They changed the knurl-type to a finer one. And the knurling is now the same on the battery tube and head (a slight annoyance of mine is solved with this). I think it looks better than before, and despite that it is finer, it is still quite grippy.
Sofirn, this is a thread for the C01s…
If you wanna advertise here, at least include a link for that light on your site! Otherwise this information is just spamming…
I got my bare sandblasted ones too today and they are ok looking. I expect that a few weeks on a keychain in a pants pocket will wear the matt finish away and the light will be shiny again.
I contacted Sofirn about C01S brightness order when ordering from their direct site and they said said H/L for black and L/H for other colors (red/blue)
I made two separate orders the same day for some C01S’. Both shipped the same day and were following the same shipping updates in china, until a few days ago, when one showed up processed through NYC/JFK and delivered. The other order still seems to not have left China, as far as the tracking number is concerned. Like you, I am starting to worry that the second package got lost, but am hoping it’s just holiday backup.
