Sofirn SP36 NarsilM (SP36NARSILM) specifications

Brand	Sofirn
Name	SP36 NarsilM
Type	SP36NARSILM
Rating	★★★★★ Rated 4/5 based on 1304 user votes.
Launch	2019
Form	flashlight

The presence of a flashlight can provide a sense of reassurance and confidence in unfamiliar or potentially dangerous environments.

Body

Weight	300 g
Length	126.7 mm
Head diameter	50 mm
Material	aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black

The 300 g flashlight would be considered moderately heavy for a handheld flashlight. The weight may provide advantages like increased durability or the ability to house larger batteries for longer runtime. The length of a flashlight can affect how it feels in your hand and how you can grip and maneuver it. A longer flashlight may provide a more substantial grip, making it easier to hold and control, especially if you have larger hands.

The aluminium bodies can be anodized, providing a protective layer and a wide range of color options for flashlight bodies. Anodizing enhances the corrosion resistance, hardness, and scratch resistance of the aluminum, while also allowing for a variety of attractive finishes. The body of SP36 NarsilM flashlight treated with a Type III hard-anodized, anti-abrasive ﬁnish. This flashlight features a captivating black color.

System

Emitter	4 x Cree XP-L2 HI LEDs
Color temperature	5500 K
Reflector	SMO
Lens	AR coated glass
Switch	electronic side

The emitter of SP36 NarsilM manufactured by Cree, a US-based LED manufacturing company. Cree is a well-regarded LED manufacturer known for its high-quality products and innovation in the lighting industry. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light. The smooth reflector is typically used in flashlights where long-range illumination is a priority, such as searchlights or thrower flashlights. By minimizing light scattering and maximizing light directionality, the smooth reflector can produce a tighter and more concentrated beam that reaches greater distances.

The AR coating on the lens maximizes light transmission, making the flashlight more effective in darker environments. The SP36 NarsilM utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance

Flux	6000 lm
Intensity	75625 cd
Throw	550 m
CD/LM factor	12.6

With 6000 lm, the SP36 NarsilM flashlight will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. It can illuminate large areas, outdoor spaces, or even act as a temporary spotlight in certain situations. 75625 cd represents an extremely high level of brightness for a flashlight. The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. Flashlights with a higher cd/lm ratio typically excel in long-range throw and focused beam applications, while flashlights with a lower cd/lm ratio may provide a wider and more evenly distributed beam for closer-range illumination or general-purpose use.

Software

Firmware	NarsilM
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	yes
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	yes

NarsilM has a user-friendly interface that allows for intuitive operation and navigation through different modes and settings. It often incorporates a combination of button presses or sequences to access various features. The SP36 NarsilM has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. Instead of having predefined brightness levels or fixed modes, the ramping mode lets you adjust the light intensity seamlessly within a specific range.

The SP36 NarsilM is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate. It has the SOS beacon function for an emergency situation. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed. The SOS signal is recognized as an international distress call and is used to indicate an urgent need for assistance.

Features

Battery	3 x 18650 Li-Ion batteries
Battery indicator	yes
Charger port	USB Type-C
LVP	yes
Thermal regulation	yes
Protection	IPx7
AUX LEDs	no
Magnetic	no

The Sofirn SP36 NarsilM flashlight is powered by 3 x 18650 Li-Ion batteries. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. USB rechargeable flashlights have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their convenience and sustainability. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary.

The SP36 NarsilM has thermal protection feature. The thermal protection mechanisms are designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of the flashlight during operation. This feature helps prevent overheating, which can be detrimental to the flashlight's performance, battery, and overall safety. The "7" in the IPx7 rating indicates that the SP36 NarsilM flashlight, can withstand being submerged in water up to a certain depth for a limited time without being damaged.
