Sofirn C01R deep red [sold out, discontinued]

I hope the head and tail pieces will Lego with different bodies, so we can make multicolored lights.
That’d mean someone would run a computerized lathe with consistent settings to make the threads all match rather than just eyeballing to approximate the thread cutting, of course.

4 wine red with deep red emitter for me please

I've finally managed to source some XP-E2 *660nm* Photo Red emitters. They are without doubt by far superior to the regular "red" 625nm xp-e2's. The 660nm has a beaurifull true crimson red tint, while the 620nm is closer to being orange-rosy-reddish than being actual red. I don't understand why anyone would chose the 620nm led over the 660nm besides the 620nm will have a bit more lumens.

Not just a bit, the human eye is 6 times! more sensitive to 620nm compared to 660nm (link). So you need 6 times the radiometric power for 660nm to get the same brighness as 620nm light, or the other way around, at the same radiometric power 660nm appears 6 times as dim.The crimson is lovely but it comes at great costs.

Apariently 730nm “far red” xpe’s are a thing, well looks like im going to have try and find some, and see if it will ruin 660nm photo red for me like, photo red ruined 620nm for me. I find it really amusing when it wears off and i start seeing 620nm as red i turn the 660nm on again.

Kinda want to do a kd 3 colour p60 in red, photo red, and far red now just to see, or do amber, red photo red, if its less discernable

Is the SST-20-DR viable? It looks like better performer than even XP-G3 and costs roughly the same.

XP-G2 Photo Red [650-670nm] 450@350mA, 1A max
XP-G3 Photo Red [650-670nm] 525lux@350mA 1.5A max
SST-20 Deep Red [650-670nm] 950lux@350mA, 3A max

SOFIRN got this emitter last year. The mass production of C01R is delayed. Hope to make C01R in the end of May.

But you can buy bare led now.

Anyone knows about SST-20-DR Deep Red (660 nm)?

Which model should it be used in? SP31V2 or C8F?

A powerful, deep red C8F would be intriguing, especially with regard to the small die size of the LED and the triple reflector the C8F would offer. Eventually, this would result in high intensity numbers. However, these sensitive LEDs do not really like high currents and therefore need another driver than C8F's standard FET driver.

OP is updated (as of May 13, 2020).

I changed your desired quantity to 2 pcs. Please note that I cannot promise that your preferred version will be realized (...even though the majority seems to be longing for the red wine anodization with the XP-E2 deep red LED).

Interested

Interested in 2 wine red ano w/660nm.

Interested in 2pcs 660nm.

Thank you very much. I understand there are no guarantees regarding my preferred version, well non-deep red is still better than no red at all :slight_smile:

I haven’t followed this closely but what is the intended use case for this light? If it’s to use in low light conditions to preserve night vision then is green better? A quick Google seems to indicate that green is better because it’s actually the intensity of light that destroys night vision and as our eyes are more sensitive to green we can use lower levels of light to see the same amount (compared to red). Green also allows for more visual acuity and better differentiation between colors at low-light levels.

Is it possible to change the amount I’m interested in? I want 2 instead of 1 now. Hopefully at least one of them will have a deep red emitter.

Sofirn’s shop lists the C01R for pre order now: https://sofirnlight.com/c01s-aaa-flashlight-starts-on-low-p0118.html

Thanks, order placed. :+1:

the linked site will only allow me to pre order 1 light. Am I missing something or is there a 1 unit limit at this time?

Thanks for any info

good advice, thanks
