The list is/was merely to get an “interest list” to check how many lights people would be interested in!
The first batch was already sold and a new batch will come soon on Sofirn Official Store at AliExpress (black version).
Later, the coloured versions will also be on sale.
So, in a shorter answer, it is/will be bought on AliExpress, regardless of the list :+1:
I was checking my order confirmation email and realized that they charged 8% tax. This was my first order on ali with tax, I thought the tax was only for US online sales.
I have mounted some of this in AAA lights and te beam of light is smooth and regular, and the color rendering is excellent, as says Ledrise in its specifications.
I didn’t pay any tax, I live in Wisconsin for the record.
My guess is maybe Ali has a warehouse in your state?Online tax paying is always kind of weird. You can buy something from a chain of stores based from another state and the item is stocked and ships from another state, but if that chain has 1 store in your state, you have to pay your state tax.
I believe the 3200K Yuji LED used in the first run is the 30 degree 95 BC ones (if I'm wrong someone will correct me) and they are discontinued. The 45 degree 3200K are out also, but the 60 degree 3200K version is still available so logic dictates that if Sofirn makes a second run they'll probably use the 60 degree LED for the warm 3200K version. So no need to panic about not getting a Yuji LED in your C01 just yet. Just my opinion.
Does anyone else’s tracking number work? Mine was marked shipped a little while ago and shows as “number not found” on 17track. Isn’t that usually because it’s not a real tracking ID?
IMHO 17track is one of the best tracking sites around, but it is not allmighty. Especially when it concerns AliExpress parcels. But Ali has it’s own tracking system. Go to “My AliExpress” => “My Orders” and in the right row of your particular order you’ll find the button “Track Order”. Pushing it will reveal you something like “Shipment accepted by airline”. With Ali parcels it is even quite accurate (and detailled) to follow parcels in the destination country, a notorious weak-point in most tracking systems.
