Can anyone comment on battery choice for the 219B option E07? Is it still best to stay with a 10 A battery like the Samsung 50E as was recommended for the 219B version of the PL47 or do the extra emitters actually need a higher max Amp battery to get the best turbo output without overdriving the 219B’s?
Also, is the battery tube a bit longer to fit Samsung 50E and longer batteries?
I can confirm the Samsung 50E cell fits fine in both my PL47’s. I just ordered my E07 so dont know about that one yet. I have a Efest 3700mah 35a waiting for the E07. The Efest seems the exact same size as the 50E.
I just received my E07 order. I quickly tested a XP-L HI 3A v2 with the Maukka calibrated TA lumen tube and got 6,800 turn on lumens. I’m guessing a v3 XP-L HI will make 7,500, which is really amazing for the small size. It is smaller than I imagined and I love the heat fins. The hotspot is very round and huge. This will definitely be my new pocketable EDC.
I’ll do more extensive later on all my units when I have time. In the meantime, has anyone found the ideal battery for the 219B version?
Fireflies just removed the option on their website to purchase 30T's with the E07. I ordered mine with a 40T about a month ago. Will be interesting how bright it will be with that battery when it finally arrives.
With 30T, it makes 7,570 lumens! Freaking amazing! It is even brighter than the D4S XP-L HI 5D V2 (3,577 lumens), ROT66 XPL-HI 3A V3 (6,940 lumens), Noctigon M43 (4,310 for LH351D 90CRI, 5,172 for XPL-HI 5D v2, 6,000 XP-G2), and Astrolux MF01 (I think it was about 7k for the 219C).
Too bad FF ran out of the XPL-HI 3A V3 and I think 1A V3 is too CW for me.
I’m going to do more testing on each unit once I receive my E07 order from Neal. Strange that I received my order from FF so quickly even though I ordered it two weeks after I placed order from Neal. However FF made some mistakes in my order: one had wrong emitters and one had wrong aux color. Will sort it out with them.
@SKV89, that's a lot of lumens wow. I ordered mine with the 40T and hoping to get close to that. How does the beam look to you compared to the rot66? From Matts video, the rot66 looks like it has much more flood.
