@khaleeq

For now, I would count this as one piece since I cannot guarantee that Sofirn will be offering two red tints.

I also asked for a C01S with SST-20 2.700K 95CRI but they got another idea, trying out LH351D 2.700K 90CRI that is being used in the LT1 also.

That would be much floodier than the SST-20 C01S right? It sounds like a nice substitute for the discontinued floody C01.

Count me in for 1. Thanks!

@mortuus

any chance these will work with a 10440 ?

ouch, these are 2V leds that should not handle more than 1.5A. so on a 10440 either the led gets way more current than that and blows, …

Don't be shy djozz, you know the driver blows up… ;-)

Yes, LH351D is bigger in terms of the LED’s die size, resulting in a floodier beam.

Some time ago someone here posted a source for honeycomb optics. Along with the SST-20 @2700K…

…it is a nice warm and floody light. Sofirn should offer this TIR optics as option.

also what will the color of host be, same red as previous ?

[Lux-Perpetua]

I try to get us a different host color (see two designs in the OP #1) to have more diversity with regard to the C01S.

In for one please…thanks!

Do we know what triggers the end of collecting interest? Entries for 200 pcs? Or we shall wait longer?

[KevinZA1988]

Interested in 1 (620/625nm). Interested in another 1 if the 660nm will be produced.

Okay, I put you down for 2pcs as I hope we get 660nm eventually. ;-)

Well, let's put it this way for the moment...

1. Sofirn is interested in making this flashlight.【 ✓ 】
2. The MPQ of 200 pcs will be reached. 【 very likely to happen 】
3. The desired tint (deep red) and LED will be selected. 【 pending feedback from their suppliers 】
4. The desired body color (wine red) will be realized. 【 pending feedback from their anodizing factory and cost effectiveness 】
5. Sofirn has enough resources to start immediately with the production. 【 pending approval by their production planning 】

I will keep on collecting interest even beyond the 200 pcs mark, at least until we know for sure what the final specs will be and to demonstrate that there is enough interest to offer monochromatic keychain lights. This interest check can also be considered as a pilot for checking interest in a whole bunch of new C01S derivates (e.g. C01S with LH351D 2.700K 90CRI).

Currently, Sofirn is more than busy with the LT1 lantern sale and preparations for the 11/11 sale. They also want to speed things up on the development of the SP10S BLF Andúril flashlight which has received even more interest than the C01R. I assume that the AAA-format is not their top priority right now. Should the C01R get its final approval, they may want to incorporate it with the next batch run of all C01S models. Just contemplating...
