Just got my C01S today. Ordered it March 14th and it came today. Really nice tint, right in my personal sweet spot for CCT. I already have glued my magnet in, and am still debating whether or not to order some trits. Right now I donāt see the need, since the way I am using the lights having a trit would just be window dressing. But this is definitely going to be my back up EDC light.
A potentially cheaper alternative to tritium is to fill the slot with glow-in the dark material. Obviously that dims away over a couple of hours, but still helps you locate the light for at least a little while.
Flashaholics, itās interesting how little light you can get by with once you try, isnāt it.
The nightlight idea is interesting. 5+ times the runtime with. I know a user on another forum requested a custom Fenix E01 from Vinh with a Yuji and a resistor mod that dropped the output to 2 lumens.
For a couple years I EDCed a Streamlight Protac EMS. A nice little single AA light. It had like 3,10, and 50 lumens as output. I found that the 50 lumens was more than enough for everyday use, and the medium setting was great for looking under bottom shelves and the odd far corner of the walk-in fridge and freezer, both of which only had one light, mounted on the front wall at top of the door height. Made it a little hard to see what was down lower in the opposite corner.
Just hope our members understand before they make the order that these will look āPre-Beatā kind of like new worn jeans that they charge more for.
Maybe they could sell different levels of wear
Thanks for the update, I am eagerly awaiting these- I plan on getting a bunch. Regardless of what the lumen levels are rated at, I find the 2 levels to be perfect for use.
Yeah, I personally donāt care about the raw aspect of them (I honestly wouldnāt mind them being anodized), but the 2-mode Low-High operation sounds great.
