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

Yes Sofirn is using 60 degree Yuji’s

fwiw, the McGizmo Sapphire also offers a 60 degree Yuji… we are in good company :wink:

The E01 beam is not to my liking at all, plus the tint sucks, and it has terrible CRI

the C01 beam is MUCH nicer in every way

I’d buy a titanium or titanium / brass one.

Titanium/ Copper would be good.

why make it out of Ti? doesnt have much purpose besides the cool factor right?

I think it’s harder and lighter but not very good with heat dissipating. won’t be an issue with the C01. But I don’t have money to spend on Ti. Never own one, doubt I ever will.

Sounds like the ideal woman, disguised as a flashlight.
A copper head works better, but a brass head looks better.

For titanium, there is the existing option of the McGizmo Sapphire, for the classiest of users. :face_with_monocle:

Granted, the Sapphire driver is the same as the Arc driver, which as I understand it, doesn’t perform quite as well as the E01 driver, and the price is well beyond what I’d expect users to pay for a Sofirn twisty.

But it’s a really nice looking titanium AAA twisty, available with a Yuji, driven at 25mA.

Or if you want a titanium AAA that can tail stand and has a trit slot, maybe enough interest could get Mako to restart a limited run of his AAA, which even has two modes (low and lower).

Got my C01 today. I am really impressed with the overall fit, finish, and ergos of a superbly crafted torch. Kudos to all who made it possible. The tensile springing of the clip is perfect. Didn’t break when flexing and I mean I put the GORILLA twistin’ to it.

Good for you!! :+1:

When did you order yours Streamer??

November 10

Thanks Streamer!! According to that info I have more waiting to do before mine get here. :wink:

I like the wider beam much better myself. I have two of the 5600k’s, and they are fantastic.

That does look pretty good I must admit. :+1:

I think so too. Makes me want to spark up a fat one and mellow out to some Hendrix and Zeppelin. My 3200’s should land in tomorrows mail. They are a day late based on USPS tracking.

Well, it finally arrived! Yesterday I got my first tracking update since November 23rd (ordered 8th Nov, marked as shipped on the day after) that it had landed in London! I was starting to get worried!

What a brilliant light it is, the build is fantastic; nice smooth threads and the machining is spot on. Mine is probably from the very first batch and the pocket clip is extremely solid (I can barely flex it).
The tint is very nice as you would expect, as others have mentioned it has a slight hotspot but it doesn’t bother me.

I think this light is going to live on my keychain permanently. Now its time to order a trit & magnet…

I ain’t got no news from the tracking of mine.
I’ve sent message to Sofirn (on AliExpress) that asked me to check with my post office! Not gonna happen, they will know nothing about it… :person_facepalming:

I also asked about the coloured versions and Cissy said

that I presume will be within 2-3 weeks, maybe!

I hope I can get my black ones before that… :weary:

Absolutely ! I agree. I was worried that the clip would be horrible. But my sample is perfectly done. :+1:

When were yours ordered my friend??

10th november, mate!! I guess the following day after they were released! And radio silence on tracking from 29th November on, it supposedly is in Guangzhou still… :cry:

Thanks for the info my friend, I hope you get them soon. :+1:

I ordered mine 21 November. Latest update on mine was 11 December

By the two tracking updates at the same time on the same day, I’m not sure if the package is still in China or on it’s way to Miami (USA). :smiley:

Oh yeah…… mine was actually not accepted by shipping partner until 7 December, 16 days after order was placed. :wink: . Funny how that works, since I got a “your order has shipped” email on 12 November… the day after I placed the order. :person_facepalming:

But hey, such are the joys of dealing with AliExprese…. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
