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

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.

Thanks. I did try that and it doesn’t show any tracking info, just that it was shipped.

How about putting a link to sofirn in the first page that doesn’t take you to the netherlands version of ali express.

English maybe ?

Presently it shows as “sold out” so it doesn’t appear on the list of Sofirn Official Store, but here is the link in English in case the OP is altered:

Also, djozz and slowtechstef, please add the degree of the leds used to avoid further incorrections or opinions about the type of leds being used:

:arrow_right:

Both 3200K and 5600K versions have 60 degrees leds and that is clearly mentioned close to the top of the OP, including a beamshot comparing them to a 45 degrees Yuji led (but that one is wrongly called a 30 degrees led, sorry about that). Is that good enough?

Indeed, it is, and I missed it as it was in the first paragraph of the quote [Update 2018-10-29 (Update from djozz)]!
Guess that should be enough :wink: Thanks mate !! :+1:

It is only Stef who can edit the OP, and it is a bit less tidy than could be.

It’s good, people just need to take a look at it from time to time to avoid confusions and the need of further explanations :+1:

Missed the first wave.I had signed up for GB…What the next best option?

Are sign ups still available? I’d like the 3200k and 5600k.

See, I told you people would correct me lol. There's no problem with Yuji LED being sold out currently, so people can calm down. Even after the first run of 2000 lights are sold out Sofirn can make more if there's a demand for it. So grab one when they are ready.

As has been stated many times, there is no ‘sign up list’ per se. Members were asked to add their names to an interest list in hopes of convincing Sofirn that the project was worth while. Now that Sofirn has created the lights, they are first come first served on their store at Aliexpress.
At the moment, the first batch of production has sold out, but more are on the way. A total of 2000 lights will be produced, half for each of the two CCI options.

Well, almost. People who are on the list do not seem to get their lights earlier than others but there is some discount for them when they mention their BLF username during the ordering process. If Sofirn actually checks the interest list before giving the discount I don’t know.

In the meantime it is now waiting for Sofirn to get the C01 back in stock again, I have no info on that.

There seems to be a lot of confusion and misinformation here about whether or not the LED Sofirn is using has been discontinued. Can someone, perhaps djozz, clear some of this up?

The Yuji LEDs used in the light have not been discontinued:

At a minimum, they are still in stock, except for the 3200K, 45 degree version.

Whether Yuji will have additional batches made once those sell out remains to be seen, but if Sofirn decides they want to produce more lights than they have LED’s for, they can currently order them.

I vote for iamlucky13’s answer as closest to what seems going on, although Barry persists that they are already discontinued now and that Sofirn can not make a new batch after these 2000.

Am still waiting for the GB! Any one knows when will it start? This is taking too long...
