I was excited about this at first—especially given the price—but then I was trying to figure at what the c01 5mm succeeds that the C01S doesn’t. Both are cri 95. The C01S (L-H) has low mode but also has the added versatility of a high mode, and it’s only 3bucks more. I also hate to pay 3usd shipping on a 4usd light.
Not sure how, it has something to do with simplicity and robustness, if those are most important to you, buy the C01. The C01S is pretty robust too, but having more moving parts, there is a bit more that can go wrong.
For me, what also counts is that thanks to rngwn I have a small collection of 5mm leds with great CCT’s and under BBL tints that I can swap into the C01, those are not easy found in 3535-size leds.
Floody beam on the C01, rather than throwy on the C01s. Warmer color temperature, and in my experience, better overall tint. Also better efficiency, I think, but I haven’t tried a controlled comparison.
I’m not worried about talking you into it. It appeals to some people, but not everyone. Personally, I really like the C01.
yes
I requested and received a refund for all my pending orders
I then reordered two C01 5mm Red 670nm.
I did not reorder the C01R, even though I like the 3 modes, because I already have one, and I decided the C01 single mode Red would make a simpler gift for a muggle.
The application is for red light therapy, for migraine and menstrual pain. The beam artifacts dont matter for that. And the single mode will ensure the battery has long life.
Quick question: The photo of the LED pack of the Sophia 3400Ks on the SOFIRN page said „7-8 lumen“. So could we expect an upgrade in the output? And is the Sophia as stable/efficient as the Yuji?
Sorry for the basic questions. This is my first post .
It is a screaming good deal Barry! Thank you for all that you did with this light, it is a niche light and I feel happy to be able to get several. The 670nm red was just icing on the cake!
