And indeed the parcel was available for pickup today.
Unfortunately I only received 1x 5600K when I ordered 1x both. Only one inside and even the CN22 form said âquantity 1â.
Oh well, shit happens. Not a big deal! Sent a message to them. Theyâll probably get back to me later âtodayâ, itâs 2AM in Shenzhen right now.
Like I said before, at this moment I could order more C01âs but since I did not get both CCT I donât know which one I like more. ArghâŚ
The beam on the Fenix is smaller, brighter, throws more and has a more concentrated hotspot.
Fenix has blue tinted hotspot
5600k Sofirn looks white and very floody, almost no hotspot
3200, Sofirn looks slightly orange and very floody, almost no hotspot
it is 10 am by a window on an overcast day. I cannot see the beam of the sofirns on the ceiling, only the blue hotspot of the fenix is visible.
the 5600k sofirn has the most ânaturalâ tint
another view of the beam shapes and hotspots
Test of looking under the bed, during the day, when my brain is White Balanced to Daylight.
The 5600k Yuji is my favorite. The Fenix blue tint and hotspot bothers me. The warm Yuji is too dim and warm, at this time of day.
More tests to follow tonight when I wake for the bathroom⌠I suspect the warm Yuji will prevail in that application, but will update after real world testing.
I understood it was only the metal clip that was rusted which caused the black paint of the clip to peel off.
The body of the C01 is made of aluminium, which oxidizes, and is not able to ârustâ.
A photograph would be nice in this case so anyone can assess the exact nature of the problem.
That said: the anodization of the C01 body and the paint of the clip will wear down over time, especially when worn on a keychain.
The anodization type is nowhere explicitly specified by Sofirn, so it is probably the less robust Type II.
Energizer Ultimate Lithium is a primary (non-rechargeable) cell known for excellent shelf life and tolerance to high and very low temperatures, good discharge characteristics, and little to no leak risk. The downside is theyâre a little bit pricey, but have been getting better lately. Itâs an excellent option if youâre ok with the price.
Alkalines will work well in this light from a runtime perspective, especially the reduced output that occurs after the first 8-10 hours of operation. However, there is the ever-present leak risk that has to be considered for alkalines. Iâve had good luck cleaning up alkaline leakage with vinegar, so I might still use alkalines in mine. I havenât decided.
Rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries have very good discharge characteristics, a low potential total cost of ownership due to being rechargeable, and little to no leak risk. However, their lifespan is shortened if over-discharged, and this light is capable of over-discharging them. Recharging when the light gets noticeably dim will probably be reasonable protection against that.
I have not been a member for a long period of time but this thread has showed up at some point every week. The output is what had deterred me from purchasing this light. I would think a 30 lumen high would make this light more ideal. Just money. Sure I have spent it on worse things in the past.
Just got my 3200K light about 30 minutes ago and wow, I can now get why people would pay up the wazoo for a modded E01 with one of these Yujiâs. I was worried I wouldnât like the 3200K judging by the beamshots others have posted, but Iâm really liking it. If I can find my camera, Iâll try doing some comparison shots, but comparing my warm white high CRI XP-G Preon to the C01, the preon looks surprisingly green.
The body itself looks flawless upon initial inspection, no chips or peeling, same for the clip. Really loving the look of the tailcap and it tailstands much better than the E01.
Now if theyâd hurry up with the colored versionsâŚâŚ
Yay
I was also concerned about how yellow the Yuji warm would be⌠I can say that it is more orange than a 219c⌠which Im happy about, because I find 219c too yellow. And yes, the Warm Yuji is very nice at nightâŚ
I was curious how the Warm Yuji compared to a 3000k 219c that I have in an Olight i3s, and also to see how the 2000k E21A in my Utorch S1 Mini w Aspheric beam, and my 4500k 219b 9080 Utorch compared⌠and I threw in an HDS from 2011⌠so, without further ado, more beamshots:

Im pretty much done with the purple tinted Fenix after this pic⌠but in parting I will say, it throws much farther than the Yuji LEDsâŚ
Hotspot overexposes part of the pic:
Floody even beam:
Gotta Love the Warm Yuji when its time to get mellow
