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

Now only 4 blue and 2 red left, who will get the last few of these? I wonder how long they were for sale (and how many were available to start).

I think what is slowing the sale down is most, make that many; people possibly want the 5600K in Blue & the 3200K in Red. Or at least the choice of both CCT’s in both colors.

Easy to remember, red heads 5600k and blue heads 3200k

I have been seeing how long folks have been waiting for the black ones and just figured when the color was available I would pull the trigger. I would definitely prefer the other way also, but at least its not black. And they are color coded already.

Yeah… I went ahead & “pulled the trigger” too. I already have some black ones so I am gonna mix some of the colors up when I get these. :wink:

Wait. Is it true, no Paypal for Canada?

Hello BLF !

Nice to see that the color ones are available eventually !

I received my two black ones (one of each) a few days ago and noticed that the two had some kind of hot spot and the 3200K one had an iridescent halo around that hot spot, not very bright but i am very sensitive to that kind of thing and found it ennoying when reading in bed with the torch.

I might have missed some previous posts (busy vacations !) about that but i blackened the upper half part of the "reflector" with a permanent marker and the hot spot is gone along with the halo !

weird that they made the warm ones blue and the cooler one red. I thought the point of making them colored is to discern them better.

I will pass on the red/blue ones I guess. I am waiting for my black ones I ordered on the first day the 2nd batch was available. From all chinese sites I ordered something from in November, this the only thing that has not arrived yet. Do they even ship this or is someone transporting these in a pushcart?

Patiently waiting…

From what i see the 4 combinations are in stock so you nothing prevents you from ordering red 3200K and blue 5600K (or the opposite)

When I click on the link in the first post only black is listed… anyway, I just wait some more for my two black ones. :weary:

Color ones link

now it works … :+1: anyone else also noticed the discount by paying with paypal …(if possible) … ?

I was just on the site, and was able to order a warm red and a neutral blue. The site said limited quantities for both colors.

Anybody got the price for their red/blue order adjusted to the group-buy price yet ?

I sent the request yesterday noon and nothing happened so far.

@ Sigster… Same here, nothing yet. Remember the time difference & other stuff they have on their plate also.
It will happen…. :slight_smile::+1:

Still waiting for the price adjustment. But it seems the light will be sold out until then. So be it!
I thought this should be a Group Buy. Sofirn will be happy anyway because the people are buying though they have to pay the regular price.

Yes, it has changed again. The price has dropped to 7.99 (I paid 8.88), and there is one blue 5600K available, but no red 3200 available. I forgot about trying to get the group deal price, but I had a $1 off coupon and a $3 off coupon, so the price was basically the same as the group buy price anyway.

Still hoping I can just switch out the electronics and get the colors swapped, but guessing the potting will prevent that from happening.

@Gunga, no Paypal in Canada.

I actually prefer this though. Credit cards only take 2% rather than 5% Paypal takes.

Snagged up the last blue 5600K.

Little tip, one gets a slightly lower price on Ali’s app. There’s also a 3 dollaroff coupon offer for new customers……….

Good work coming up with a way to eliminate the beam artifact. A couple others have tried the same thing upthread. There seems to be variation between samples whether there is a hotspot or other artifact, and to what degree, and it sounds like the 3200K is more likely to have it.

Their plan has been to make equal numbers of each color in each tint. There should be a total of 250 pieces of each in red and 150 pieces of each in blue being made. I assume they had all of them anodized in one batch, but we’ll see them trickle onto the store in small numbers as they get the lights assembled. The black version was the same way.
