[Available again! - BLF special edition light] new Sofirn AAA twisty high CRI 5mm LED

I dont know if I am lucky or what but I got my first light in about 1 week. I did not pay for shipping and was my first time using alibaba so got an extra $3 off for $3.50 total price. I looooove the light so I bought two more!

If you got your light in a week…… you are far beyond “lucky”, you are among ’The Chosen’!!! :smiley: . :smiley:

Congrats…… :+1:

lol… “about a week”… ha ha ha… you must be dreaming

Exactly 7 days!

congratulations… it must be me thats dreaming
my first 2 took over 30 days

so far, my reality distortion field is consistent

glad you live in an AlternateUniverse
LOL

Im pretty sure California is closer to China than New York, unless, China ships things intended for California, westward through Europe, making NY closer… wonders never cease

Got my black 5600k C01 today (ordered 21st Dec, so not bad with Xmas delays).
First impresions, a nice well made torch, lovely small size, NW has good tint
(hope the 3200k isn’t too orange :-). clip seems fine. i’d already jumped in and ordered
a Red in 3200k and a blue in 5600k when they were released a few days ago, and am glad i did.
I tried a fresh Costco alkaline and a used Energizer alkaline with 1.3v left in it, I fished out
of my battery recycle bin, I couldn’t see any difference in output, looks fine with Energizer.
will leave it on overnight to see if torch is a true vampire and will drain every volt out,
hope it does, will update this later.

UPDATE #1:
24hrs later, torch still giving out very usable light on Energizer, now showing .75v.

cannot confirm. am in europe, waiting since 8 weeks.
I am afraid the ship sunk, hope nobody got killed.

That is a good one, I love it!!! . :smiley: . :+1:

I just used superglue to stick the magnets in the slot. Wish the magnets were a little more stronger as they will hold the light only on a even flat surface. I got them from the fasttech link.

Two, ordered 11/20, still “in transit in country of origin”

wow, sorry to hear
longest I had to wait was 32 days.

maybe time to sink or swim
if you dont get it within 60 days, make a claim for refund

or order more,
I hear that sometimes works to get the first order to arrive… LOL

Weird, my C01 with magnet sticks fine horizontally, that magnet was also from Fasttech.Maybe there is a lot variation in magnetisation in the magnets for sale. Anyone has experience with that?

Looks like there are others like me who haven’t received their Sofirn C01 — I believe I was one of the first to order the C01 — I ordered last 11/11/2018.
For some reason, Sofirn only actually shipped my C01 on 12/31/2018. The tracking info indicates it has reached my country and should be ready to claim in our Post Office soon though… That’s already over 60 days (I asked AliExpress system to extend the Buyer Protection Period).

I got mine, Im still In shock Guys!. LOL!.

I hope that’s a good thing?? . :wink:

Mine took 57 days after shipping to Portugal…

wow I like that red color

Yes, it looks good in reality too.

And I’m happy to report that they managed to sort out the clip, it is a new, well-fitting clip, not made out of cheese, and I find the stiffness precisely right.
