IF22A IF22A
A compact pocket thrower that reaches impressively far for its size. The Sofirn IF22A uses a Luminus SFT40 LED with a TIR optic to throw a focused beam over 680 meters from a light that fits comfortably in your hand. The beam is pencil-tight at distance with enough spill for close-range navigation. USB-C rechargeable with power bank functionality to charge your phone in a pinch. At around $30, this is the go-to recommendation for anyone asking "what's the farthest-reaching flashlight I can get for cheap?"
