I need some guidance. My son still hasn’t learned to check the pockets before putting clothes in the washing machine, and one of my C01Ss took a bath. Now it will only come on on Low. I opened it up and cleaned the contacts, and put in a fresh EBL NiMH cell, but no change. Is there anything I can try to see if I can get the High mode back?
I just tested it again, doing several twist-on, twist-off cycles. It did come on on High once out of a half dozen attempts, which says to me that it might just be moisture causing the problem. I am going to take the head completely off and the cell out and leave it overnight to see if it makes any difference.
Put it a bag of rice like people do with wet cellphones, it will pull moisture. you can use an pair of stockings to hold the rice and put both in gallon zip lock for a few days.
HTH
What are the changes / improvement (?) of Sofirn C01S from its predecessor C01? The latter is only about US$6, whereas the former is now selling for about US$9 in Sinigapore’s Shopee and Lazada websites.
80 PCS Small Magnets, 5x3mm Mini Magnets Round, Tiny Magnets Small Magnets for Crafts, Strong Office Magnets for Whiteboard, Fridge, Home, Kitchen, Office Amazon.com would these be good?
Convoy actually has 5mm diameter x 3mm thick magnets on their Aliexpress store. He advertises them as temporary buttons for flat top batteries, so strength might not have been a priority in sourcing them, but Simon generally sells quality stuff, so I’d personally try his magnets versus a random Amazon seller.
Yes, it’s easier to get them to hang upside down than to resist sliding down a smooth surface or peel off because of the center of gravity being far from the attachment point.
I got a couple of C01 for the kids as a bribe, and now as an additional bribe I’m tempting them with phosphorescent tubes for the back. Any recommendations?
For myself I also got a C01/C01r/C01S trio. Really happy with them. Anyone has any backstory how to Red version came about as it seems a bit of an outlier. I would love to have the options to get similar in different colours … because … why not.
Barry came up with the red LED when Sofirn decided to reissue the C01 using rngwns LED. He warned that the beam is not very good and even showed a beamshot, but no one complained and some asked for it. At that time 670 nm was hip due to a medical paper.
Edit: was talking about the red C01, not the C01R.
Looking for guidance. I have seen references to using a 10440 cell in a C01s. What are the implications? Poof? Shorter LED life? How much brighter? So far I’m happy with the NiMh AAAs I’m suing (EBL)
