[Available again! - BLF special edition light] new Sofirn AAA twisty high CRI 5mm LED

It has been an interest list to assure Sofirn there is demand for this light, and possibly to assist with the group buy. I don’t know if they are checking for usernames on the list before adjusting the price or not, but I do have you on the list.

The last update I saw on the potting seemed to indicate Sofirn still intended to include it, and the gooey potting in djozz’s test sample might just be slow curing.

At least the site let you use pay-pal. Iv’e tried everything. Changing web browsers,making sure address is correct including country but pay-pal option just won’t come up. What a mickey mouse website.

thank you, so these lights on order at Ali should be potted or would that be the group buy ones?.
thanks from London.

Here’s that link.

I can’t get the address pulldown menu for region (USA) to show anything, so can’t get orders to complete.
Maddening.

I’m in the same boat, Sofirn even adjusted price but I just cannot pay

Just one idea to try: If you have an ad blocker, try disabling that and refreshing the page. Sometimes ad blockers mistakenly stop legitimate 3rd party content.

I can’t 100% confirm at this time, but my understanding is all the lights will be potted, and all (including for group buy participants) will be through the Sofirn Ali Express site.

I will try to get some of this information summarized on the post for the group buy list, after I finish updating it.

So while we’re waiting for Ali to function, may I digress?

Is anyone selling these Yuji high-CRI emitters on 20mm copper boards for us swap-and-drop-in modders?
pointer please to any discussion elsewhere. Sorry for the off-topic interruption.

Four browsers on two devices on being an iPad, Paypal just not showing.

These are through hole LEDs, not normally mounted on copper boards.

Yuji apparently makes other LEDs. Here’s a maniacal guy showing a great big Yji emitter:

Here’s a variety of sizes and shapes

EDIT ah, here’s what I was thinking of:

Whew! List is updated. That was a lot of new interest! We’re over 1000 lights now!

I slightly changed the format of the list to make it easier to read.

As before, note that I am not tracking anodizing color preferences, but you are welcome to specify desired colors in your post in case Sofirn checks the thread to help themselves decide how many of each to make.

Shortcut to the current list

The above changes are included in the update. Thanks!

Nope, not too late. Just in case Sofirn is checking the list before adjusting prices, I’ve added you for 1 and can update if requested.

Actually already had you at post 297 for 2 x 3200K and 1 x 5600K.

Also go you at post 1323.

I’ve added you to the list in case it is still possible for you to get a discount.

Also added you. Not sure if you realized you hadn’t joined the list yet. Enjoy the lights jon!

You are now. :wink:

Ordered.
Thanks to all…! :+1:

Same here. :money_mouth_face:

As far as I know the driver/led cavities are potted.

When I confronted Barry with the gooey in my samples a few weeks ago, he was first quite shocked, then he went talking with the Sofirn engineers, then he assured that it was a very slow curing stuff that may take months to cure, then I showed a lot of doubt about that and suggested to look at two-component solutions, then he talked again with the engineers, then he told me not to worry and that the potting would be alright and that was the last I heard about the subject.

In the meantime, the gooey in my samples seemed to be hardened a bit more but still far from fully cured, and I do not know if they put the same stuff in the production lights and if it really will be hard and functional eventually.

In the meantime II, my and Sofirns torture tests of the sample lights have shown that even without functional potting the C01 can withstand quite extreme abuse while still staying fully functional.

That’s all I know about the status of the potting of the C01

OK Folks, HERE is the trick to the BLF pricing ….

Put items in your cart
Select ‘’View cart’
Select ‘buy from this seller’
Enter BLF ID in the message to seller box
Choose Paypal
At Paypal login, do* NOT log in - bottom left of page … click ‘cancel and return to merchant’

THIS triggers an order ID# to Sofirn, which will lead to your price adjustment

The frosting they put in there instead of potting is putting me off a bit.

Can anyone tell me what page in this thread shows runtime results please?

Probably I missed.
Can you share a link with a magnet and a tritium that fits?

whats frosting?
