However lubing the threads and O-rings of both my Fenix E01 and Sofirn C01 does not dramatically decrease stiffness… It does make the twisting slightly smoother though.
From defloyd77:
Which shipping method did you choose? It’s kind of odd that nobody in the States has seemed to get their C01 yet, but somehow you got a light, albeit the wrong light, in 18 days. Mine’s still in China!

Here is the tracking from Aliexpress,it surprised me more than it did you.That is one reason I didn’t think the sc31 had anything to do with my sc01 order.I thought that I bought the sc31 during a flash sale then forgot about it!
I ordered 2 5600k sc01’s Sunday.As for shipping,I’m getting whatever the free shipping is.

I do not trust any photograph to show true distinctions of color between lights. Given all the compromises taken between taking the photo itself, and then transferring it to another very limited range medium, even a very slight difference can be compounded greatly.
I would find it much more trustworthy if both of the C01s had been side by side, so that the distortion caused by the much brighter other lights would have been evenly distributed. There is a reason why most photos like this one carry the disclaimer that the only valid comparison that can be made is one of intensity.
Side by side there is quite some tint variation among the 3200K Yuji leds. They are all nice and high CRI but some are rosier. The rosiest ones have slightly less CRI btw.
Yes, I ordered during 1st 300 batch (10-Nov) and they got here yesterday (3-Dec), less than 4-weeks which is above average from my previous experiences. It might have helped that I ordered several other Sofirn items at the same time
Not that it practically matters because both tints are hi-cri and serving their purpose as low-level illumination but the 5600 looks to be slightly narrower than the 3200.
Oboy. Hovering over the Track button, two lights have reached some USPS sorting system in San Francisco.
And they didn’t even get their feet wet. Ali’s Order info still thinks they’re in transit in the country of origin.
They’ll get here. The mail carrier is getting used to bolting out the front door as he reaches the mailbox.
