I couldn't resist that $12 deal as I really like the C3 (I did some testing on a previous purchase but gave that unit away).
I measured 4.4A on a 25R, ~1600 lumens plus a proving ground comparison showed me it's between 1500-2000 lumens. The output is consistent on the two units I have/had. As for the overcharging, the indicator light turns green at 4V and I may just have to charge any batteries for it with a separate charger when I can't keep an eye on it.
Out doors the light is very bright and seems to throw further than it should with its wide beam.
Indoors i notice my led is off center. The oddest pattern i’ve seen out of a light so far.
From the outside theres a yellow circle followed by a white square and inside off center of that is the round hotspot.
I’ll probably see what some D-C fix does to it
Not really an indoor light as it's easier to ignore the TIR(?) artifacts outside. DC fix should be a great solution!
Muto and Zappaman - Thanks! Snagged 4 so we shall see. The crappy C8 clones that my kids have abused for years need to be replaced.
Hopefully these fit the bill.
:+1: *got home from TG this evening and just double checked and the battery in my S11c is indeed the better 3000mAh Sofirn. So I am sure it came with that battery (which is a great fit for this light)!
I echo semtex41's thanks. I first saw the S11 on Sofirn's website and could only order the XP-L version. Little did I know it was on Amazon. I ordered 2 for the kids as well! Made my Black Friday more interesting :)
Glad some people got hold of some of these S11c lights this week. For the extra few bucks you are getting a decent 18650, USB C cord, and lanyard in a nicely made light WITH a magnetic tail also- FROM Amazon! -not bad at all guys and gals 
I WISH Sofirn would put the better emitter into the S11b (with it’s ramping mode). I’d love a nicer 5k(ish) tint in a little ramping light like this. But the 6.5k XP-L is pretty blue (in the current S11b) and it’s not a light I’d use in a heavy rain storm (or much outdoors) and really… the S11c’s current IU and super emitter really is perfect for my bedside (and any indoor) use. Barry at Sofirn made a good call there, and I’ll buy a few more when they come back into stock (at Sofirn).

nope. only wanted to post that just this once.
I’m intimidated by the shape of that probe. Looking at a colonoscopy later this month. 
Might be useful for after, just to be safe … 
scheduled my colonoscopy today….for February.

Too much information, LOL! :)
I like customer question #2…“is this a gluten free product?” “yes”
Wuben E05 is $17.70 on Amazon right now. As low as I have ever seen it.
Had to list that deal didn’t you!
Killer light with battery and strong magnet. Great regulation as well.
Made me buy my third of these.
Put a Luxeon V2 3000k in one and it is bliss.
Next one will get a 4000K
The page said I’ll get another $.98 back in Amazon rewards for using the card so that helps on some of the sales tax anyway.
Thanks for the heads Up!!
Later

My biggest grex about my SP10s is that there’s no way to tell how much juice it has left.
This might be a good “replacement”…
Does the battery level indicator on Wuben E05 only work when using Li-Ion cell or does it also show correctly when using NiMH/AA?
