8000-lumen quad SST40 soda-can with Anduril 2.0, 450m throw, and 3×18650 — the legendary BLF classic
The Sofirn SP36 Pro is a legend in the flashlight community. Born from a BudgetLightForum collaboration, it runs Anduril 2.0 firmware on four SST40 emitters to deliver 8000 lumens with 450 meters of throw from a soda-can form factor running three 18650 cells.
Anduril 2.0 gives you complete control over every aspect of the light's behavior — smooth ramping, stepped modes, thermal calibration, beacon, lightning storm, and more. The triple 18650 configuration provides massive energy storage for sustained high-output use.
At $40, the SP36 Pro delivers output and configurability that competing brands charge $100+ for. The soda-can form factor means it lives in a bag or jacket pocket rather than a pants pocket, but for camping, power outages, and general outdoor use, it's one of the best values in the entire flashlight market. A true community classic.
