haha thats funny, sofirn shakes their heads why anyone would want a raw unfinished light… 
I think that the beauty of a rough and used tool does not fit in chinese culture.
Barry confirmed that low->high will be possible, he asked for what lettering it should have and I suggested C01S BLF no-ano edition, or if too long C01S BLF edition, or if too long C01S BLF Ed. Any objections or better ideas for the text?
That’s great news 
Thanks djozz!
So will there be a limit per order per person? I would buy more than one if that’s possible.
C01S BLF edition would be great imho.
How about BLF C01S?
If Sofirn insists on my shortest suggestion, BLF C01S may be better than C01S BLF Ed. . I will keep this one in mind

+1 for BLF C01S (similar to ThorFire’s “BLF Q8”) 
BTW: OP is updated i.a.w. latest news.
Wow nice count me in for the BLF edition!
BLF C01S.
I suppose it’s too late to ask for Firefly mode (FF -> Low -> High). 
It may initially look shiny, with a bit of machining texture, but will dull over time as a natural oxide layer forms.
It is not a matter of too late (production has not started yet) but if a discussion would start on which and how many modes it should have, this would be never ending and consensus never reached (as BLF history proves). It is quite a miracle already that BLF agrees pretty clearly on the mode order (low first) for a BLF C01S, but there consensus very likely stops.
Personally, and I know many others think that too, I think that a twisty flashlight should not have more than 2 modes. I adviced that to Sofirn, but also added that 3 modes could be ok too, and Sofirn still went for the 2 modes. The 3/100 lumen I think is a good choice of Sofirn because I hear both that the 3 lumen low is too low and too high.
Another argument against 3 modes could be that Barry told me that the C01S does not use PWM for the low mode, which implies I think that adding an extra mode requires a hardware change: more and different components on the driver.

Now that IS good news. I’m generally not a fan of visible PWM, and many flashlights use visible PWM on lower modes.
This sounds like it’s going to be a awesome light. Why is it going to be such a limited run (i think someone said 200 pcs). Since this is better than the normal version because of LH and no-ano cool factor. Wouldn’t like 500 pcs sell or even just another item thats not limited. In my oppinion this could be the BLF A6 of aaa lights. I want to buy 3 or 4 of them depending on the price, 2 for me, 1 for my lil bro and possibly 1 for someone else.
C01S BLF / Raw Edition

BLF C01S / ’Raw’
I gave up on getting anything ordered through AliExpress, and ordered one from Bang good. It costs five dollars more than the price I should have gotten it for an Aliexpress, but at least I will have one.
Is trying to achieve 4000k the only reason for the emmiter change?
This is a different light than the C01. The C01 was a single mode, low powered light, the C01S is a high powered 2 mode light. You cannot get 100 lumens out of a single Yuji 5MM LED.
Gotcha. What is the output of the Yuji model?
6-8 lumens depending on the color temperature.
Output 3200K C01 ~5lm
Output 5600K C01 ~7lm
