Sofirn C01R deep red [sold out, discontinued]

Count me in for 1. Thanks!

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.

OT:

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 ?

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!

sounds good thanks.

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

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...

Thank you Lux-P for this extensive explanation.
What’s your feeling? When the sales could start? After 11.11? End of Nov? Dec?

Personally, I'd like to be pessi...sorry realistic. :-D With that said, I do not expect it to happen before December 2019. The benefit about being realistic is, I feel more relaxed about delays and I am more delighted in case things suddenly go faster than expected. Please note that my guessing is more or less reading tea leaves. ;-)

“…C01S with LH351D 2.700K 90CRI…”

Ooooooooo! That might be nice! :heart_eyes:

… made from copper, of course.

:smiley:

I could use an extra red light for night photography, so interested in deep red, thanks!

Two more for 4, previous post 128.

1 more for me please. Previous post# 162

In for one of each wavelength, hopefully deep red can get up.
