Fireflies E07 preview

Yes double-click goes to ramp ceiling. You have to double click again to go to turbo.

On my rot66b I set ramp ceiling to max so double click from off goes to turbo if I remember correctly. Maybe not the best solution if you don't want a max ramp ceiling.

The intended solution for that is… set the ceiling to turbo. It doesn’t even have to be both ceilings; there can be one set at turbo and one set to a more reasonable level. I’d suggest setting the stepped ramp ceiling to turbo, because with steps it’s also easy to hit a lower level consistently.

On most lights, I use the smooth ramp indoors and the stepped ramp outdoors. People can configure it however they like, of course, but this is the setup I’ve found works best for me.

Using quality 350mA 7135 chips will solve most of the issue. The 380’s are actually cherry picked 350’s and as such can be unstable. Or so I’ve read… I’ve found it to be true and prefer to use the 350’s whenever possible on the single +1 7135 channel.

Anyone know what "muggle" mode is in anduril? I tried it but it just seemed to act weird.

Reduced output (i think), less modes/features:

Muggle mode:

* 1 click: On / off.

* Hold: Ramp up / down.

* 6 clicks: Exit muggle mode.

Thanks contactcr! At first I didn't realize I had it Muggle mode and double clicking or ramping would not go to turbo or anything remotely bright and I thought something was malfunctioning.

Muggle mode is a mode to put the light in before handing it to a child or anyone else who is likely to use the light in unsafe ways. It’s simpler and can’t go very bright.

Can you please share pictures and beamshots when you get it. 4000k is my favorite tint and I’m having a hard time deciding between the E07 and the D4S with the XPL HI 4000k

E07
+Slimmer
+More efficient at same brightness
+More floody with stock optic
+Has clip
+Stainless bezel
+Anduril
?Uses 21700
?Lighted Switch
?No Magnet option

D4S
+More throwy with stock optic and more power to each LED
+Can change optic to floody if you buy it separately
+Has magnet or no magnet tail
-No clip, but probably too thick anyways
?Better build track record
?Has pins to reflash
?Slightly shorter

I really Like the E07 design but I have a D4S flashed with Andúril and If these missplaced screw and snipped off optic legged E07s keep popping up and they did not made a longer tube to fit cells better I will stick to my D4S.

So, did anyone actually try to get different optics? If I get one I would like it to be a little throwier.

Very good idea actually, thank you for that.

No one has tried it yet. If it is compatible, would be awesome with 10 degree optics, which is same as that in the D4S but with 7 emitters, E07 will out throw D4S. Also with White Flat, it can potentially throw 200kcd since D4S throws 120+kcd.

Ledil Angie (D4S) is 12 degrees

The E07 has :
Vias on the battery side to (re)flash the MCU (don’t know if desoldering the Aux LED PCB first is part of the process).
Clean machining. Deep fins + 10mm head shelf for LED MCPCB (FireFlies was prompt to listen BLF members to modify their prototypes) for better heat management. Unpredictable assembly quality.

… received my E07 today. I got the SST20 10W NW 4000K CRI95 and am rather pleased with the tint! Someone mentioned it would be tad on the green side but I don’t see that. What an amazing light to sit down and tinker with. I was overwhelmed at first but I received an instruction sheet as well as the flow diagram. I think I’m ok with most of it :wink: Lights surely have progressed. I like lots of options, special UIs, flashes, the whole works. In this I have that. I got a black body and supposedly blue AUX LEDs but they look purple which I like better. This thing just smacks of quality, nice bezel, threads are great! WHY do I find myself wanting more of these E07s? Price is really fair IMHO.

question: do I need to worry about leaving the AUX LEDs on in the blinky mode, I’m running a 30Q?

GREAT JOB FIREFLIES!!!

I think I’m going to have longer of a wait than I expected after paying extra for expedited 5-8 day shipping. It’s been a week and it still hasn’t shipped. I should not have paid extra. :person_facepalming:

Interesting light. I’ve skimmed through the thread but can’t find any details on the driver board, only the aux LED board. What is the diameter of the driver board? Easy to get to and replace?

Also, from the photos of the front with aux board, it looks like the LEDs are on a normal PCB under the aux board. Is this a standard PCB or copper MCPCB? I haven’t seen any info about that either.

Remember too, when they say 10º or 12º they’re talking half angle, it takes 3º or less for a thrower style beam. Just sayin…
