Yes, good choice. Have both Sp35 for buck driver and sc21 cause better than pro

I’m conflicted, as someone who considered the SP35 at some point.
It has a SST40, with a smooth reflector for throw but small head, so not much throw anyways (it’ll have a hotspot though), it would probably be better if it had a SFT40 emitter. But on the other end, it has a buck driver, so there’s that.
For 5 extra € you can get a Wurkkos TD01C, with both a buck driver and the SFT40 emitter, plus a wide head for an amazing throw (like, three times the range of the SP35). For that same 5€ extra you can get a Sofirn SC33, one of my favourites. Very powerful, good runtimes, high CRI, same 21700 battery, if you prefer something more floody than throwy.
In regards to the SC21, I don’t have any 16340 light yet, but I see the appeal of it. It is very cheap, high CRI, very small, and decent runtimes for something that powerful and that size. This one looks like a good purchase to me.
Back to the SP35, what was your appeal to it? What would you use it for? It’s not a *bad* light, but for that price you can get better alternatives, depending on the purpose.
EDIT: I had to go look for runtime charts on the SP35 from third party websites, but it seems decent, about on par with, say, a Wurkkos TS22 at the same price, but the TS22 is high CRI, and also no buck driver.
