Our latest product C01, using Sophia lamp beads, 3400K CRI 95+ 5mm LED. We have prepared 5000pcs emitter, expected to arrive at next week , Black, Blue, Orange, Green, Desert Tan each color 1K. In addition, there are 1K red , using 670nm red emitter.
Thank you. We all have been waiting for this a long time.
But the other question: will you sell a portion of these lights without a led?
So people can experiment with a led of their own choice, like a UV-led?
After using the C01R for a couple of weeks, I understand what many others have mentioned: with completely dark-adjusted eyes, the Low of the C01R is still quite bright. The High seems like it could do some serious damage with fully wide open pupils.
Since Sofirn has committed to another batch of the (relatively) high-powered C01R, I wonder if they’d consider salvaging the 5mm Red as a one-mode sub-lumen light and include a diffuser with each. Then, the beam pattern wouldn’t matter at all - even more so if they can find a pebbled optic, too. With this kind of change the C01 5mm Red and C01R wouldn’t compete with each other for sales, either. The niche here is not as a novelty toy, but seriously targeting the astrophotography groups that want an extremely low light that won’t singe your eyeballs if you accidentally look directly at it.

BTW, the NW/CW Yuji is still offered. I’d like to see more of those lights, too. They’re better than the Sophia 5800K LEDs, which look green in contrast to the 5600K Yuji.
