Had this for a couple of weeks, thought I’d posted it up but I can’t see it anywhere. It’s a decent bit of fun, so worth showing. Came in at about $65 with the massive 32650 battery. That’s D size width, but longer, it’s huge. Sofirn don’t seem to mind experimenting, the last one I bought was the IF23 with the main beam, side panel work light, and RGB colours. I was skeptical about that one, but got a deal on it. It’s now a firm fave, really nice design, power bank too.

This thing is pretty small for such a powerhouse, the pics don’t really show how much light this produces, I must take some pics with more range across the fields. Has a very smooth and handy rotary switch for brightness, much easier than fumbling about feeling for a small button. Wind up and down for light levels, and press for the outer ring of LEDs flood or inner SST-40 throw. Or both at the same time to give the full 12,000lm.

That road looks like it heads right to the Dingly Dell. You off the beaten track or near a village or town?

Edge of Bognor, place called Lidsey. If you google map it, we’re over to the right not far from the railway line, near some scarification marks. Bognor industrial estates creep closer daily, Amazon are just building a truly huge distribution centre a few hundred yards away.

It will do for the time being, Lara loves it, it’s a rental so due to our circumstances we’ve paid a year upfront to give us a little less pressure and worry about meeting the rent each month. It’s expensive, but no matter. This area is my old stomping ground, I was brought up at Green Farm, North Bersted, I know it well. It’s kind of heartbreaking to see it all being concreted over to be honest, my dad was the vet for all the local farmers around here, grade A agricultural flood plain, superb fertile soil for crops and grass.

Looks really pretty there, Rich. Canals and a Sainsbury's. I mean what else do you need? :)

Geez, the specs in the thread title had me imagining something much bulkier, that's actually verging on being a practical pocket nutter!
