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

NT45 · 2019-11-20T09:57:33.000Z

I bought this light, in blue color, directly from Sofirn 22 days ago, 2 days after I complete the purchase it said that it was “Shipped” and I received the tracking number. All good,nice.
But to my surprise after all this time the tracking number still shows “Logistic order has been created”. This is strange, so I messaged Sofirn asking about it and a lady said: “C01s is short of stock, so we have not send it yet”.

It’s not my first time buying from them and I never had a problem, but I think this is not the most correct way, they should have told me that before I complete the purchase. Or am I wrong? Did it ever happened to any of you before? On their page it says that they have 40’s units of each color, except red… strange.

Yes, it happened to me twice with Sofirn. Same situation has happened with BLF edition of C01S, they essentially told me where to stick it, didn’t even say they’re sorry. I understand that they are mainly wholesaler and manufacture for different brands but it would be nice if they would work on their customer service a bit.

I ordered the BLF C01S in time, but got a blue C01S. Maybe they thought that was better than nothing . Fortunately someone over at TLF sold his sample to me, and actually yes, the blue one was better than nothing. Got my money back and kept it.

NT45 · 2019-11-20T15:08:30.000Z

Perhaps they are getting larger and their customer service instead of improving is deteriorating. It is strange because I had a completely different impression of Sofirn, so far.

P33 · 2019-11-20T15:55:09.000Z

Yes, it used to be much better. Now I’d rather not buy from them.

Someone should definitely verify mode groups with them

It also shows the silver but the silver color is sold out. Gray is available with no pictures.

That’s the common High-Low model right? The version that people are waiting on to be available again is the Low-High model.

maukka · 2019-11-25T18:44:22.000Z

Ah, thanks, didn’t know that. I’ll cancel my order for the red one and get the silver/grey L-H instead.

gottobegeek · 2019-11-25T19:46:22.000Z

I just bought the grey BLF edition for $8.99.

Very curious to see if this is in fact a new grey, or another run of the raw edition. Fingers crossed it’s more raw.

clearly says this in description;

Operation Instruction:

When OFF, screw down the battery case to turn on and modes from low-high; unscrew the battery case to turn off.

When On, unscrew the battery case to turn off and then rapidly screw down the battery case to change mode; no memory function and default brightness is High mode

So no bawling when you get one and it is H-L like the colored ones.

Cut and paste most likely. It clearly says low to high in the name.

Muto · 2019-11-26T20:26:37.000Z

Good point.
Pray for the best, hope for the worst, still a great light.
Have both versions, the colored ones with High default is good for day use.

Chatika_vas_Paus · 2019-11-26T20:42:33.000Z

I was curious about this gray and asked. Gray is raw sandblasted.

djozz · 2019-11-26T21:26:18.000Z

That is a bit different then from the first no-ano batch which was not sandblasted, just straight from the CNC.

Will have to check this one out I guess

contactcr · 2019-11-26T22:06:53.000Z

Bah you asked about the color and not the modes!

Chatika_vas_Paus · 2019-11-26T22:12:01.000Z

I also asked about the modes and asked for some photos, but I haven’t received an answer yet.
