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

[hyperduc]

I would like to order one of each tint. I see there are some issues with weak pocket clips.
Is there a good aftermarket clip I can buy separately that fits the light?
Or is there expected to be a new batch rolled in soon that addresses the issues? I don’t want to be too demanding for $6.

I received my light yesterday, delivered to Florida. Ordered on November 10 and delivered on December 15, so 35 days. Just passing along this info for those still waiting on delivery in the US.

Thanks, still waiting on mine ordered at the same time. Did your tracking update at all?

Anyone tried runtime on lithium yet?

Won’t it completely burn? I’m still waiting for my 2 lights

Lithium ≠ Li-Ion.

Lithium primary batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium L92) are completely fine to use, Li-Ion on the other hand should not be use in the C01 (bad things will happen if you do).

Thanks Noir.

I am :person_facepalming: !
When I read Lithium my brain processed Li-Ion, so my bad :zipper_mouth_face:

Despite that, my lights still are somewhere in a wharehouse in China or in freakin’ slow boat in the ocean

Never fear MascaratumB, they will be there soon; he’s rowing fast as he can…

[MascaratumB]

Well, I hope he brings some AAA batteries, at least he’ll be able to do a “test-row” to my lights

Yep, we’re neighbors. :+1: . I ordered 22 November & got a ‘6 January extension email’ today also. I’m betting we will both have them before Christmas or shortly thereafter.
Time will tell if that prediction is correct or not.

Gave you code for nitecore ea45s.
Mine a favorite. The new version is 1800 lumens but must be real floody cause the throw is less.

[pinecone]

Looking forward to receiving this light, hopefully by the end of this year. I signed up for USPS email notifications since I was tired of checking on my USPS bookmark

Oh yeah, I remember now that you mentioned it!! I feel the same way, the EA45S is a great light. In fact, if I was forced to choose 1 light…. I think the EA45S would be it.

I did not realize there was a “new version”…. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Did you know Sofirn is going to
make a C01 Pro with 100 lumens?

Yep, EA42…. you thought right. :+1:
It looks interesting, but it will have to be extraordinary to top the EA45S…. even if it does have 1800 lumens.

Nitecore EA42

How do you know and which led are they gone use?

[djozz]

I do not know how he knows, well, actually Sofirn folks tend to talk all the time about their new projects
But yes, there will be a C01 pro, but it may get a different name in the end. No idea if it will get a TIR optic or a reflector, but the led will very probably be SST-20 95CRI (4000K and/or 3000K), and there will be two or three simple modes (it being a twisty). I have not seen a design yet so I would not expect this light within the next few months.
