HKJ specifies the Shockli 21700 4550mAh (Purple) you show in your video as being 70.9mm long. He has the Samsung 40T at 70.1mm (stores list it as 70.4mm). The Samsung 50E is listed by stores as 70.7mm. I hope the 40T and 50E will fit in an unmodified E07 without getting crushed. Crazy that they made the battery tube so short…
Those beam shots were very helpful. Great overall video! Thanks for making it.
I was on the fence about ordering an E07, but the battery tube issue makes it a no-go for me. I’ve had to do the copper wire spacer on another light because I switched drivers and it might affect the waterproofness. Maybe Fireflies can make adjustments in the future to accommodate more cells. I really hate having a manufacturer limit the cells you can use.
It seems that these first runs have overlooked some important details. It’s too bad because the UI, size, looks and output looked to be close to the perfect flashlight for me. If Fireflies can fix the battery tube length, I’d jump on an E07.
Great review, thanks I was thinking of buying one of these and now it’s been put on the back burner - essentially a very well made pair of lights, that are at the same time very poorly made.
Poorly fitting cell range, supplied with a headband that is not fit for purpose along with a fairly steep price (all things considered) and mis-matching aux leds / anodising all add up to a no buy from me at the moment.
I was so close to buying over the holidays too, glad I saw this really as I would have been disappointed when I received it.
Thank you Martin! I was also very close to buying the E07 but now I plan to wait for the next batch with rectified battery tube length, smooth edges on the cooling fins and better anodization quality.

he has a differnet approach and beats me by explaining the User Interface and programming!
