Sofirn C01R deep red [sold out, discontinued]

It does that in the beginning. I had the same feeling but after few days I got used to it. Now I'm only using 660nm for night activity of any kind. White light got a big distraction now.

Maybe the cause is the Narrow band light that over some lumens alters your perception.
Hope your problem is momentary as I keep seeing red for a while.
Be cautious to use max power with C01R and others native colored Leds.

Thanks Sari, there’s no permanent damage :slight_smile: .

Where is the C01R deep red available?

Nowhere - it is sold out and isn’t produced anymore.

Will there ever be a new batch of this lights produced?
I destroyed mine last week and really need a new one…

I see it on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32967363356.html

Oh they are different? Hmm, I just ordered 2 of them, hope I didn’t miss out on anything important.

I have a C01 red - very dim, not much wow. C01R is a whole different story.

Maybe we could get a group buy going and convince them to make one more run of them. I’m in for 5 at $10 or less each.

I don’t think they’ll make another batch. Maybe if 500 for $15 each are guaranteed.

I had 3 but I gave one away, I’m definitely not giving away any of the 2 I have left. I use mine all the time. I also have a d4v2 in deep red and it’s amazing but the c01r is just so handy when I’m up with the kids at night.

The one I ordered is 670 which is a deep red for night vision: that’s the one I’d want, I thought? The more common orangey red led is 635nm if I’m not mistaken. I also ordered a 3400K warm white. Got charged the full shipping amount for each one but still seems like a heck of a deal.

Added: if C01R is really better/different I’m ok pledging $15 towards one if they are made in say the next year. Don’t want to be held to it forever.

Added 2: D4v2 with deep red main leds is pretty bold, wow. I think it might be possible to replace the aux leds with red ones. No idea where to actually get deep red smt leds though.

That’s C01, not C01R. C01 only has one setting and no optics. C01R has L-M-H settings and TIR.Different emitter too iirc.

If all you want is low level light, the red C01 is OK.

Yeah in the case of a red light for night vision, I surely want dim rather than bright.

Meanwhile I notice the regular C01 is on sale at sofirnlight.com for $3.99 but the red led is out of stock. Also the C01S which is a 2 level light (I guess descended from the BLF light?) is $7.99. I think I will order one.

The CO1 with unknown Red LED is amazing, just a perfect “dimmnes” for a night light,

please consider bringing this back!
higher price (maybe +50%) would be better than not being able to buy one at all!

This.
I’d easily pay $15 for one of them

We need to ask them for terms to order another run of them. Someone on here may be willing to order 100 or so to hold and sell so they dont have to keep the inventory. That way when they run out there would still be a source for a while.
