[Available again! - BLF special edition light] new Sofirn AAA twisty high CRI 5mm LED

Perfect!

A rugged storage tube with a battery test function, so you’ll always know if the battery is above 0.6V! :wink:

all very good points, and i agree….im just saying from a kids perspective, at least when i was little, i liked flashlights that were bright, not dim

Haha, despite having some of the original C01 lights and a bunch of C01S…I also couldn’t resist this price, especially not with so many anodizing options.
I need to start giving more away as gifts, or my peers will (correctly) start thinking that I have a problem!

Does anyone know if sofirn will be fulfilling aliexpress orders? Ordered a 3400k when they first showed up there a while back which hasnt been dispatched. Dont want to miss out!

Roger that Unhead… but i didn’t see any “Barry” participation over on dedicated C01R thread

…and it’s hard to get a straight answer using other platforms

He’ll answer a PM. You could even send him a WA message. He cares a lot for this community.

C01R not available at moment on site and my order include it,still not shipped.
Does your order was sent?

Barry & Penny plan to take long Hawaiian vacation with Pre-order funds

If any money is left over after having fun. The C01R will (maybe) ship at end of November (:

Edit: Sofirn Succatash this is wrong thread. Oops, Sorry!

Neither 670nm nor 3400K lights are shipped yet.

I ordered two 5mm 670nm C01 from sofirnlight
I have order confirmation

I do not expect shipping confirmation until after 11/11/2020

I was excited about this at first—especially given the price—but then I was trying to figure at what the c01 5mm succeeds that the C01S doesn’t. Both are cri 95. The C01S (L-H) has low mode but also has the added versatility of a high mode, and it’s only 3bucks more. I also hate to pay 3usd shipping on a 4usd light.

Someone talk me into it.

Not sure how, it has something to do with simplicity and robustness, if those are most important to you, buy the C01. The C01S is pretty robust too, but having more moving parts, there is a bit more that can go wrong.
For me, what also counts is that thanks to rngwn I have a small collection of 5mm leds with great CCT’s and under BBL tints that I can swap into the C01, those are not easy found in 3535-size leds.

Floody beam on the C01, rather than throwy on the C01s. Warmer color temperature, and in my experience, better overall tint. Also better efficiency, I think, but I haven’t tried a controlled comparison.

I’m not worried about talking you into it. It appeals to some people, but not everyone. Personally, I really like the C01.

Fair enough. I’m convinced.

Anyone found some kind of comparison “C01 with 670nm RED” vs “C01S RED 660nm?

Free shipping for orders over $21. :laughing:

Has this been solved somehow?

After reading your post I was waiting for Sofirn to contact me, but that didn’t happen.

> Has this been solved somehow?

yes
I requested and received a refund for all my pending orders

I then reordered two C01 5mm Red 670nm.

I did not reorder the C01R, even though I like the 3 modes, because I already have one, and I decided the C01 single mode Red would make a simpler gift for a muggle.

The application is for red light therapy, for migraine and menstrual pain. The beam artifacts dont matter for that. And the single mode will ensure the battery has long life.

Clever :+1:
