Hello everyone,
The project of a Sofirn 14500/AA light with red LED has been suspended for technical limitations (see here). After discussing some alternatives, I would like to present you a more feasible concept that Sofirn is highly interested in - a AAA keychain light using the widely known and appreciated Sofirn C01S host and driver design and a small yet powerful red LED for red light illumination.
Sofirn C01R (project name)
Example: Sofirn Red / Black | Example: No anodization |
Typical applications:
- Low-light usage to maintain night vision capability
- Finding keys, stargazing, astrophotography...
- Military/outdoor use (reading maps, orientate without attracting attention, no attraction of insects)
- Ambient colorful illumination (nightstand, decoration)
Specifications (as in C01S):
Emitter:
Cree XP-E2 red (625nm) confirmed
or Cree XP-E2 deep red (660nm) 20 sample LEDs arrived - testing in progress
or Cree XP-G3 deep red (660nm) not available to order from Sofirn's suppliers
Lumens output:
yet to be assessed, monochromatic light is difficult to measure
User Interface:
- original intent: 2 modes, low - high, always start on low (like BLF edition)
- alternative: 3 modes with 2 modegroups: moonlight - low - high and high - low - moonlight
please choose your desired UI by voting here: http://budgetlightforum.com/node/69811
Body color:
- standard red or black anodization (deep red anodization not possible according to Sofirn)
- alternatives: maybe "no anodization" (silver appearance) if highly demanded (like C01S BLF edition) or new LT1 colors (e.g. dark green, desert tan, orange)
Voltage range: 0.9V - 1.5V
Dimensions: 71.6mm (length) x 14.5mm (head diameter)
Weight: 15 grams (without battery)
Battery options: 1x AAA 1.5V Alkaline battery or 1x AAA 1.2V NiMH rechargable battery
Price: should hopefully be in the same area as C01S with SST-20 4.000K 95CRI, i.e. around $ 9.00 - $ 11.00 if I recall correctly. Price may be a bit higher with a more sophisticated 3-mode/2-modegroup UI
Please express your interest below with your desired quantity. At the moment, I will count any tint to gather a general lot size.
Thank you!

Interested!!! What price would this be at? Will help to know how many for!
I assume the price will be very close to C01S if we get to buy it.
Oh dear. Interested in one depending on price sigh.
Please ask Sofirn if a deep red anodization is possible
Will there be an optic? The C01 is made for a 5mm led (which is its own optic) without ledboard so will not fit a SMD led just like that. Maybe Sofirn will use the C01S host with C01 driver? So what current will it be driven at?

As far as I know, they want to use the C01S flashlight but with XP-E2 red instead of SST-20. I need to wait for Sofirn's engineer to do some testing with the current.
I’d like two if there’s enough to go around.
Interested in one with red body

Interested in two or three, depending on price
Interested. There will be two modes?
Interested in a couple please!

I’m interested but my interest caps at twenty bucks. If it’s under fifteen bucks, I’d buy at least one. At ten bucks or less, I’d buy at least two.
Interested in two units. Deep red anodization would be nice.
Interested.
Been wanting a simple, small, just-red light.
Interested in two
Interested only, if Deep Red emitter is used (then, 2 pcs).
Interested
Thanks,
Mike
Interested in deep red. 3 pcs.
Please note that XP-G3 deep red is not confirmed, pending more evaluation on actual dome size (need to fit underneath the C01S optic), availability, beam quality and additional costs. Priority is currently given to XP-E2 red (625nm).

Interested in two.
Just discovered this wonderful addiction.
Interested.
If possible both LEDs (625, 660 nm)
