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

Got mine today!! Nice lights, but I think I like anodized more. I would love this light in copper, brass, or while we’re at it… why not bronze? I never hear about bronze lights.

I’m kinda surprised no one has mentioned titanium yet :heart_eyes:

Did I heard the C01S works with li-ion cells too?

May someone confirm?

Or silver.

Nah.

Silver has a tendency to tarnish, and removing that tarnish is quite hard for most people.

Copper is super easy.

Also, while a copper plated light would cost 20$US in rather small quantities with a thick copper layer, a silver one would have a much thinner layer for say 25$US.

Don’t think of it as tarnish. Think of it as patina.

Patina alright :person_facepalming:

I’m a big fan of copper, even though it’s heavy, brass too. I like the way they age (patina :sunglasses: ), and bronze would too.
I’m still pretty new to “the life” but do wonder why I haven’t seen any bronze lights.
If we’re plating…why not rhodium?

Is Sofirn set up to make these out of titanium? I’m guessing that will inform the answer to my next question. How much more would they cost?

I’d be interested in clear anodized, or copper/brass- electroplated or not.

Only now I noticed that “BLF-Edition sold out” :frowning: :cry:

If you are going to go the special metals route, I would suggest more than 2 modes. I like CU, but would not purchase for the premium for a 2 mode light.

I’m happy with simplicity. As I said, I’d love to see the original C01 in Ti. I’m flexible depending on the light but I normally don’t want more than three modes to cycle through. I prefer the modes to start low and I’ve come to appreciate not having mode memory. (There is a great thread on disliked or unwanted features over on CPF right now.) I prefer brass to Cu but I’ve also come to appreciate the lighter weight of Ti.

With all of these options and opinions being thrown around regarding finishes and materials, it seems like (1) we need to know what material & finishes Sofirn can reasonable accommodate, and then (2) maybe set up a poll to help determine those that are in highest demand (something like “pick your top 3 of these 10 options”).

I know right. This sums up a lot better than my flip answer earlier. Lots of ideas but they can’t all happen I’m sure. So many ones missed out on the first batch, that if all we get is another run just like it, that would be very popular. If we want to go beyond that, then take a poll and let the majority win.

With all this interest on the forum Sofirn really should make more than just 200 of whatever material/finish is decided upon.

weird only 200 lights were made when demand is bigger… but ok hopefully they make more this time and in more finishes, brass copper, titanium bla bla….

I would love to see an L-M-H option. 5-25-100 lumens and no memory would be perfect for me. Unfortunately, not having that middle mode is a deal breaker for me, or I’d have a couple of C01S already :slight_smile:

I actually prefer two modes to three on a keychain light for the sake of simplicity, but I’m thinking that 100 lumens will be bit too bright for a AAA to handle for very long. I ordered one anyway though, so I’ll find out soon.

The two modes we have are really nice. You will be happy.

Mine finally came in today…. very pleased
