Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

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:

Sweet! Lucky I haven’t ordered a second one yet. Can you sell these separately? I would love to install these on the one I have on order.

I will have them in about 3-4 weeks with next board order from China

Lexel can you measure the optic and see if larger domed LED’s fit under it (like LH351D). Fireflies seem to think it wont fit but that would surprise me if that was the case.
