Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

There is a group buy for the light by Freeme. Look for it.

Haven’t seen this thread before, Nice light!!! I like it!

Some photos and test:

Fireflies ROT66, Born for fans of flashlight

:beer:

So I’m wondering what kind of current this thing draws. Sony VTC6 would be the best option? I haven’t bought cells for mine yet, but seems like it only takes unprotected.

Earlier today I ordered a Fireflies ROT66 flashlight from the Fireflies website using Pay Pal to pay. I have received no email order confirmation from Fireflies. The payment on Pay Pal site is in some sort of limbo - it says: “This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when * completes your order.”

This seems odd. Is this normal?

Woww . It’s great

@Fireflies or lexel:
I would like to know the diameter of the driver board.

35mm diameter

Hey, I want in. I will buy 1 of each version and color. The tan looks nice.

What is the cd / beam range for this light?

I ordered mine July 26 and also didn’t get a Paypal confirmation email. Very strange. It does show up on my Paypal account.

I think they ship August 5th, hopefully we get email confirmations then.

I got my email confirming shipment yesterday on 8/3 from Jacky Chang— hotmail put it in my junk folder.

Yes I got confirmation of EMS two days ago

I received confirmation email too

Does anyone know the thread size of the hole the lanyard ring screws into?

Is it tripod compatible? I don’t know about other countries, but in the US that would be a 1/4-20 UNC thread. Thanks.

It’s a M4, 4mm size, not tripod compatible

a short view on optional gear that likely will be added to next batch, easy to install if just used with the LED+ and a screw to connect it to battery

or connect the positive to the indicator LED output (before the resistor)
each of the 3 LED rings has a trimmer for brightness adjustment

low battery and shut down voltage can be adjusted if I build them
of course I will be making those in custom colors, production from fireflies will be likely only one option

The used LDO and Microchip have a very low standby draw of about 50uA, LEDs can be build in different max. brightness settings

function like this tail switch

niiice

Looks cool, thanks Lexel :slight_smile:
