Periscope Light
Out for delivery…weeeeeeee. Hehehehe. Wooooohooooo
Awesome. Played with it until my niece swung it round & round until she snapped the lanyard. She’s not talking to me now. The light is brighter than the r9080 version. Slightly greenish but pleasant nonetheless. Super low mode. 3 of the LEDs are brighter than the rest though. Is there a way to turn off the auxiliary LEDs?
They sometimes use Rota also….

Hella nice. Please post your impressions on this light.
How about the Fireflies PLF 47?
I don’t have any idea.
You must ask FireFlies.
I think the only way to turn them off is to disconnect the battery. If I understand correctly, the aux LED board is connected directly to the battery, so the attiny cannot control it.
Is that the direction that Fireflies went? They didn’t wire it into the MCU controlled side switch light? I guess the easiest way to find out is if the auxiliary lights turn off and on in sync with the switch lights.
I’ll probably find out on Tuesday. I got a message from DHL about a package arriving that day, and I think it’s from Fireflies.
People were talking earlier about the ROT66 being sensitive to bumps. I wasn’t able to make mine do anything wrong though, even with fairly short cells installed. Anyway, today my ROT66 fell about 1.5m onto a linoleum floor… and it didn’t even skip a beat. No change at all in the light output, and no visible dents or scratches on it. I’m not sure the floor is completely intact, but the light is totally fine.
Haven’t been able to make mine shut off from bumps either.
Since I have my ROT66 in front of me. I decided to put it on turbo and hammering it against my palm repeatedly with a lot of force and did not see a single blink. I have the stainless steel tail cap but I doubt that makes any difference at all.
SKV89 know that you are crazy about the quality of light and that’s why I’m curious what version you chose. What LEDs ?. I think about ROT66 myself, but Nichia is too much under BBL.
I bought 3 ROT66 with 219B. One for my friend and two for myself since these emitters are supposedly going extinct… I was going to buy an XPL-HI 3A v3 version too but will wait until they get the manufacturing issues fixed on that one.
It really isn’t much rosier than the 5D tint Emisar flashlights that I have. In fact, it’s not even as rosy as the XPG2 in the Enogear AA Stainless Steel. Now I’m so used to it, I don’t even notice it’s rosy. I thought something went wrong with the emitters after too much use. It just looks natural white to me. However when I compare it with my other non A or D tint flashlights, they all look yellow/green. At night, when I use it on natural vegetation, it is the closest to sunlight I’ve seen. I love it!
These Nichias don’t look rosy— only on max turbo are they rosy looking. They don’t look pink as much as they make other emitters look green.
Can I be your friend?
I can say, that the FB4 tint of SST-20 is already much better than Nichia 219C regarding perceived BBL position.
I have Nichia 219C 4000K in a Lumintop IYP365 penlight, and I have a Jaxman E2L as well with the same LED as comparison.
I just finished a rather simple Convoy S2+ build with TIR lens and a 7 mode driver (10-100%), and I tested it with a 25 degree beaded lens on an evening bike ride. While I still like the tint of 219C 4000K, I can notice, that it is noticeably greener and yellower than the FB4 SST-20. Also, I can ‘feel’ the slightly better spectrum coverage of the latter.
I have also 4×E21A 4000K from Clemence in a Skilhunt H03 - that felt me a little bit warmer, and it has a slight further extra ‘touch of’ deep red, but FB4 SST-20 is already very good in deep red.
lol. Basically I have a few friends that got inspired by my flashlight collection and whenever I see something super interesting, I let them know and see if they want to buy it. If they do, they just pay me back the cash and they can avoid the hassle dealing with the online transaction. This friend who just got the ROT66 219B is a 5700k fan. He seems to like the 4500k ROT66 but hasn’t compared it side by side with his other lights yet.
I bought a 4xE21A 4000k Tiara Pro from Clemence. The tint and color rendering on that thing is perfect. Also the Tiara Pro is regulated even on high mode so I can run it with 500+ real lumens continuously, which is great as a work light.
