If this happens, I’m in for a few!
Copper version would also be great.
1)Yes it seems like there is going to be one, 200 pieces without anodisation (took half a year to convince them that there are people who actually would want an unfinished flashlight), but no confirmation about low first yet. Btw, I’m not going to arrange a dedicated group buy for this, I’d be ok with that it just goes for sale at the Sofirn store.
2 and 3) based on a longterm discussion about the C01, I believe a no-ano version is nice as a BLF-special, and it is clear from the poll that most people want the mode order to be low->high so that is what I asked as well. Sure there will be endless other possible versions thinkable (my own preference would still be purple :party: ) but I think this version is a good choice that many will appreciate.
I’d defo be getting one of clear ano versions. No matter what the mode order is. It doesn’t really matter to me in such a small light.
This not about clear ano, but no ano at all. This will look and feel more rough because it is in fact what comes straight out of the CNC machine. That is why they don’t get why we want this 
.
no ano blf edition sounds good
No Ano looks polished and shiny or has a matte layer of Alum oxide ?
For me it’s gonna be a keychain light, anodization will be gone in no time anyway so I’m fine to start without it in the first place 
haha thats funny, sofirn shakes their heads why anyone would want a raw unfinished light…
I think that the beauty of a rough and used tool does not fit in chinese culture.
Barry confirmed that low->high will be possible, he asked for what lettering it should have and I suggested C01S BLF no-ano edition, or if too long C01S BLF edition, or if too long C01S BLF Ed. Any objections or better ideas for the text?
That’s great news Thanks djozz!
So will there be a limit per order per person? I would buy more than one if that’s possible.
C01S BLF edition would be great imho.
How about BLF C01S?
If Sofirn insists on my shortest suggestion, BLF C01S may be better than C01S BLF Ed. . I will keep this one in mind

+1 for BLF C01S (similar to ThorFire’s “BLF Q8”) 
BTW: OP is updated i.a.w. latest news.
Wow nice count me in for the BLF edition!
BLF C01S.
I suppose it’s too late to ask for Firefly mode (FF -> Low -> High). 
It may initially look shiny, with a bit of machining texture, but will dull over time as a natural oxide layer forms.
It is not a matter of too late (production has not started yet) but if a discussion would start on which and how many modes it should have, this would be never ending and consensus never reached (as BLF history proves). It is quite a miracle already that BLF agrees pretty clearly on the mode order (low first) for a BLF C01S, but there consensus very likely stops.
Personally, and I know many others think that too, I think that a twisty flashlight should not have more than 2 modes. I adviced that to Sofirn, but also added that 3 modes could be ok too, and Sofirn still went for the 2 modes. The 3/100 lumen I think is a good choice of Sofirn because I hear both that the 3 lumen low is too low and too high.
Another argument against 3 modes could be that Barry told me that the C01S does not use PWM for the low mode, which implies I think that adding an extra mode requires a hardware change: more and different components on the driver.
