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 don’t think sofirn will forgot the lense there must be something I’m 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 (didn’t order brown so can’t comment).
There’s 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.
you could sweat solder a small piece of sheet silver on there instead, it`s a better material than gold (or anything else) even it`s oxide conducts as well! it`s also a soft metal. I replace all sorts of flashlight parts with pure silver, it`s worth getting some in (for everyone into repair and modding).
