You can also find more info about this light by using Google to search for Sofirn C01
Here is a animation of that technique
I think Let Me Google That For You is really cool, no offense intended in any way to any one, because it shows exactly what keywords were used. In this case I added my handle to the search terms, which is a powerful technique for finding posts, when you know who made them.
Another thing I find really useful when Googling, is to click on "Images" after searching. Often I want to see a photo, and then want to see where it came from.

Update, November 2020:
The Sofirn C01 was the result of a BLF collaboration with Sofirn, after Fenix declined my inquiry for a MOQ quote, to build a High CRI Fenix E01.
Fenix and Sofirn parts are interchangeable. Fenix are Low CRI.
Sofirn are High CRI, w reversible pocket clip and a trit slot.
Shortly after the High CRI Sofirn C01 came out, Fenix announced it was discontinuing production of the Low CRI Fenix E01.
The Yuji LED in the first run Sofirn C01 is also offered in the McGizmo Sapphire, and as a skylumen.com mod to Fenix E01 hosts.
The above lights all use a Low Power 5mm LED in an AAA twisty host that has only One Mode.
The C01 Host has since been used to produce three other versions, with different LEDs, and more modes. (1 mode C01, 2 mode C01S, and 3 mode C01R). Not only has Sofirn produced High CRI models, they also offer Red LED models.
Here is an excellent summary table of the C01 Series
