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.
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.
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
