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.
I use Norland Optical Adhesive 61. It is expensive and there are others that have been recommended. If you get Your trits from Mixglo you can get a small bottle of it there. You won’t need much. Sets up with UV.
Can also be found on ebay
If you smoke or have smoking friends, look at the Gizeh rolling paper for tobacco. The package has a small magnet that fits perfectly for c01/c01s. I glued two together and they nicely fill the magnet hole and hold the light.
Else these magnets cost like 1 to 2 cents, but you usually have to order a boatload of these.
If they made more of the original C01 with Yuji in 3200K, in any finish, I’m sure people would buy them. (The cooler temp version hung around longer on eBay.) I think a lot of the suggestions so far would sell. I’m sure a poll wouldn’t hurt. Sofirn gets a bunch of free market research and instant cred in the community.
I’m only one guy but consider this. I never owned a Sofirn before the C01 was made for us here. It was fairly unique and I respected that they made it for us, so I bought one. I loved it! So I bought a few more. When the color-anodized versions came out, I tried to buy a few of those. (Sadly, they disappeared into shipping limbo en route from China.) When the BLF version of the C01S came out, I ordered a few of those. That’s at least ten successful sales. I’ve given a few away and I’ve given Sofirn strong recommendations to people elsewhere in the EDC/gear community.
Dag. Well, I’m open to new things. Hopefully, the industry will come out with some new LEDs that achieve legendary status like the now past Nichia 219B. Sofirn or other makers will make awesome flashlights with them. We’ll all buy a bunch!
