2000-lumen Anduril 2.0 EDC with SST40 emitter, magnetic tail, and diffuser — the community's favorite budget light
The Sofirn SC31 Pro is arguably the most recommended budget flashlight in the entire enthusiast community. Running Anduril 2.0 firmware on an SST40 emitter, it delivers 2000 lumens with 200 meters of throw from a compact 117mm body weighing just 57 grams without the battery.
Anduril 2.0 is the real draw here — it gives you full control over ramping, shortcuts, thermal limits, and advanced features that most budget lights can't touch. The magnetic tailcap and included diffuser add practical versatility, turning it into a work light or lantern when needed.
At under $28, the SC31 Pro is the light that flashlight communities around the world point beginners to. It's the gateway drug into the hobby — once you experience Anduril and proper output at this price, there's no going back to hardware-store flashlights.
