No, it is screwed.
Donât touch the PCB. The threaded part is actually part of the pill.

Thanks SammyHP and Unheard, it's clearer to me now. So the way to go is to:
Correct?
Yes. Before applying heat, see if you get it loose without. A lighter is very hot, not recommended.
We talked about these 45° Lens,glad you like them.
The Beam is larger but also dimmed than stock lens. For outdoor Iâll try 20° or frosted 25° white holder that need be removed 2.11⏠10% OFF|10 stĂźcke 13mm CREE LED Objektiv 10 30 45 60 90 Grad XPE2 XPG2 XTE Epiled/Semiled 3535 3030 Emitter Plano Reflektor Kollimator|Objektive| - AliExpress
For outdoor, maybe the original optics will do. It gives a lot of throw. I recommend using a 219C at 4000K, that gives a nice beam and a larger hotspot. This is my only C01S still with original optics.
Thought the Led die size on TIR lens had no effect for the hotspot width. Good to know it does
Also,maybe in real there is small difference betwin frosted 25° and 45 ° lens
I had to apply moderate heat, using a hair dryer, then unscrew very hard using two pliers.
Once opened, I replaced the stock optic with a 20° Shamian (frosted) from Yajiamei Optics, like I did to successfully improve the beam of my Skilhunt E3A.
No more rings, but although I don't have a way to measure it, I notice a noticeable decrease in brightness WRT the original optic, both in direct lighting and in a ceiling bounce test.
A piece of DC film on the original optic gives as good a result on the beam, without any noticeable brightness loss.
Strangely I had not noticed such a dimming effect on the E3A with the Yajiamei optic, but maybe I did not compare both options carefully enough.
Mine didnât have a threadlocker, I can unscrew the bezel easily.
Itâs not glued on my non-ano BLF version either. But itâs the one light I kinda wish had glue (I know, I could do it myself). On multiple occasions the âpillâ section has gotten stuck in the battery tube (turned on) while the bezel comes off in my hands. Tears my fingers up getting the pill section back out. Come to think of it, maybe I did go ahead and put threadlocker on it last time it did that.
Clear spot TIR.
Got the light yesterday. Today the driver died.
I didnât do anything special, just turned the light on with the AAA that I used with it before, it blinked and died.
I contacted Sofirn alreadyâŚ.
Had similar issues on grey C01S. Have you check rear spring?
I took it out with fine pliers and cleaned the bottom of tube with cloth and alcohol
Yes, I checked the tube. Itâs fine, but I get 0V at the LED wires.
Hi all,
I like this light so much that I already ordered six in total, in different colors: they make nice gifts.
My only complaint is that, except for the non-ano version, the head is a bit too easy to turn, hence making me fear either unwanted activation or head loss, all the more so as there is very little clearance between "off" and "o-ring exposed".
I don't think there is room for a thicker o-ring, maybe a very thick lube would do?
Thanks in advance for your advice and lube recommendations.
The lube gets thicker with use. Fast.

No more hotspot, just good olâ flood.
nice pebbled Tir upgrade
I like the nice floody beam for indoor distances
these are Ti3 lights, with pebble and reflector
it is nice to have different Tir options
here is the link to the Tir I used, thanks to info from moderator007
I dont know if they fit the C01S and C01R, have not tried⌠but my guess is yes
reflector w 219b 4500k on left, clear Tir w 219b 3000k on right
Are there any more coming into stock soon with âBLFâ engraved?
Is it just the unanodised version that has âBLFâ engraved on it (as opposed to âSofirnâ)?

The original no-ano run had âBLFâ printed on it, while the later had âSofirnâ printed on it. Iâm fairly sure the BLF print wasnât, and wonât be continued
Is it just the unanodised version that has âBLFâ engraved on it (as opposed to âSofirnâ)?
Yes, and the later no-ano version was sandblasted, so the BLF edition remains unique. Or is the sandblasted version unique? Iâve read that this finishing was done by accident, not ordered by Sofirn.
Cheers to you both.
