Why C01R have thicker positive contact and C01 still tiny contacts driver?
Seem already marked by battery and may be a weak point.
It hasn’t been improved
Don’t worry. One of my first batch C01 got lots of use, multiple times a day. Estimate the years you’ll likely spend on earth, divide by two and buy as many lights to be safe .
Frankly don’t need a lot of them for myself
It’s not the first time that it turn on just touching the head involuntary
To avoid that you have to do half twist off,because threads are a bit sloppy and clean contacts often
Yesterday I received my latest order of C01 lights (with the new led) + 1 CO1S !
3 of them will be given to kids of friends (blue, green, orange all with diffusers).
The other orange C01 and the orange C01S will be kept
Here’s the whole collection, with the original black / red / blue C01 (top right), the “sandblasted” C01S (middle bottom), and a red C01R (right bottom)
Things I would like to note (sorry if someone did it before):
- the colour of the new Sophia led is different (3400K vs 3200K of tyhe previous), is less warm than the Yuji, and outer edge of the side spill seems to be slighly greenish, unlike the Yuji that has no variations
- it also has a narrower “hotspot”, if compared with the red/blue C01 with Yujis (the original black versions that had a completely “flat” beam no hotspots)
- I thought the orange was a little darker, but I’m ok with this colour
the new blue is also darker than the original one, and the green is probably the best anodizing colour
I guess so or maybe the leds are in a different position towards the reflector! And indeed, they are really funny lights. I guess this orange one will be a “user”, and I’ll keep the others as “relics”
What would be the best way for the potted versions to sand the reflector (and LED)? Just try it all assembled? Or push out the driver (just press on the LED)?
As I recall, there was one report of one C01 from the first batch not having an o-ring around the led and this incident has been quoted many times in this thread, and as things go nowadays, things that are repeated enough become the new reality.
