Might need to get additional c01s. Potted is green and black only right?

The non-ano silver C01S is not in stock for some time

80 PCS Small Magnets, 5x3mm Mini Magnets Round, Tiny Magnets Small Magnets for Crafts, Strong Office Magnets for Whiteboard, Fridge, Home, Kitchen, Office Amazon.com would these be good?

Those are the right size. The strength and quality of the neodymium magnets can vary a good bit from my experience with them.

There is a 5×5 size would that have more sticking power even with the same surface area for sticking?

If you don’t mind that it protrudes about 2mm past the end of the slot of the CO1S

Edit - I would stick with the 5×3mm, even the weak ones had just enough strength to hold the CO1S on a vertical surface.

Convoy actually has 5mm diameter x 3mm thick magnets on their Aliexpress store. He advertises them as temporary buttons for flat top batteries, so strength might not have been a priority in sourcing them, but Simon generally sells quality stuff, so I’d personally try his magnets versus a random Amazon seller.

So I’m not the best at physics but that would be the ultimate test right? It would be easier for them to hang upside down?

shirnask · 2022-01-04T22:14:00.000Z

Yes, it’s easier to get them to hang upside down than to resist sliding down a smooth surface or peel off because of the center of gravity being far from the attachment point.

I got a couple of C01 for the kids as a bribe, and now as an additional bribe I’m tempting them with phosphorescent tubes for the back. Any recommendations?

For myself I also got a C01/C01r/C01S trio. Really happy with them. Anyone has any backstory how to Red version came about as it seems a bit of an outlier. I would love to have the options to get similar in different colours … because … why not.

Barry came up with the red LED when Sofirn decided to reissue the C01 using rngwns LED. He warned that the beam is not very good and even showed a beamshot, but no one complained and some asked for it. At that time 670 nm was hip due to a medical paper.

Edit: was talking about the red C01, not the C01R.

Looking for guidance. I have seen references to using a 10440 cell in a C01s. What are the implications? Poof? Shorter LED life? How much brighter? So far I’m happy with the NiMh AAAs I’m suing (EBL)

dont think that battery is meant to be used, could be wrong tho…

defloyd77 · 2022-04-07T18:53:31.000Z

This light is not “supposed” to take a 10440. No idea as to what would happen if one were to be used.

iamlucky13 · 2022-04-08T05:08:10.000Z

Click “search within thread” at the top of the page and do a search for “10440.”

You’ll find a decent number of posts about it. Experience seems to be mixed whether or not it will hurt the light.

i just got 2 of the C01S from the close out sale for the desert tan (brown) color.

The Low mode is the default and seems really bright for only 3 lemons, but the High mode will shoot your eye out.

Sari33 · 2022-07-24T22:04:40.000Z

How much you paid them each?
There was a promo of 2.99$ months ago but never came again.

kennybobby · 2022-07-24T23:16:30.000Z

$6.99, looks like it is still ongoing
