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

12 hours later… sold out again? this seriously sucks.

is it possible to set a pre-order for when it is back in stock somehow?

I think that the release of this new Sofirn light in this busy sale period is seriously affecting production capability. And I remember Barry telling me last month that for the 11-11 sale Sofirn had to produce old models and that it was holding up the production of new models. This is very chinese: they give priority to products that they have an idea of how well they sell over new models that have not proven themselves yet, however promising they seem. This is still true while Sofirn is way less conservative than other chinese budget flashlight manufacturers.

ok… but something is weird… I always get to the dutch ali express when I click on the link in post#1. When I set the page back to english there is no way to find the product on aliexpress with the search bar. are out of stock items not searchable?

also it still says 151 orders. so if there was a second batch available yesterday evening, why are the new orders not shown?

As soon as the C01 was out of stock, I could also only get the page via the link in this thread. Maybe their new stock was not ready after all and just the old page (that they did not link anymore via the Sofirn store) became active again for some reason.

If someone can change the OP link to this one it's the "general" shop instead of NL one

That “someone” is only slowtechstef. He’s around a bit more often now so the OP is updated more regularly too. :slight_smile:

This link in the first message goes straight to sofirn’s store on the global Ali in english :

Tally-ho, thanks for the help and heads up when these became available

fwiw, that link gave me a German version of the page, until I deleted my history (others call that clearing the cache).

The link now loads a page correctly, for me, in English…

Hello, i would like 2 Qty of the 3200K, and 2 Qty of the 5600K. THANKS !

One of mine is ordered (wouldn’t let me order two for some reason) and I briefly chatted with the Sofirn person, asking when the blue and red were ready. They said ten days. Hope this helps.

Nice :) i am waiting for the color ones

Thanks, that’s what I’ve been waiting to hear about

Sorry if I’m super late, but I’m interested in 1 in 5600k tint.

Hi folks, welcome to BLF!
Please know that the bought of these flashlights is already being done through Sofirn Official AliExpress store.
The list of interested people, despite important, was mostly to have a notion of how many lights would be produced.

They are on sale now! Please see post #1, or the last pages/posts on this thread and you will find the link for the store! You can buy them directly!

Please note, as well, that the batches are arriving partially, Sofirn is producing them not all at once, so if they are out of stock, wait some days and keep checking the availability!

I hope this helps :wink:

Ooops, I didn’t realize that. I appreciate the clarification! Speaking of, a 3200k just came in stock and I just got it :P!

@Kavin, well, the wait now begins :slight_smile:

Black 5600k spotted and avaliable now. Not sure about quantity…:slight_smile:

Added: Disregard post. Only 1pc. Sorry. Taken…:slight_smile:

40 units available

Yes, can confirm… both tints are still avaliable.

And now there is 54 and 52 pieces available respectively. Looks like they come and go.
I previously thought maybe those couple dozen or so pieces were order cancellations from the previous batch but now it looks more like they’re just putting them up for sale as they come from the factory.

So like others have said previously, if they are out of stock just keep checking periodically.

Also my two pieces have been sent.

P.S. Has Sofirn said anything about the discount, whether or not you can get it if you order more? I won’t be ordering more at this moment because I’m on the list for two pieces, you know, I want to give other people a chance to buy what they promised to buy. But if there’s still stock around mid-December or so I’m gonna order a few more, with discount or not. Hopefully I receive the ones I ordered before that (not holding my breath) so I could decide if I truly want more.
