It ships to Australia too. There were a fair few countries in the list.
Not sure if the German Amazon warehouse also ships to the UK but it might be worth a try if you can wait until August 2020. Sofirn told me they will also sell C01R on Amazon. I suppose they mostly use their German warehouse for European customers but they also have domestic (Amazon) warehouses in Italy and UK already.
Thanks, but canāt see the C01R on there, just the S.
Thanks , where are you seeing that? The only shipping details i can see are āShipping costā under which there is āPlease select the country you want to ship fromā, but when i click on it the drop down list is empty and thereās a āNo optionalā statement.
Edit: - Ohhh, turns out that if i select the number of packs i want i then get the full shipping list! So all sorted, thank you all for you help
Thanks. I had a look on Amazon.de but couldnāt see this light. I can wait though
Ah, I get the same āNo optional!ā when I load the page and click āUnited States viaā
You need to select ācolor: Pack of 1ā first, then click āUnited States via Standard Shipping from Chinaā and then choose your country from the drop-down menu that pops up.
It may be a bug with the website. When you first load the page thereās no item selected. It doesnāt seem to know what shipping option to use.
Thanks TimMc, had just figured out the same and edited my post Though i was going a bit mental there for a moment.

Hi Marc, for Sofirnās eBay Storefront, do an advance search by sellerās user ID: sofirnlight
Both the C01R and C01S are still listed as of this moment. One can also contact the seller with questions. Best of luck!
Glad you worked it out!
Forgot about the eBay store.
I wouldnāt worry about AE. I havenāt had any problems with them. The search sucks but as long as you know which store you want to buy from then the rest is easy. Iāve only had one faulty item that I had to claim through AE, it was very smooth and painless. For extra protection you can use PayPal, they charge a small fee but then you have added buyer protection with PayPal. I used to use PayPal, but now use a prepaid USD credit card to save a bit on the FX. No problems.
Anyone else notice the Sofirnlight website updated the images from a red C01S to what seem to be actual images of a C01R?
A pleasant surprise was found in my mailbox today. Just nine days after the shipping notice from Sofirn, the little deep red light arrived today. For the price an absolute AWESOME little torch. Well packaged, two O-rings included and and even the detailed manual. I couldnāt be happier and will test it at my next telescope watch night. The spill is very even and I absolutely like the low-mid-high mode. The first will probably be enough for my purpose, high is pretty bright, even under daylight conditions. Once itās gettin dark I will disco today!
A big thank you goes out to Lux-Perpetua, Barry and Sofirn. After the delightful LT1 now this little gem - I absolutely appreciate the fruitful cooperation between BLF and Sofirn (and of course spread the word)!
Glad to see theyāre starting to turn up! Youāll have to let us know what itās like once it gets dark :).
Mine was shipped on the 27th May, but still hasnāt arrived :(.
Wow! I hope C01R has the red color shown in those pictures. It looks amazing!
This is the red anodization already known from C01 and C01S if Iām not mistaken. A more muted, darker red was discussed but eventually discarded.
It looks different than the pictures of C01S I have seen. This red seems a lot more saturated.
It seems that there are also new colors available for C01S. Black, red, blue, non-ano, orange, desert tan, and green.

Yes. But matte colors, as it was planned for the C01R, are not possible for Sofirn. Dunno why. Theyāre all glossy. Well, maybe itās a different red, that would be nice.
Iām not the only one in Germnany who received the light today. In the taschenlampen-forum user the_holodoc posted some nice pictures that do it pretty much justice (its really hard to make a adequate photograph because the intensity isnāt properly reflected). Iām not sure if it is allowed to link - just google: taschenlampen-forum c01r and use the link in post #124. High mode indeed gets warm very quickly.
Barry also sent me these pictures and said this is the look that represents the actual body color of C01R as real as it gets. It seems they tried to make a red that is at least a bit more saturated and darker to get as close to āwine redā as possible. What a nice surprise! I guess the result is really good.
Thanks for the credits and many thanks to all of you for your confidence in this whole idea of a deep red keychain light. Without your interest this light would not have come to existence.
My C01R is still en route, so you will probably have the great honor to be the first to share some impressions with us on BLF. :-)
I just read that this user measured following currents with an 1.45V AAA Eneloop battery and a Mastech MS8268 multimeter:
Low = 15mA
Medium = 105mA
High = 2.500 - 2.800mA :-O (no error with the decimal point)
