indoor distances are shorter than some outdoor distances
something at arms reach,
a plate of food while seated at a table,
does not need a lot of lumensā¦
no matter indoor or outdoorā¦ the key is the distance you want to illuminate
the door handle to the toilet indoorsā¦ the zipper pull on a tent door outdoorsā¦ the keyhole on the car doorā¦ all these things are within hands reachā¦ so the same lumens sufficeā¦ no matter indoor or outā¦ its all about the distance
The C01 is a 7 lumen light. As a rule of thumb thats good for distances of 7 feet or less.
Yes and no. Itās not a ābareā LED with silicone coating or dome. Itās a 5 mm LED with hard plastic housing, sitting in an aluminum āreflectorā.
correct, that is normal, no glass lens needed nor available.
the 5mm LED is manufactured with a waterproof optical dome, and installed with an O ring around the base. No water or dirt can get into the electronics.
if you had ever seen a Fenix E01 (which cost more and was not High CRI), it had the same no glass lens. It is a very durable design.
Thanks Jon and Sammy! I was surprised that there is no glass lense but I donāt think sofirn will forgot the lense there must be something Iām missing. Lol
This is the first kind of light I have with this design. Very interesting.
Just adding to the dataset. Received order from Sofirn website, blue and orange not potted, all other colours potted (didnāt order brown so canāt comment).
Thereās some variation in the tint though and unfortunately for me the potted ones look the worst.
Also, the new colours are very nice, the green is lovely, as are the blue and red (now deeper / richer).
What is the best solder league to put on the positive driver contact to protect it from scratch?
In the past I used Sn-Pb 60/40 but after a little use it blackened and had to be cleaned, I thought it was caused by the presence of lead
Nice find but I already have some thin nickel plated brass sticks.
my question was about the marks on positive driver pad caused by battery pole
I wanted fix it with a small solder blow from an alloy that does not form oxide and more hard than SN/PB.
