interested 2000K - 4500K
Maybe interested.
Best tints: 4500K, 3500K, 2000K
Very good tints: 5000K, 4000K, 3000K, 2700K
Good tints: 6500K, 5700K
Tint inferior to all other as of maukka’s tests (avoid): 2200K
For a complete range: 2000K, 3000K, 4500K, 6500K
For a practical range: 2700K, 3500K, 4500K, 5700K
Honestly, I’d buy all of them (except 2200K of course)
I’d be 100% in to buy at least one of each/any tint that ends up getting put out. Would buy more if I liked the emitter. I haven’t used the E21A yet and these C01S lights are cheap enough I’d get one of each for experimentation’s sake. Been happy with all the other C01 variants thus far.
As for preferences, I’d prefer to see a L-M-H mode order, no memory, starting on a sub-lumen moonlight mode. I think the new 2 mode-group driver would be ideal. As far as optic vs. mule, whatever makes the beam have less tint-shift would be ideal. I liked the raw/no-ano models that have come out, but I also wouldn’t be opposed to more host colors, like OD green, purple, gold, or pink (not sure if any of those are common Sofirn colors that would be realistic, just ones I like).
10440 support is no deciding factor for me. cool to have it, but I don’t even own any 10440s yet so it wouldn’t be missed if it wasn’t there.
If this is the case, 4500K sounds preferable, as a rosy tint seems much nicer than greenish tints.
4500K … I’m in
Following
In for 4500K with two-mode driver.
This sounds definitely interesting. Depending on the price (is around $15 max reasonable?) I’m interested in at least one.
Interested.
- 4500k-5700k tint
- And 10440 support.

No need for magnet and tritium hole. Make it as compact as possible pls.
Keep the pocket clip

Maukka tested limited samples from single lots that Clemence ordered, and Clemence seems like he has a good connection somewhere in Nichia’s distribution chain to be able to consistently source hard-to-find emitters. So what Maukka tested might tell us very little about the tints of whatever lots Sofirn might get.
I’d recommend people just figure out what color temperatures they want. Bare minimum, the E21A is available in a wide range of CCT’s with stellar CRI. I would be careful about assuming what the DUV will be.
That said, I think Ryzbor is correct that the highest output bins, like D240 at 5000K, are more likely to have an unfavorable tint versus the next output bin down.
2000k and 2700k for sure count me in.
If you can use C01R driver 3 modes
Interested
interested on 2700k-4000k.Atleast 2 modes.
Interested only with 3500 K.
I prefer two modes only.
I have used my Sofirb SF01A and C01S with 10440 and there have been not problems, sometimes but only a few seconds…
Very interested.
Very interest 2000k,please more recessed optic and add glass to protect optic from scratch
Definitely interested at 2700-3500k.
Would it be possible to use C01R driver with 3 modes?
Next I would love to buy C10E (the C10s with E21A)
So here is my idea:
- install the C01S driver (maybe with slight improvements) in the bigger body
- as small as possible, something in style of DQG Tiny AA
- No need of 14500 support, AAs with their higher capacity(comparing with AAAs) would be good enough…

* I’d be interested in 4500K with L-M-H mode sequence, no memory, always starting on low.
- Medium mode should be about 30lm. It would have to run well on AAA NiMH cells, and I’d want a reversible pocket clip so I could put it on the visor of my baseball cap as a headlamp.
- Green tint would be a deal breaker :confounded:

Interested in 4500K, and below, mostly below
Very interested, specially in a warm one, about 2700-3500K, but would buy on a cooler tint if warm isn’t available.
Edit: ¿Would it be possible to make it also with nichia optisolis LEDs?

Would also love an optisolis version!
2000K please
