That looks a new type of diffusor, and it seems like not silicone but another plastic. The length makes for a more even light distribution, more to the side than the short types. Except the Q8 diffusor, that will still direct a lot of light upwards.
3.77 dollar for two tiny pieces of plastic (worth a few cents it looks like) is too expensive. I want to hear of some pretty awesome features before I buy those.
nice :sunglasses:
I was going to get 2 C01s along with a few other lights during the big AX sale.
But in that case wil hold off on the 2 C01S untill we can get the BLF edition
Hi Barry, they look good and look like they will diffuse well. Looks like they are not made of silicone but a harder plastic, right?
I think the price is too high, especially the small ones may not sell well because of the price.
@Barry, acetal/POM plastic is actually perfect for a diffuser, as it can resist to high temperature, is extremely tough(meaning it won’t get destroyed like acrylic), and most importantly, has extremely good light distribution properties since its thickness is usually very uniform.
I’ve seen worse to be honest. The XP-G3 is known for it’s ugly beam / tintshift but Lumintop used a pebble-design TIR lens on the EDC01, so the beam is both floodier and more smoothed. But I agree that C01S’ beam looks much more appealing in comparison to any other AAA light I have tried out so far.
I just got my C01s in. I really like it, the high and low are both very usable and the tint and CRI is nice… I don’t notice ugly green on low like this led is supposed to have. It does get warm on high with extended use and that’s expected. This will be a great backup light for me. Debating on adding a magnet to this.
I’m absolutely in for a BLF version with low- high.
I have been using this light for a few days. The low is really useful and brighter than the lumens number suggests. I have been mostly using the low mode but the high is very bright as well. I like this led/optic combination. I paired this up with my lumintop IYP365 head on an aaa tool body. The low on the C01s appears about the same as the medium on the lumintop combo.
Is there any updates for the BLF version?
Low/high would be much better for daily use.
