While awaiting the C01 hosts, another 5mm AAA light caught my eye for a possible host candidate.
SBFlashlight just put his Klarus lights on clearance and amongst the gems is the Mi02. It’s a great performer right up there with the Fenix E01. I’m probably going to pick one up and see about swapping the angry-blue Nichia GS with a Hi-CRI Yuji, while I await the next batch of C01’s.
I will ask Barry when a new batch of C01’s will be made. Sofirn is going to use the rngwn-sourced leds for this new batch, and I hope that the host version can be added to the production batch.
I get the impression that new things at Sofirn start happening only after chinese newyear so maybe patience is still needed.
In case that new C01 batch happens, I am not sure if I will keep my interest in the hosts, as I prefere the lights potted and not having to order the LEDs separately. However, as that is not a reality yet, I will keep my interest in the hosts for now!
