Please feel free to start a CPF thread to gauge interest and spread the word. :+1:
For the sake of expectation management:
I have a feeling that the MOQ for Fenix to produce a special high CRI edition of their E01 might be somewhere in the same order as that of directly ordering Yuji 5mm leds.
Perhaps around 500+ orders for Fenix to even start listening to some random internet flashlight nutsā¦
I presume there is a reason for the fact there has not been a special BLF edition produced by Fenix before.
If the rate of expressed interests for a Yuji E01 continues with the same speed, it is going to take a while before we reach that number. :person_facepalming:
Then again, itās good to have a dream.
And I still believe the combination of the Fenix E01 with the Yuji 5mm (both the 3200K as well as the 5000K) LED is a match made in heaven. :innocent:
@slowtechstef: I noticed Fenix has a specific GB/corporate order form. Might be a place to start if finding a liaison doesnāt pan out. Hereās the link.
Thanks. Just had a look at the Fenix form. Strange: in the āIndustryā pull down menu āonline flashlight community forumā was not listed as an option. Yet
Who knows? I even mentioned it and linked to his thread with a message along the lines of āHereās where you can buy something similar and they are great, but factory potting etcetc.ā
If I had to guess itās because we would need a manufacturer/price first. That would make some sense.
At least two people expressed price-conditional interest in the short time it was active, so thatās something.
run4jc is a very lucky guy, those are some of his lights. Price is no objection for him, he buys lights that cost hundreds of dollars, each
.
So, for those that want a YujiE01:
For less than US$100 Vinh will gladly sell you Two UNpotted E01 with the Yuji(s) of your choice.
Unit cost is $48 per Yuji
Update: 31 persons interrested in 56 lights in 4 days.
Hmmā¦ still a way to go until we reach that hypothetical 500 people target list.
For the impatient: like jon_slider said, those who want that *UNpotted *Yuji E01 they can buy one from Vinhnās shop.
Please do if you want one badly right now. I think it will only wet your appetite for a Fenix produced Yuji E01 :innocent:
By the way: Fenix introduced the E01 in April 2008.
Then means 2018 would be a great year to introduce the Fenix E01 special 10 year anniversary edition.
With Yuji high CRI led of course
That isnāt a fair statement. Gerber bought the rights to the design. And then dramatically improved on it. What you buy now looks nothing like the CMG. Gerberās version is my favorite ātwistā switch.
