I got pretty worried for a minute that I told everybody wrong. The instructions for the H35R don't mention a lockout feature. Mine all have it, though. 4 clicks to lock/unlock. I thought maybe they had removed it since I bought mine. I emailed them about it and got this response.



The user manual will say that you can lock it by unscrewing the battery cap. That works, but it also has a software lock that isn't mentioned.

$14.99 from the Sofirn site if you don't mind it taking 2 weeks to deliver.


Thanks again. Ordered 3 on 7/30, delivered 8/2. Initial impression is that these are well worth the $.

Main Differences Explained
Brightness & Power:
The Sofirn H35R delivers up to 1,500 lumens on Turbo mode, driven by a 3-LED array and FET driver. By comparison, the Sofirn H25LR maxes out at 500 lumens.

LED Setup:
The H25LR uses a single white LED paired with a single 660nm deep red LED. The H35R expands this to three white SST20 LEDs and two 660nm red LEDs, giving it a wider, brighter beam spread for both white and red channels.

Color Quality vs. Raw Brightness:
The H25LR utilizes a High-CRI (90 CRI) white LED, making colors appear more natural and true-to-life under close inspection. The H35R prioritizes maximum output and beam distance over high CRI.

Modes & Levels:
The H35R includes 5 stepped brightness levels (including Turbo), whereas the H25LR offers 4 levels.

Which One Should You Choose?
Choose the Sofirn H25LR if: You prioritize natural color accuracy (High CRI), close-range tasks, reading, or lower-output activities where 500 lumens is plenty and battery efficiency at lower levels matters most.

Choose the Sofirn H35R if: You need maximum brightness for open trail navigation, outdoor activities, or search tasks where a 1,500-lumen burst and multi-LED floodlight are beneficial.

Did you get a tracking number? They're usually pretty slow to ship. I was surprised others were getting them that quick.

Got mine in the mail couple of nights back and used it hog hunting last night. Seems to be a great light. Thanks for the tip Loup!

Might be a dumb question but mine didn’t come with instructions and I can’t figure it out. How do I toggle between the different light settings?
