+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.

Now that IS good news. I’m generally not a fan of visible PWM, and many flashlights use visible PWM on lower modes.
This sounds like it’s going to be a awesome light. Why is it going to be such a limited run (i think someone said 200 pcs). Since this is better than the normal version because of LH and no-ano cool factor. Wouldn’t like 500 pcs sell or even just another item thats not limited. In my oppinion this could be the BLF A6 of aaa lights. I want to buy 3 or 4 of them depending on the price, 2 for me, 1 for my lil bro and possibly 1 for someone else.
C01S BLF / Raw Edition

BLF C01S / ’Raw’
I gave up on getting anything ordered through AliExpress, and ordered one from Bang good. It costs five dollars more than the price I should have gotten it for an Aliexpress, but at least I will have one.
Is trying to achieve 4000k the only reason for the emmiter change?
This is a different light than the C01. The C01 was a single mode, low powered light, the C01S is a high powered 2 mode light. You cannot get 100 lumens out of a single Yuji 5MM LED.
Gotcha. What is the output of the Yuji model?
6-8 lumens depending on the color temperature.
Output 3200K C01 ~5lm
Output 5600K C01 ~7lm
6 for warm, 8 for cool according to the Ali page.
That is a conciderable increase. Is anyone working on a group buy or do we just request a discount on the website?
Not a group buy for this one, but there will be a BLF edition that is slightly different.
I think 3 & 100 is a good compromise. Ideally I’d have ML, 5, 20, 100 but that would probably be a bit hectic, and annoy the hell out of people who only want two modes.
If we were to do more than 2 modes, I’d like 1, 10, 100, but I’d rather just save Sofirn the headache of trying to make a decision based on us forumers and go with 3 and 100.
Amen to that!! :+1:
They would have to make ’at least’ a hundred different options for the C01S, and that still would not cover all the different requests….
