No matter if you're in Antarctica or Australia...Sofirn's C01S is always a hot item to take with you. :-D

I’m sure it’s here somewhere but can someone link me to cheapest place to find the magnet?
What did you use to glue the tritium vials? thanks in advance!
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
Mine finally came in today…. very pleased
Sweet! I plan to do the magnet/tritium setup sometime soon. How well does your magnet hold to a metal surface? Wish I had gotten three when I ordered.
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.

Not as strong as I would like but adequate…

That is a very cool picture! :+1:
I may have overlooked one, but can someone post a picture of one of these next to a Tool AA or Ultratac A1?
Also, do we have measurements on this light? (Length, bezel width, tube width)

Dimensions are…
Length: 71.47mm
Bezel d:14.47mm
Tube d: 13.92mm
I don’t have a Tool AA but I do have a Tool AAA:
I also missed the first batch. +1 for second run

Awesome, thank you!
gchart: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.
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.

AFAIK the 5mm bulb the C01 uses has been discontinued. I was going to buy the cool one on ebay but that sold the next day! :person_facepalming:

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!
Mine finally came in today…. very pleased
Is this orange or Yellow Tritium? and also, how much NOA61 glue did you need? I am not sure if I need to buy 1cc (ml) or 2.
Thanks in advance!
Sitting on top of it's bigger brother. Digging the raw look.

It’s orange but it looks more like yellow to me. Get the smallest bottle of NOA 61 - you really do not need much.

Sorry for the Ultratac A1 being absent (it’s in the truck ATM), but does this lineup do it for ya?
PS - my BLF Edition C01S came in today! :partying_face:
