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

That’s pretty much how BLF group buys go, and somehow it still works. The list is maintained in Post 287 and is up to date through last week.

Also, it’s been suggested that in this particular case (probably because the light is cheap and getting a lot of interest) the list probably won’t be used for direct online purchasing and might not matter very much at this point. Rather, the list is to gauge interest, and we might get a coupon code or something to make the purchase on Aliexpress where it’s already listed (as unavailable for now).

The list is here:

I’m not an expert in automation but I think it should be possible to generate a PM to all people on the list with the how-to-purchase information.

Thanks Djozz. Wow I’m surprised the Yuji in the C01 has a DUV of -.0037 making it even rosier than the SST-20. Im guessing it’s a different batch of Yuji emitter or the glass making the C01 so much rosier than the Yuji in the E01vn. Comparing the Yuji in my E01vn to other 3000k lights, I’m sure it has a positive DUV because it appears noticeably more yellow.

Now I’m interested in this. Please put me down for 3! Thanks.

I’d like to update my list preference from 1 light to 2. So 2 lights total. Thanks!

@SKV89, you may have been unlucky with your particular Yuji led. I have six of these leds in a nightlight, very low driven btw, that may have an influence, but there is some tint variation among them. Here’s a picture, the tints are not reproduced very accurately but you can see that not all tints are the same.

There is no glass in the C01 btw

Makes me nervous to see 7 orders on the page, and “Sorry, this item is no longer available!” Someone please reassure me…

I see a lot of new posts and quantity updates. Looks like I’d better get the list updated tonight! :partying_face:

There’s also tests here by staticx57 of both color temperatures, in 45 degree versions, presumably from a different batch, although he didn’t report DUV or provide a chromaticity diagram.

Please add 2pcs red 3200k and 2pcs blue 5600k. Thanks…:slight_smile:

I am interested for:

2x 3200k Blue
2x 5600k Red

Please add me to the list:
Black 3200
Black 5600

Thanks!

I'll purchase (1) of the 3200K, please.

Hi, I'm interested in getting four of these.

1x Blue 5600k

1x Red 3200k

2x Black 3200k

I’m in for 1x Blue 3200k and 1x Black 5600k.

It is clear that I live on my BLF island, I had seen your test in the first post of the thread but not the spectral data later in the post :slight_smile:

I want 4 in 3200k now

2 black

1 red

1 blue

But I need to see the colors first to confirm my order and Maybe order more depending on the colors (if I like them)

The colours are the same red and blue that Sofirn uses in other flashlights. But to know how they really look is almost impossible from pictures, they differ depending on who took the pictures with what camera, and what monitor you watch them on. And no camera will get them exactly how they look in real life.

That said, this picture I found of the Sofirn SP10B gives the blue pretty accurately on my (HP 1740 on standard settings) monitor, the red SP10B is not correct, a bit too cherry in this picture, the actual colour is closest to the top part of the red S2+ in the same picture (the bottom part has more yellow from light reflection from the wooden floor, this is absent in the “Sofirn red”.

If Sofirn does their own Sofirn colours as announced, you are not getting more accuracy than this, also not when actual colour samples of the C01 arrive (which will not be this or next week from what I gather).

I would like 1 black, 5600 K.

OK I have ordered my trits and magnets. Hope this works out…
