Here’s a runtime test for a 850mAh 7dayshop NI-MH cell dated 01.2018
30 minutes or so of well regulated light isnt bad considering the CRI & output.
I’ve tested some worn cells and have had some really odd results; probably due to higher IR and the high currents.
No idea where “1hr 21m” came from; maybe time to the point it cuts out ?

30 minutes is not bad at all, I’m a bit impressed even by that: I measured 95 lumen, that should be about 500mA through the led and over 1.5A from the battery. The boost circuitry does not eat too much energy it seems.
Btw, a runtime prediction for the low mode: I measured 2.7 lumen for my BLF version, and it eats 29.6 mA from the battery, if the output is steady that makes for 25 hours on a AAA Eneloop.

GAH! Can’t believe I missed these! WTB! Anyone?
NLD BLF C01S
Looks good.
Works well.
Great little light.
@Sofirn | Barry: please produce another batch.

Question is: if Sofirn thinks a second run BLF version with low-high is a good idea, should it also be unanodised again?

I love my non-ano ones so I agree, and it makes the BLF edition extra special. But I was not sure if a majority thinks that too, hence the question.

I would prefer anodized in a different color. That way the few people who couldnt buy get it and the people who got the blf edition get the new version too.

I sure do like the one I have but it would be nice to have an anodized one also - color doesn’t matter.

My non-anodized one is expected to arrive on Friday (woohoo!), and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it just fine. But I’m not opposed to it being anodized. Either way.

I’d be interested in a new batch as well.

New batch, new color. I think that would be great, plus it would make them more exclusive (one of only 200 :!!!: 8^) ).
Clear anodized, because no anodization means possibility of scratches.
Or, to fulfill my owb dreams, how about a 20$US copper plated Sofirn C01S?

I agree with both! Or brass. My no anodize one is already scratched really ugly and I just got it 5mins ago. It came already with marks.
I don’t mind either way. I just want one, haha.
I’m no expert on anodization but doesn’t it serve to protect the aluminum surface?

I should’ve bought more! I would scoop up two more if there’s another batch, preferably slightly different color or anodization?
