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

Yep, that’s what I (and I assume a lot of others) are doing. I’d like my 3200k in red!

I might even buy a third… or a fourth…. Or a fifth… :wink: Okay maybe that’s a bit excessive. I really like this light and don’t anticipate many alternatives coming out in the near future

While I wait can someone compare the size to a light I have astrolux ao1 or olight i3eeos?

Dont you have a Fenix E01?
They are the same.

Anyway, your wish is my Xmas present for you :slight_smile:

Merry Xmas! :wink:

This image is a good comparison. It includes the Olight I3e EOS, the Astrolux A01, and the Fenix E05.

The Sofirn C01 is the same diameter and about 7mm (just over 1/4 inch) longer than the Fenix E05. That puts it roughly in between the Olight and Astrolux in size.

  • Edit - nevermind, jon_slider already provided a real comparison. Thanks!

Boas bidas :wink:
I guess we’re still in transit :weary: 11/11, greve dos estivadores and all that stuff… :person_facepalming:

Teacher I am also sorry for you and for all the people that didn’t receive theirs, yet !
Hope you can get it as soon as possible!

djozz, those are nice looking coloured versions! Hope they can release them soon, before Chinese New Year :smiley:

BLF !!! Merry Christmas :wink: Happy Holidays :slight_smile: Or just…be happy !!

May the light be with you :sunglasses:

Thank you mate, but I’m not complaining; I did not order mine until 21 November. Mine are in the USA at least & making their way to me. :+1:

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you also my friend!! :beer:

No Fenix and thanks.

you are lucky to have skipped the Fenix :slight_smile:

for your entertainment, a song about slow chinese boats:

Honey, I’d love to get you on a slow boat to China, all to myself, alone.

Great song on this Christmas Eve J_slider, made me think of my long past Dad
.
So, I’ll just reiterate on the C01….really fine crafting and an apparently bomb proof design eclipsing the Iconic Fenix E01. :+1:

Ha. Mine arrived in mississippi. clip seems strong. Will take on my walk tonight.

Excellent!! A nice Christmas Eve gift for you…… :+1:

5600k works for walks of held close to path. Not so well clipped to cap. The diameter of beam not wider than other lights. Thought 60 degree might be really wide.

/\ … Thanks for the feed back. Looking forward to getting mine. :+1:

Just the opposite since a good amount of the LED is surrounded by a reflector so more light is altered than a narrower Nichia GS like in the E01 would be. Now if you compared the bare LEDs, the 60 degree Yuji would be wider.

I agree, the Yuji has about a 3’ maximum working range and works well indoors as a hatlamp to illuminate things in my hands, and while sitting at a table.

It will only illuminate one step in from of my feet if I hold the light pointed down with my arm hanging at my side.

I dont consider it an outdoor light, and I was surprised that you tried to use it for a nightwalk.

These are floody beams, and less than 10 lumens, with almost no hotspot. They work really well to illuminate things 10 inches away, and the lack of hotspot means the illumination is even and has no glare or overexposed hotspot when taking close up photos, for example.

For outdoor use, I need a light with a hotspot, and more lumens. The C01 works great inside a car, where a hotspot is less useful imo. And the C01 works great inside my house, when I wake to use the bathroom, in fact it is brighter than necessary, when I wake up in the dark. But its essentially useless during the day, or in situations with strong ambient light, beyond about 6” away.

The C01 is useful for reading labels on packages at the grocery store, if I hold the light about 2-4” away. And is also good for senior citizens like myself to read a menu in a restaurant, without blinding the other people at the table, because the beam circle is nice and small, about 3” diameter, when the light is held within a couple of inches of the menu.

The C01 a good close up light, for looking for something inside a bag, pack, purse, cabinet, box. :slight_smile:

The Yuji LED is not a thrower. The Fenix throws more, but it is low CRI, and has a small, odd shaped, purple hotspot…

Take all my new lights for night walks. Seems to light things up in dark room better than in outdoors.
