Sofirn C01S SST-20 4.000K 95CRI / Low-High version available again!

Just reviewing one now, I’d prefer 1 lumen to 3 tbh so kids can use it for a night light, especially as there’s a diffuser for it.

I’m quite impressed though, I always thought I needed 150 lumens for dangerous dark walks but the light is all in one usable generous hotspot.

A potentially cheaper alternative to tritium is to fill the slot with glow-in the dark material. Obviously that dims away over a couple of hours, but still helps you locate the light for at least a little while.

Flashaholics, it’s interesting how little light you can get by with once you try, isn’t it.

The nightlight idea is interesting. 5+ times the runtime with. I know a user on another forum requested a custom Fenix E01 from Vinh with a Yuji and a resistor mod that dropped the output to 2 lumens.

For a couple years I EDCed a Streamlight Protac EMS. A nice little single AA light. It had like 3,10, and 50 lumens as output. I found that the 50 lumens was more than enough for everyday use, and the medium setting was great for looking under bottom shelves and the odd far corner of the walk-in fridge and freezer, both of which only had one light, mounted on the front wall at top of the door height. Made it a little hard to see what was down lower in the opposite corner.

Any updates for the BLF version?

djozz · 2019-04-14T13:24:39.000Z

Nope. No news AFAIK

djozz · 2019-04-15T06:46:46.000Z

Got this picture this morning, they look like they have no internals yet.
I think it looks good, including stains

Sean_Ingram · 2019-04-15T12:03:57.000Z

Nice. Can’t wait.

Just hope our members understand before they make the order that these will look “Pre-Beat” kind of like new worn jeans that they charge more for.
Maybe they could sell different levels of wear

Thanks for the update!

This is a very useful light (and fun!)

Thanks for the update, I am eagerly awaiting these- I plan on getting a bunch. Regardless of what the lumen levels are rated at, I find the 2 levels to be perfect for use.

MascaratumB · 2019-04-15T17:03:15.000Z

I’ll probably get these on the BLF Edition!

gchart · 2019-04-15T17:05:12.000Z

Yeah, I personally don’t care about the raw aspect of them (I honestly wouldn’t mind them being anodized), but the 2-mode Low-High operation sounds great.

Geoduck · 2019-04-16T01:33:00.000Z

I agree.

A nice flashlight but a bit too long for keys

In turbo, only 30 minutes on white Eneloop.

I can’t say how beautiful they are. You are really good at photographing!

I learned an interesting fact to that I haven’t seen mentioned yet in the discussions on the C01s or the original C01. I used rare earth 5mm x 3mm magnets in both sets of lights. They stick just fine to the side of my (smooth) computer case. I happened to bump one of the today and it fell off. No surprise. But when I went to stick it to the side of the case again, it wouldn’t stay. It turns out that for it to stay horizontal on the side of my case, the magnet must be at the twelve o’clock position, so the weight of the light is pressing the rest of the base against the case. If the magnet is at any other position, the weight is sufficient enough to pull the light away from the case, overcoming the power of the magnetic attraction. It’s always the little things.

Yup, I could see that. Some magnets are stronger than others, too. Out of curiosity, where did you get your magnets? I’m still thinking about getting some.

can this take a 10440 battery?

BlueSwordM · 2019-04-21T18:17:22.000Z

No. It’ll burn the driver.

The C01 certainly not, the C01S no one has tried it. Three options:
*works fine
*works fine but something is damaged so that alkalines and NiMh’s stop working
*the driver fries

Interested in BLF Edition… probably several.

Thanks
