[…] I’m not sure if the ‘red wine’ ano color was pictured anywhere, but it’s not showing up for me in the op

Strange...I used abload.de as image hoster, as usual. Can you see this picture below?

I see it OK on my Windows 7 PC with Brave browser - but it takes a few seconds to load. Perhaps it is a bandwidth issue with the Abload host. It's probably temporary as they have been very reliable in the past. But it doesn't hurt to donate to them from time-to-time to help offset their bandwidth cost. I host pictures with Abload and try to donate some coin at least annually.

Maybe 2.700K is “yellowish” enough to not interfere with one’s sleep?

Can’t rely on color temperature — the output can look quite yellow/red and still contain a significant amount of blue light, which is what murders sleep.
(the blue emission is from the LED layer, underneath the layer of phosphors that converts those photons to warmer ones).

Turns out there are now LEDs driven using violet instead of blue, which solves the problem.

Soraa, founded by Shuji Nakamura, the Nobel Prize winner, announced a new series of blue light free LED lamp

Finally after years peoples begin to consider this problem the inhibition of melatonine caused by neutral and cool white Led lights(by the natural emission of blue from Led)
But they are still the most requested and sold
I would see more very Warm/Amber Leds lights

My Choice for ano is sandblasted grey; if not, dark-wine red.

Update (January 2, 2020):

Sofirn has managed to create a working prototype. Barry told me they are very satisfied with the beam and color rendition. They have also implemented a new UI with two mode groups (L-M-H, H-M-L), changeable by 8 fast twists...

I love this proposed selectible UI, and would like to see it eventually ported to its big brother - the C01S!

@Lux-Perpetua

… Next step is to talk about the host color. I still vote for the wine red ano with a dark colored clip…

A wine color that one cannot confuse with a red C01S is a good choice IMHO. I also think that a dark clip (like the one that comes with the C01S) would work well.

Lux, thanks for all your good hard work!

I’m still in for 1 light. My preference would be the “wine red” ano, but I don’t really have a problem with the other colours.

Interested (wine-red) :THUMBS-UP:

[Sari33]

it’s uncomfortable twist 6 times from L to H?

[karmii]

Interested in three.

@iamlucky13

Glad to hear this is moving forward! And the new UI sounds great. Did they say if this will be implemented in future batches of the regular C01s, as well?

The odds are good that the next batch of Sofirn's C01S (with SST-20 4000K 95CRI) will be using the new UI, too. The cost increase will be around $ 0.50. Barry asked me about my opinion and I said that's a minor price increase which should be easily outweighed by the benefits customers would get, i.e. a reversible mode order and three instead of only two modes. The poll I've run here on BLF has revealed that most people favor this new UI.

Thanks. I've changed that and linked the picture to abload.de. I hope it's visible to everyone, now.

Yup. I see it now. Thanks!

[Ragsy]

I like wine!

Interested

Thanks

[DunchBlaster]

I’m also interested in one, thanks!

[Noctiluco]

I think that a memory of last mode is of much more interest that the order secuence H-L or L-H.

For keychain lights, two modes better than three.

IMHO.

[olles]

Wine red would be fine for me, otherwise “normal” red would work as well.
mode memory is fine and preferred sequence would be L-M-H
And a sub-lumen brightness would be fine as locator in the dark, I wonder how long the battery would last in that mode…
add me for one more!

[Moloflashy]

Interested in one!

[CalDellinger]

Interested in one. Thanks

[Esko]

Interested in one. Wine red anodizing preferred.

@Lux-Perpetua

The odds are good that the next batch of Sofirn’s C01S (with SST-20 4000K 95CRI) will be using the new UI, too.

[KevinZA1988]

Please change all 3 of mine to deep red. Thank you!

[lamppu]

Interested in one (preferably Deep Red / Wine Red).
