Great thanks, I didn’t even realize that they don’t use 219B anymore, has PWM
A01 description says
and that can’t be good.
I purchased my c01 with a BLF discount for $ 6.5 On the first day of the appearance of c01S on Aliexpress for $ 8.5, I placed an order without payment and asked for a BLF discount, but I was politely refused. On the second day, the c01S cost $ 11 already. It was such a discount. 
Thank you for that feedback. I almost also asked for a BLF discount on a new C01S, but did not.
Now I am not really interested, as it has not been thru any type of BLF review process. The Hi-Low is not acceptable to me. Is it even potted for durability? What are the run-times?
I am very happy with my C01’s, and hope this thread will continue discussion as such.
Although I am interested in the evolution of the Co1S and comparisons, maybe a new thread should be started?
I couldn’t stand to hear the whining of starting a seperate thread about the new C01S any longer….so, here it is:
I will add supplemental information to the OP in the next hours. Post #2 is reserved for my personal thoughts about this light as soon as it arrives.
Nice job Lux-Perpetua!! . :+1: … 
Looks like M4DM4X found them on Bangood
Mine only took 10 days to Canada. Surprising. A quick inspection shows stiff clips. Quite nice. Great value for $6.5.
Pleased to report the replacements for my lost two flashlights
just came in, sent promptly after they figured out the original order from last year was lost in China Post somewhere.
Great news Hank! Glad they were able to get your order sorted out before running out of lights.
My 5600k C01 with magnet & trit.
Is the magnet strong enough?
ifi ts a neodymium magnet its strong enough.
Not great but good enough
Where are you guys getting the magnets? Using gorilla glue to fix them place?
Yes, it actually is. It has to be a smooth metal surface. I can actually stick this to the side of my refrigerator. However, it’s not as tight a hold as something like an Olight S10 or S15. I went by what others said, to get a magnet 3mm thick. So I went ahead and used super glue to attach the magnet. As you can see, it sits just a little bit low, maybe 0.3 mm. I had presumed the glue would create a buffer, but it slipped around it and allowed the magnet to settle down. It still holds fairly well, but I think if the magnet was totally flush it would be a touch stronger. Acetone will remove super glue, but only on the surface. Even though I applied enough to seep around the magnet, it wasn’t enough to dislodge it. Super glue seems to be an excellent adhesive for this task—it’s really holding on strong!
I bought my magnets from eBay. $1.78 for 20. Slow road from China, as they say, took about 2 weeks. I’d mail out some to a few people, but given the relative cost of postage, it’s far more sensible to just buy your own.
With diffuser, C01 and C01S can be a small lantern.
Finally got my CO1’s today…took a month and a few days
Will this one be strong enough? N50 vs N52 from fasttech
