Sofirn C01R deep red [sold out, discontinued]

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 :partying_face:

Same here :slight_smile:

Same :smiley:

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? :stuck_out_tongue:

Why only one of each? :stuck_out_tongue:

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

I understand. Thank you for what you do. I should have checked more often. But since the start of the corona thing I have not been checking the forum as often as I wish.

When I chew cinnamon gum, I use a red flashlight to get that extra “kick” of cinnamon flavor.

Look up red light therapy, there are supposed health benefits when using this wavelength of red light.

Well...you don't have to put on the red light... :-D

...apart from using it for "horizontal business" pleasures you could use C01R for:

  • low light applications like night-camping, cave explorations, stargazing...any scenario that should maintain your night vision capability and/or avoid attraction of nasty insects
  • ambient illumination in your bedroom / hotelroom / living room etc.
  • supporting your sleep quality when using as a nightstand light
  • seeking the way to the toilet at night without waking up your wife, mistress, whatever....happy wife, happy life :CROWN:
  • giving it away to friends as something special they would not expect in a keychain light 8^)
  • ... no particular reason ... because you just can :P

Thanks, everyone. Well I decide to get one myself. Want to explore those thing you guys mention. And also just because I can. :smiley:

Barry was so kind to send me two new whitewall beamshots that he took with his smartphone camera. Unfortunately, it is more than difficult to get the same impression (tint, color rendition, actual and perceived brightness) from a picture as you would get with the naked eye. However, let's just consider this as some kind of appetizer before you receive your own lights. :-)

As soon as I receive this light I will do a review including a side-by-side comparison between C01, C01S and C01R as well as a tint comparison with a modded Sofirn SF14 or Wurkkos WK30 with XP-E2 red (625nm).

Picture #1: Low mode (Barry says this mode really dim and barely to catch with his smartphone camera). Maybe this could be ideal for preserving one's night vision when using in darkness.

Picture #2: High mode

Looks good!
