Soits really solid feeling very heavy. I like the switch reasonably intuitive. Used it on a plumbing job today and found its weakness. The magnet could be way stronger I think because of how heavy it is its not corner bead or plumbers strap self holding worthy. With a coupon a solid buy for sure 👍
Thanks for the excellent comparison, PPH! The more I look at them the more I prefer the IF23. Larger battery, larger output, powerbank mode, smooth ramping, shorter body and all the same features except for the 'waterfall' and 'droplet' modes which are nice but not that necessary. The newer IF24 Pro got me thinking for a second but even that does not seem to be on par with the IF23 in my eyes. Again, thnaks for sharing man. 🤜🤛 Zs
Thank you and thanks for the feedback. I agree. I’d like to see the IF23 updated with all the RGB LED features the new IF24 has. I could have done a better job of illustrating the mode changes in the IF23 video I did (making it look less complicated) Thanks for watching! 👍
I’ve been looking for a light like this to attach to my backpack strap, and this is the first time I’ve heard of this brand. Thanks for reviewing it! 👍
Yes and I should have underscored that in the video. The IF24 has a more focused beam though. I think that’s because it has a TIR lens. Thanks for watching!
Looks like a simultaneous upgrade and downgrade. The UI and side panel seem like pure upgrades. Less so the case with the weaker and cooler light with less flood, the shorter runtimes, no powerbank, worse clip, lower IP rating.
Thanks this is what I was looking for.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching! Ok 👍
They just released an IF24 Pro, too. SFT40 (more throw than the SST40 in the original) main emitter with a Buck driver.
Is that the IF24S?
@@projectpinehillsseems to not have made it to Amazon yet. Available on Sofirn's website
Niceee, the best comparison video so far
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I just ordered the IF23 two days ago I should be getting it soon 😁😁
Good deal. It’s a handle all around light. Great as a magnetic area light. Thanks for watching!
Very good updates I never got the original because the UI was a mess
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to see this new UI helped. Thanks for watching!
Looks good enough to try I'll let you know tommrow when it comes in 👍
Good deal. Sofirn is interested in your feedback. Thanks for watching!
Are you "one of us!" Or did the company message you lol (robot voice)

putty knife to hold both side by side with the magnetic end....genius bro, great video!
Thanks for watching!

@@projectpinehillsYou did an excellent job in both cases 👍👊

Thanks, it’s a great light at a good price. Thanks for watching!
If I’m reading specs correctly the IF23 has a higher output turbo (4000 lumen) - is this true?
Yes and I should have underscored that in the video. The IF24 has a more focused beam though. I think that’s because it has a TIR lens. Thanks for watching!
Does it have ramp up and down? Like those side LED automatic cycling wish they made a 18640 version of it for edc.
Yes, the flashlight does ramp up and down the brightness if you hold the center switch down. Thanks for watching!
No candle light simulation mode?
Yeah, great question. Thanks for watching!
new if24 is half the lumens of the if23 ? (2000 vs 4000)
That’s right, half the lumens on the highest setting.
23 is way better I agree
Need 21700 version for IF24!
I can see that. Thanks for watching! 👍
No Knight Rider Mode? Why?
Good question, no idea…
Get the IF24 Pro, even better. 😉
I’m getting it! Thanks for watching!
I’m gonna stick with the 23 I would rather have an emergency phone charger than some extra disco lights
Yeah that’s a bit benefit. Thanks for watching!
I agree matey 23 wins overtime
@ste-c1218 I agree, it would be nice if the 23 auto changed color LEDs. Thanks for watching!
I just ordered a 23 👍👍
sofirn makes some great lights at budget prices 👍🏻
Definitely a good value! Thanks for watching! 👍
The color LED mode is a waste. Why would I want a purple or RGB color changing mode like a gaming mouse?
I think it was just easy to add and something fun for the kids.
Because they look cool? 🤷♂️
Who cares what you want?
For photographers, it's worth it
It’s also nice for mood while camping in tent or outside at night. I love it and dig the innovation.

I’d like to see the IIF23 with the updated RGB. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
