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, Iām 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. Iām sure a poll wouldnāt hurt. Sofirn gets a bunch of free market research and instant cred in the community.
Iām 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. Thatās at least ten successful sales. Iāve given a few away and Iāve given Sofirn strong recommendations to people elsewhere in the EDC/gear community.
Dag. Well, Iām 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. Weāll all buy a bunch!
I just use silicone glue [the white stuff that comes in a squeeze tube]. I just put a dab on the bottom of the whole and press down until level with the light, and wipe off any excess that squeezes out.
I just got the light yesterday evening and I really like the light it produces, tint and beam. The two levels are good. I didnāt like the unannodized look at first, but the industrial look has grown on me now.
I got mine too. I only wish the knurling wasnāt so fine.
Now that I have one in hand I think I may not appreciate other materials as much since itās basically all knurling. The other lights in gchartās picture you can see only put knurling in the front and back primarily.
Stealing a pic from Tally-ho in another thread I think some of the knurling could be a bit wider on the head and then the body knurling replaced by something like this to better appreciate the material and still keep it a bit tactile:
