[Available again! - BLF special edition light] new Sofirn AAA twisty high CRI 5mm LED

If still counting, I’m in for a 3400k

I am not interested in a 5mm Red C01

I am most interested in another run like the original High CRI C01.

I am very happy with the xp-e2 660nm C01R, I would do it again

dont know what SST does better than 660nm, but open to either option.

I agree the C01R has higher brightness than I need, and I would be fine with lowering all 3 modes

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.

AWESOME!!

Just in time for Christmas.

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?

we don’t sell C01 lights without led, but you can buy it and replace led yourself.

Good news, thank you! :+1:

Not so good news :weary: .

Can we get these on Amazon Canada?

Hurray for more C01!

I’d probably order more if there were a host available, but as is, I still need at least a couple to swap 2300K’s into.

Awesome!!!

Thoughts on the poor beam pattern of the 5mm Red…

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.

This is great news! C01 might be favorite light of all time. Am looking forward to being able to gift more of these

I’ll be wanting 3 of these - 2x 95CRI and 1x deep red.

Will these Sophia LEDs also be available to buy separately?

Sophia 5mm and 3mm 90CRI are available at Rgwn WTS 2300K-5800K post

That being said i will need a bunch of these to install all Rgwn's 5mm :)

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

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.

I’m thinking of getting some of those, too.

Great news!

I updated the opening post with links to the Sofirn website and AliExpress store.

Available in AE store only while on website it's still on hold...

Did Sofirn stop potting after the first C01 run?

Very happy to see the great variety of LEDs and modes these aaa hosts are being offered with.

:+1:

I hope in some future run Sofirn will offer a Copper and Titanium version of the host.
