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

Sounds good to me. I’m please with the tail design. Thanks to all who have contributed to this project so far!

Thanks TheShadowGuy for the poll, the results and the discussion.

LOL, it is not easy to integrate those two surveys, for correct interpretation it is even relevant how many people have filled in both surveys, this overlap is unknown. At least it is clear that the magnet hole is there to stay and there is no grand winner in wether to keep the trit-hole or not.

I’m tempted to (mis-?)use the confusion to my own advantage and ask Sofirn to keep both holes. Keeping the design as is is also the easiest story for them.

Anyone with great objections to this blatant mis-use of democracy? :wink:

Democracy (mob rule) is overrated…

djozz/noir design all the way!

Go for it

Democracy is overrated ;) , I hereby declare my brainchild to be the victor :CROWN: .

Kidding aside the polls do seem to suggest that the majority support, or at least will be ok with the design (with both the magnet hole and the trit slot). This is of course also the most flexible option.

And since it is completely impossible to please everybody at the same time, I think it is best to just go ahead with this design.

I agree. May the Schwartz be with you.

Could you please add me to the list for Qty-2

Thanks!

Which flavor? 3200k or 5600k?

Yes! Let the fabrication begin! Or as the King once said, “A little less conversation, a little more action!”
:slight_smile:

In for two of each.

I really like the Noir/Djozz design as it is.

On principle, I think it should have both holes, even if the majority who care won’t use the trit hole.

The reason I say that is because the people who want a trit and/or a magnet need the corresponding holes, or they can’t do it at all. On the other hand, the people who don’t want a trit or a magnet don’t lose any function if the holes are present; they can just ignore them or even fill them in.

Forget democracy, it’s time for an Imperial Decree :slight_smile:

I put Elmer’s Glow in the Dark glue in my trit holes.

Elmer’s on the left, green trit vial on the right…
Of course I charged up the glue “trit” for the photo…and it will fade of course…but not bad…

Wouldn’t adding a vial of trit to a $6 light be the same as putting $1200 worth of wheels and tires on a ’74 Pacer?

:smiley:

Maybe so, but I have some spare trits left over from other projects so no new cost - hopefully this light will be tough enough to out last the trit. :smiley:

Man Without Shadow, how well does the GITD glue stay in place?

On a flat surface, it will peel off. But in a trit hole it seems to stay ok. It could easily be plucked out with a fingernail or toothpick. Haven’t had it in my pocket banging around with keys or anything.

Just something I tried…and the price is right!

I would tell them that we really prefer the magnet hole, and are split on the trot hole, so use their discretion.

This is true of course. All I can do is go off of my first hand experience and other tests that back them up.

The E01 has had a long time to prove its reputation. I think it will take the Sofirn a while as well, but I’m optimistic from what I’ve seen thus far.

2 x 3200k please.
