Now Sofirn’s website says “C01R XPE2 660nm Deep RED READY TO SHIP” but mine are still waiting to be shipped.
Unfortunately, there were no prototypes or finished lights sent out to anyone before the "mass" production (this term is not really applicable here) started. All we have is a whitewall shot from a prototype that Barry sent to me, see OP.
Please see my previous update...
I can see why Barry has to charge a higher price on Amazon and Aliexpres,
I am sure selling a little light for couple bucks is labor and cost intensive.
Is it the same case when selling a pack of 3, that includes C01S, C01R, etc…or a pack with different colors,
or even a pack of 5 for $50 or 10 for $100. etc.
I see these multipacks all over Amazon
I like the idea of a multipack that consists of different C01x lights, e.g. C01S with SST20 4.000K 95CRI + C01R with XP-E2 photo red 660nm. Another option could be the typical "buy one, get two" sales strategy, e.g. selling SP36 along with a free sample of C01S like Olight sometimes does with their lights.
Already ordered.
Can anyone gives some short info on what usage they use for this light?
I would get them if there are nice use that interest me.
Thank you.
My order was shipped a couple of hours ago.
red is usually good to not ruin your night vision and not attrack certain animals etc….
Same here. After 5 weeks in limbo.
Also received shipping information for mine 
Same here 
Same 
why can’t we just get a zebralight with photo red and be done. the website sez 650-670nm
Interesting, a higher-tier product for sure, but 5 times more expensive.
Why not both? 
Why only one of each?
Got shipping notice, gonna print up a few diffusers for mine, just for fun.
Wth I was in the list and never got a notice that they were taking preorders…. Now I have to pay $52 to get one??
Sorry to disappoint you but I cannot provide this kind of service to inform everyone by single notifications. I kindly ask you to regularly check this thread for any news. I do all this here by myself, free of charge, free of any kind of compensation and last but not least during my spare time. Thank you for your understanding.
You do not have to pay $ 52 to buy C01R. The light is available for $ 9.99 plus shipping. Shipping is free of charge if your total order value exceeds $ 59.00.
Any other usage?
It’s tempting and I might get it anyway and find use for it
