Great little torch
A great little torch packed with plenty of features at a budget price. I own a Sofrin sc31pro and sp36 and really like both of them. This is no exception, great size so can be carried in a pocket or put in a bag/pack/vehicle and always have a good reliable torch on you. Size wise it's just a little shorter than the sc31pro so some may like it's portability. It's a fairly simple use and once you have read the manual and worked out the modes you would use it will become muscle memory to get to. Usb C charging is great one less cable to carry and the replaceable 18650 is a good solid platform for torches. First impressions is I would definitely recommend and see no issues with the torch at all. I will carry it for a while and update if any issues occur.

Quality
The torch gives the impression of being very well made. I like the fact that it takes a replaceable18650 battery, and has built-in charging. It's compact - a lot smaller than my cheap Lepro torch - and bright enough for my needs.

Pretty impressed.
Forbid torch is pretty good. It’s really bright, it has a good combination of flood and throw. It has got all the expected modes and a very simple operation and UI. It does get hot but that’s expected, and It does have some artefacts in the beam that may put you off. This was bought as a gift for a Torch layman so I’m sure it will be fine. All in all pretty good for the money, if you just want a half decent really bright torch.

Ok I'm impressed, no make that astounded lol
I bought a Sofirn SC32 the other day and liked that as it was very similar to the IF 25A from Sofirn that I already had so I thought, hey I know what I DON'T NEED now! Yes another fantastic Sofirn torch. Bought the little SP10V3 also previously. Wasn't expecting much from this little SC18 but I liked the simple UI that is the same with the SC32 except it can do ramping which I don't use anyway. So very surprised to find this SC18 pretty much a delight from first unboxing & turn on. More of a hotspot beam than the diffuser SC32 so it should do well on throw and still has plenty of wide spill. Seems to have the same cool or neutral white as the SC32 so an SST40 at 6500k probably and it's fine with me as I don't really like those buttery warm lower light output high CRI emitters. When you shine this SC18 at a white wall then it is white unlike those mud like warm emitters that all the "experts" fawn over, only they know why. I don't really like very cool emitters either such as whatever is in my Tool AA but it is the best for reading I find and came in very handy fixing the immersion yesterday. This SC18 is not as cool as the Tool AA or the Trustfire, I think they are both Cree emitters of some kind but these Luminous SST 20 or 40's I like fine. What immediately occurs to me is that this torch is so small while still using an 18650 (Sofirn 3000mah that comes with the torch) that it really is a much better option than 14500 battery torches unless you really need a torch that can use standard AA's. eg I have an Olight i5r and Trustfire L2 and Sofirn SP10V3 and Lumintop tool AA and Nicron B74 all of which can use 14500 lithium batteries and a couple of them hit 1000 lumens but this little SC18 simply blows them away or easily puts them in the shade as far as light output goes and it is barely any larger though it is a little larger, actually smaller than the Nicron. Real compact power much more appropriate for outdoors than the smaller AA torches though they are perhaps better suited to indoors when you don't need as much light power unless your house is huge or when EDC space is very limited. I paid about £24 for this here in the UK and it seems in the US/China you can get these on offer for about $13 which is totally crazy as this little thing I got is absolute quality build which is immediately obvious when you lift it out of the box. You could order it from China and wait weeks and be stuck if it has a problem so I am happy to have paid what it is easily worth and received it the following day and have an easy return if it has any issue but it seems absolutely perfect and again I am really very impressed. It's just plain brilliant. Chines companies are really getting their products together. Get them now while still cheap.

Bright, but with a flaw
It’s bright, but operating it is a bit - confusing. One major problem with is is the button on the side - which if I put it in my bag, it will definitely get turned on by accident.

Very bright for its size
I bought it almost a year ago and I’m very pleased, it is small enough to fit in your pocket, and not so heavy. It is very bright, in turbo mode it is too bright. Battery lasts far a long time, and it changes very fast. I would recommend it, for someone who’s looking for a high class torch. Worth the money, I’m totally happy and have no regrets buying this led torch

Great value torch; Good size; Good UI
Negatives: - Pocket clip is one way and not reversible - Supplied with button top 18650. Of the two that I bought, one seems fine with flat top 18650s. The other is hit and miss (mainly miss). - Power button can be fiddly to locate by feel in the dark. Positioning the pocket clip in line with it does help. - USB-C port cover is not the easiest to re-fit snugly Positives - Great value - Nice beam pattern for general purpose use - Brighter than a lot of budget torches - Nice UI with easy access to moonlight mode being a definite positive - Compact size for an 18650 based torch, ideal for everyday carry I'd recommend this over the cheaper torches available here and elsewhere

Die Sofirn SC18 hat mich wirklich beeindruckt. Trotz ihrer kompakten Größe liefert sie eine beeindruckende Helligkeit von 1800 Lumen, die für eine Taschenlampe dieser Klasse außergewöhnlich ist. Egal ob beim nächtlichen Spaziergang, beim Suchen im Garten oder beim Lesen im Dunkeln – die Ausleuchtung ist klar, weitreichend und gleichmäßig. Besonders praktisch finde ich die 6 Helligkeitsmodi, die sich schnell und intuitiv durchschalten lassen. So hat man immer genau die Lichtstärke, die man gerade braucht. Auch die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig: robustes Gehäuse, angenehme Haptik und ein zuverlässiger Schalter. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist der USB‑C‑Anschluss, mit dem die Lampe schnell wieder aufgeladen ist. Die Akkulaufzeit ist für die Größe wirklich gut, und die Lampe wird auch bei längerer Nutzung nicht unangenehm heiß. Insgesamt eine leistungsstarke, handliche und vielseitige EDC‑Taschenlampe, die man einfach immer dabeihaben möchte. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

È una torcia piccola quasi quanto la sua batteria 18650...il suo forte raggio è un cerchio con ai lati una bella luce diffusa che si nota di più con le modalità HIGH e TURBO. La batteria è di alta qualità (così come il corpo della lanterna) e alloggia tra molla polo+ e molla polo- attenuando eventuali cadute brusche. Sta benissimo in tasca e con la sua clip può essere agganciata anche alla cintura. Mi piace molto il suo "spot beam" a lunga gittata insieme al fascio "flood" luminoso ai lati.... è anche economica quindi consigliata!💸💸
