviews on them before I grab it Today on The sale..Grabbed 2 TS 10s for my Daughters for 17$ a piece with batteries shipped...and 2 sc 18s for 26$ 2 days ago..now the sc18 is 9$+..time to grab a couple is Now..7:45am 6/12/23..Great review as Always!😊🎉
Thank you Silver appreciate your comment and support and kind words my friend 🙏 Blessings 🙏 Congrats on picking up some great lights at amazing prices.
Got the IF25A and the TS25 with 519a's. Both are awesome torches, (but get HOT!). The Wurkkos cost AU$20 more than the Sofirn, but I had to have it just to get the colour changing LED's lol!! I was frustrated that I had to buy pocket clips separately for both of them though. Massive fan of Anduril, makes torches "smart". If I am giving a torch as a present though, it is always the Wuben C2. They are bulletproof, don't heat up and anyone can use them, young or old. Great video as always. 👍
i have all 3 lights as well The IF25 with its adjustable colour temperature is in a class of its own. The Wurkkos and IF 25A are also great blights. All are most likely made at the same4 factory i bet. Thanks for posting. Liked and subscribed.
@ 11:51 when you asked us to like the video and i looked down to see i liked the video already cause i did it at 00:00 LOL your vids are always worth a like man!
Hey, I was curious if you could answer a question about your TS25, on mine when I follow the instructions on the website it does not function in that manner. On the web site it says 7C should change the brightness of the aux lights and that 7H changes the mode. On mine 7C changes the color of the light, but not the brightness. Also, it says you should be able to have a different light set for lockout versus standby, but it's not the case on mine, whatever I set on standby also will be the same on lockout! Is yours the same?
@@smotheredchrome From what someone told me on Reddit it is because mine is the pre-production version and once they went into production they fixed this issue. Really sucks because I wanted to make a video about this light, but because I do not have the production version I am not sure it'd be a fair review. I messaged Wurkkos to see if maybe they'd give me a discount on a production version, so we'll see.
@@smotheredchrome Well, now I just have to play the waiting game and hope they respond with some kind of discount or something like that lol Anyways, thank you so much for checking for me!
I’m really loving my first Wurkkos light, the TS10, and hopefully want to add the TS25 soon. Any clue as to when they’ll start production back on those?
can the tail cap of the wurkkos ts25 fits to the sofirn if25..im planning to buy a magnetic tail cap for my sofirn but the available is for wurkkos ts25 only..
It is not clear to me whether the lights really differ greatly in distance? it is stated that if25a illuminates 420 meters, and ts25 200 meters. Because, judging by the reviews, I suspect that this is marketing, not a fact, and the iF25a also shines at 200 meters top
I Love the IF25 for around the house. But with the IF25 I don't like the UI. I fumble fk trying to shut the light off sometimes until I get used to it. Indoor I like lower kelvin 3-4500K, Outdoor 5500-6500K So I do like the IF25 for this. Suggestion with Sofirn videos. -Tail switches- adding these to different models of sofirn like the IF22a. -Extension battery tubes- to add a battery or 2 in Parallel to add longer life or balance the weight of the light in my hand. Oh by the way I received the C8L in the mail Thank you very much!!. The light is better than I thought it was going to be. ;)
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment and support 🙏 Thank you for the suggestions I will definitely put something together for you appreciate you 🙏
Hello Smothered Chrome! Just wondering since the IF25 is no longer available, if you were to pick between the IF25A or the TS25 which one would you pick and why? Thanks my friend!
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 Yes I believe the newer versions have anduril 2 I have the old version anduril 1, the caps are not enter changeable ts25 smaller threads.
I have been carrying the if25 for a while because it's one of the smallest 21700 flashlight I had one drop like pocket height and I'm not tall and it stopped working and all the company would do is give me $10 off another one so that passed me off they said 1 year warranty which apparently doesn't mean anything but a couple months later I ordered another one and the $10 off expired so I guess they really won that one
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏 Sorry to hear about that, they should of warranty their product. The if25 is my top 5 flashlight of all time it's a amazing light IMHO.
Thank you I appreciate your comment 🙏 The new Sofirn if19 would be my recommendation only $30, around 450 meters of throw 2000 lumens runs on 18350 battery or you could use the long tube and use 18650 cells
@@smotheredchrome .. Thank you man! I’m new to your channel.. love your videos .. u do a amazing job.. keep up the great work! Look forward to every thing you post
Thank you I appreciate your comment 🙏 Alot more opinions in anduril 2, basically anduril 2 is a better version IMHO. I still like my anduril 1 version but if I had to pick between them anduril 2 all day no hesitation.
No problem my friend appreciate you 🙏 I'm actually settling up to do a anduril video I'll throw in the cheat sheet for each version so you can get a idea or quick reference.
No you don't have to buy if25a I'm not sure if they even come with a adapter but any 18650 adapter should work but I have a couple adapters that are to long so they end up not working in some lights.
Thank you brother flashlight lover. Me don’t buy all the lights just the ones it suits me finally review it by you and compared with others.. in a decent budget friendly proveen tested by many.

Yes I agree the if25 is in a league of it's own, the wurkkos is made by sofirn
Hallo...Was the head opened? Do you think something like xhp50 led would fit into this flashlight? I want to reflow them:) Thanks

7c changes the brightness and 7h changes the mode, so it sounds like your firmware is mixed up I'm not sure just assuming.

What is that Samsung battery you always throw in there and where can I get some?
Samsung 40t and I purchased them from 18650batterystore.com
Thanks...Smothered Chrome👍👍👍
Thank you my friend I appreciate your comment 🙏
Can the TS25 run on 18650 & 21700 battery like the IF25A?
Yes you should have no issues besides maybe rattling unless you have a 18650 battery tube adapter.
@@smotheredchrome So it means you have to buy the IF25A first to have the 18650 adapter or else battery rattles making it noisy.
@@smotheredchrome it would be nice if we can buy just the 18650 adapter alone.
@@smotheredchrome Can the TS21 run on 18650 battery & does it come with an 18650 adapter?
No you don't have to buy if25a I'm not sure if they even come with a adapter but any 18650 adapter should work but I have a couple adapters that are to long so they end up not working in some lights.
