not saying there was a master plot or conspiracy. Just stating I have seen the same confusion and running back and forth routine before with this sort of thing. and I wasn’t aware it was an “interest” thread only . someone mentioned things were being kept track of and people were stating specific quantities and colors. and now it seems to be a “get ’em if you can catch them” situation which is fine. I will keep looking around for them to show up.
sorry if my attitude offended people not my intention .
and not a Troll. not seeking to argue. Im done talking and will explore the site some more.
Keep your name calling to yourself thank you .
+1 !!! Never called a name to anyone! I just pointed out the obvious lack of overall knowledge and understanding of this thread and work on the Sofirn C01, in face of the above mentioned posted words! Therefore, I pointed out the post that explains how things are working!
I do hope the new batch (black first, and then the colours) arrive soon so that all the people interested in this light can get it!
Too much confusion comes from not reading the thread (despite it is long, sometimes it worths it) and not knowing how things are going!
I hope you can get your light(s) warmtint123 as all the members interested on it/them. :arrow_right:
I am waiting for the colored versions. Meanwhile I watch and learn from the experiences of “early adopters” so when the time comes for me to buy I am prepared.
Well, I went to the Ali orders page and extended the processing time on my orders —- Ali disagrees with Sofirn and shows my four C01 flashlight orders as all “awaiting shipment” — hoping they don’t cancel them for delayed shipment since it appears the process is quite confused. Time will tell.
Maybe the delay is because they ran out.
I wish they’d make these in orange as well as blue and red.
I like orange flashlights (e.g. the BLF Astrolux A01); easy to find in the earthquake kit.
EDIT: omigod, one order for 2 lights just changed to “awaiting delivery” … sooooo confused.
I’d guess I triggered a bug in the Ali payment system and they reported to Sofirn receiving payments that I didn’t make. Call the accountants!!
I’ve been following this discussion for a while now, and I’m looking forward to grabbing a couple of these lights - maybe once the confusion has died down a little though!
I feel like the timing of the product launch alongside 11.11 may have been a little unfortunate, especially with special instructions which require manual intervention…
So should there be some sort of “gentleman’s agreement” between those of us who have succesfully completed our orders and those that haven’t to try and make sure everyone gets one before stock runs out again? I know there’s enough to go around for everyone on the list, but it’d be nice for everyone to get at least 1 shipped out to them sooner rather than later.
As was just told to me by PM there was a post calling you a troll and that post was deleted so quickly that both MascarstumB and I never knew it had ever been there. I now understand that is what you responded on, and not our posts. Your comment makes more sense to me now.
What is the track record of these GB lights in the later stages of delivery as far as genuine OEM LEDS, circuitry, exact same parts as the first run (etc.)? I would care less for a few bucks off if I had some kind of sense that the very first run of lights being reviewed were basically the ones to get while each subsequent run…well…read your history books.
According to Sofirn, the Yuji LEDs these are using have been discontinued. After this, they definitely will have to use a different LED if they choose to keep making this light.
Not sure about the rest of your concerns though.
EDIT: To avoid future confusion by my post, there will be 1,000 of each tint made, so 2,000 lights with the Yuji LEDs. Once all of those sell out, I’m sure if Sofirn continues to make the light with another LED, the description will reflect the change, no bait and switch.
