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

(2) 3K please (thanks).

Im in for 3 of each too please

I’d be in for one of each tint, thanks.

That looks like a functional design both for allowing split ring attachment and for tail standing:

Another tail design that was recommended by famed E01 afficiondao gurdygurds is the used by Klarus on the Mi02. Second from the left here:

Interested in one 5600K.

in for 1 of each

I like the Muyshondt and Maratac Peanut style tails for tail standing and split ring.

I’m in for 2x3200k and 3x5600k.

Interested

Put me down for 1 in each tint

I would be game for 1 in each tint!

thanks for the photo links, that’s very helpful

Option 1 with trit slot (Ant)

Option 2 (eTool and Olight i3s)

Options 3, 4, 5, 6 (fenix)

2 @ 5600K

As far as tail design goes, I’d like to see a modified lug design that allows for a centered keychain hang, like an Arc AAA, but has a quarter(ish) circle on side and a flat lug that allows for tailstanding. Kind of (- shaped.

visual aide, Arc tail, Sapphire tail

I think a center hang has a lot of merit

here is one that tailstands too, BLF A01 tail

Updated through post 462 (Gebe). Now over 400.

Shortcut to list

To keep things simple, I’m changing my tracking practice slightly so non-specific notes like “I’m interested” will be entered as quantity 1.

It is still preferable, I think, for members to state the quantity and color temperature they’re interested in.

One in 5600k for me

Please add me to the list for 2 3200k. Thanks.

An update from Sofirn. They made a first drawing based on the specs, so nothing is actually made yet and nothing is final. But pics are always very nice :slight_smile: . In fact it is a 2nd drawing because it had one clip groove (I was pleasantly surprised by that they decided on clip possibility) and I asked if a second groove could be made to allow the clip to be reversed. A clip will not be standard but can be ordered separately, it is the PF04 clip.
So it is not much more than a E01 copy with some extra features but that may be exactly what we want.

This section is still without second clip recession:

Personally I like the tail like this but I see discussion above to make a central hanging point instead of one on the side. I stil think that the trit slot is a nice outstanding feature (Barry was less enthousiastic about a trit slot because he liked a standard Sofirn tail like the SP10 better, but I really would like to keep it in the design) so if a tail design can be worked out with a central hole combined with a trit slot and tail standing and still looking good that would be awesome.

Sofirn is going to look into if a parabolic recession at the front will do any good for the beam, but since nothing is made yet that is still ahead of us.

They are now confident that they will do the potting well (“they will make it great”)

Verry nice! The tail is perfect. Now a nice non black anodizing :smiley: . I would skip the longitudinal grooves on the middle knurling, but that is up to sofirn.

Nice fast progress!
