[Closed] Sofirn C01S with Nichia E21A 98CRI R9050/9080

Make a poll?

I agree. If only 2 are feasible, then 2000K and 4500K are the best choices IMO.

3500K is my favorite

My vote for 2000K and 4500K.

It’s very sad to hear that, I really hoped for the 3500K version.

2000k for sure,I hope they will sell also these leds already soldered on boards on site

I will set up a poll for these three tints soon. Whether we get Sofirn convinced to offer THREE tints or only TWO tints will probably depend on...

A) the total accumulated demand of this light

B) if Sofirn‘s supplier(s) can get all tints we are asking for.

My guess is that we need to have at least 250 pcs of each tint to meet break-even.

Very interested in 2000K, please put me down for two, depending on price I could possibly buy three or more to gift some.

Ready made (not modded) 2000K CCT flashights seem pretty hard to find, so I think 2000K should definitely be offered and will fill a niche.

Very warm white flashlights being so unusual and difficult to find, a 2000K version would also make a great gift imho.

Definitely looking forward to seeing this flashlight materialise.

Update:

The poll is online: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/72885

OP is updated, too.

Yes!!! I need this in my life! I would buy all three tints! I would prefer a floody optic or mule. Like the C01.

Interested!! 4500k is my favourit!

I don’t want or need R9050, the 219C is R9050 that is quite nice but I’ve never thought it was really worth it, so if I would pick a tint as warm as possible with excellent CRI it would be an optisolis or E21A 2700K R9080. For a second one, anythink between 3500K to 6500K as long as it is a R9080 LED.
But anyway, it’s just my personnal preferences.

Here is my attempt a capturing a C01R moonlight beam on a white wall. There is a distinct irregular spot in the center. It may be hard to see on your computer or cell phone. I believe in the C01R thread someone was asking about a defect in the TIR. I think it is just a characteristic of the TIR optic used. I don’t mind too much for the C01R considering the cost and because you typically can’t see it in normal use. However if the same TIR is used for white light I am guessing some of the CRI babies around here will complain about it. Worth considering an upgrade for the E21a model?
