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

It appears to me TIR’s tend to be less prone to tint shift across the beam than reflectors, which makes off-tint less obvious.

It also is usually much less obvious when shining the light across colored objects than mostly grey or white objects.

Also, some of us are simply less sensitive to green tint than others.

Overall, I think the green should be thought of as a compromise of limited severity. For some it will be a dealbreaker, but there should be plenty of people who are fine with it.

I hope sofirn can find a good led as replacement.

Yes I own a Convoy S2+ with the said emitter and I love it more than my 4000k BLF A6. To clarify, it’s not that I’m hating on the emitter. I was just wondering that with the number of times I read a post connected to the SST-20 someone comments on the ugly green tint. Thought might be missing out on something like a different tint. Thanks for the response djozz!

I hate the green in lights. Blue I can handle but green makes me put the light in a drawer. In this light I see no green whatsoever, I have used it for a while now as a backup on my keys, even though it’s a backup I use it a lot as my keys are generally easier to grab than the light in my belt holster.

I love c01s, the color and tint is perfect, no greenish crap.

The current at high mode is 2.2A, and at low modde is 0.022A, so that is 100 times difference. I wish it has “middle” mode at around 30 lumen(0.2A), then it would be a perfect keychain light

Are you sure you are getting 2,2A?

At 2,2A on high mode, you’d kill the AAA in less than 25 min.

i double checked it, yup, it runs 2.2A and 0.022A

Nice meter :slight_smile:

It can do RMS current even at the high frequency that boost driver might be running?

I did not read through the entire thread, but I saw the light is advertised 100 lumens for well over an hour on a AAA battery. I don’t personally believe that, curious if anyone has tested it? I see above someone measured 2.3A on high, definitely not getting over an hour, even with a lithium primary. Is the 100 lumens accurate?

No, never over an hour runtime. It puts out 90 lumen of high CRI which requires almost 400mA through the led, so that little boost driver is doing its best, 2.3A sounds a bit high (on the full battery I assume) but that must be a not so efficient driver then. Must be 20 minutes, anyone doing an actual runtime test? (maybe me but not this week).

The BLF C01S silver color is available now :laughing:

I just bought 3 of them :wink:
Thank you!

Gone just when I logged into AE :weary:

I just logged into AE and can see: (92 pieces available)

Ah, wrong language/currency. Again, I felt for it. Thanks.

bought a few, they look good :slight_smile:

I’m going to get in trouble, but I’ll be getting one :3

Any discounts available for this?
