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

They had 2 3200 available just now when were out before.

Im still waiting, no price adjustment since yesterday’s orders.
Got a reply to my messages that was just someone’s copypaste, when I left the message asking for the price adjustment so I could pay.
Whoever saw it doesn’t read well.

The order info page claims I’ve paid for three flashlight orders, but I didn’t, following the suggestions in this thread.

I got the same reply.

Just to remind this folks!!

I sure hope so since I put two of each in my cart last night at $7.01 USD, and today I find that the 3200K version is priced at $8.88. That’s just a little too much for my budget.

Why isn’t the option to use PayPal showing up for me? Is there something you need to do?

For me it makes a difference which browser I use, and which platform. On the PC, using Firefox, I get the Paypal option. On my tablet, on Chrome,if I choose ‘desktop version’, the Paypal option is there too. Try a few different options.

>which browser

Yup. I can’t even log in to Ali with Firefox right now, but Safari displays the login fields fine.
Progress, no doubt.

Huh. I got a message saying

So I went to check and the order has been “cancelled by the buyer” - fooey.

In my experience, you bring up the payment window, and it shows only CC options. If you cancel that, it then offers PP. That may not be your experience; just wanted to put that one observation out there in case it helps anyone.

I am using the current 64 bit version of Firefox, and have no problems logging into Aliexpress. Do you have any adblockers, etc. that might be causing the problem?

I didn’t change anything about Firefox, the Ali login just quit working in the last couple of days.
Same time as I’ve had all the troubles with this order.
So it goes.

For anybody wanting to make the order, here is what you need to do (the Liitokala order is only used as a reference, only use it on the Sofirn C01)

1. Make your order

2. Check the Other payment methods and click Pay now

3. Rather than paying, click on the Aliexpress logo to go back to your home page

4. Go in your My orders page, and contact the seller

5. Leave this message with your BLF username

And voilà! Small BLF discount on the light.

With a final message, Paypal isn’t available in Aliexpress in Canada, which is a good thing for most cases, but slightly worse for edge cases.

I used the AliExpress App and the PayPal option appeared there. I didn’t use it, though!

BTW, the real value I paid for the 2 lights was higher than the $6,50! Honestly, I didn’t care that much!!
I am just waiting for the coloured versions to get some :wink:

Again, thanks to all involved :+1:

Just nabbed my two 5600K, but 3200K were sold out. I’ll need to order them when they come back in stock. 5600K are almost sold out too, only three of those left. Good thing Sofirn have more coming :slight_smile:

Oh, that explains it! Shame, I’d really prefer to use PayPal.

It is a bummer for people who missed out for the first 300 lights, but it is a good thing that they went so fast. It will give Sofirn trust that the flashlight that they made in cooperation with BLF is a good product for them. They may even (this is speculation) consider to make another bath of these apart from the 2000 in the planning now (the Yuji store still lists the 60 degrees DIP leds in both colour temperatures, despite what Barry said). Or to make extra colours. Or use brighter/lower CRI led versions.

And I’m extremely curious how the C01 will be liked by the BLF crowd and beyond, and if all copies prove to be good quality.

I’m already pretty sure that a lot of people at first will be disappointed by the output, with appreciation only kicking in later :slight_smile:

I think it is just broken. I have tried on my Windows Machine: Chrome with adblocker off, incognito mode. Mac: safari, chrome, Firefox. iPad Safari, Chrome, Native App. Android: Chrome

I am in the United States and have used Paypal before on Convoy store, but now it does not give me the option

^ :frowning:

The red ones look dope.

Having shown some pics to my friends, they positively wanted the lights :slight_smile:

Ordered a 3200K version before they sold out. I originally asked for 1x 3200K and 1x 5600K but I decided that I really only wanted the 3200K. Given the demand (and the fact I’ve seen that Aliexpress link posted elsewhere, to people who have never even been to BLF) I’m sure that extra 5600K light will go to a good home.
