Sofirn C01S SST-20 4.000K 95CRI / Low-High version available again!

I’ll probably get these on the BLF Edition! :wink:

Yeah, I personally don’t care about the raw aspect of them (I honestly wouldn’t mind them being anodized), but the 2-mode Low-High operation sounds great.

I agree.

I can’t say how beautiful they are. You are really good at photographing!

I learned an interesting fact to that I haven’t seen mentioned yet in the discussions on the C01s or the original C01. I used rare earth 5mm x 3mm magnets in both sets of lights. They stick just fine to the side of my (smooth) computer case. I happened to bump one of the today and it fell off. No surprise. But when I went to stick it to the side of the case again, it wouldn’t stay. It turns out that for it to stay horizontal on the side of my case, the magnet must be at the twelve o’clock position, so the weight of the light is pressing the rest of the base against the case. If the magnet is at any other position, the weight is sufficient enough to pull the light away from the case, overcoming the power of the magnetic attraction. It’s always the little things.

Yup, I could see that. Some magnets are stronger than others, too. Out of curiosity, where did you get your magnets? I’m still thinking about getting some.

banggood.

can this take a 10440 battery?

No. It’ll burn the driver.

The C01 certainly not, the C01S no one has tried it. Three options:
*works fine
*works fine but something is damaged so that alkalines and NiMh’s stop working
*the driver fries

Interested in BLF Edition… probably several.

Thanks

I've got also mine :)

and here in comparison with small Astrolux with Nichia emitter:

Nice tint, small size. It would be nice if it has a memory.

Update: Sofirn finished the BLF edition but the mode order was not changed to low-high :person_facepalming:
They have to remove the drivers to fix that but are afraid that the drivers may end up somewhat loose.
I guess that it is fixable with some glue if that happens so that is how it will be then :neutral_face:

Bedankt voor de update Jos! Ik zal de thread updaten. :wink:

I guess I’ll skip it. High - low is a no go to me.

No High-Lo for me either

Some confusing posts above. The idea is that Sofirn will reflash the drivers so that the UI starts with low, as was planned for the BLF edition. The consequence may be that the drivers, having been removed and assembled again, may end up a bit loose. I thought that was a better option than leave the UI the wrong way around.

Is it clear now?

Sorry, thanks, loose driver is not a problem

Low-High is more important for me. Loose driver as long as it doesn’t affect reliability is ok. If they have to glue the driver, it’s not a problem for me. I plan on getting 3-4 of these.

Yes.

This is the light that should’ve a glued driver.
