Fireflies E07 preview

Cold fingers trying to bash turbo mode isn’t easy.

But unlike Imalent the button is easy to locate!!!

Does Sunset mode do anything?

dimming down to off in 30 minutes iirc

yeah, you know, like the sun setting… sunset. :wink:

Do you have to press hold to access a timer on it?

I just seemed to get a moonlight mode and nothing else

If you do additional clicks it adds time (in additional 30min increments) so perhaps you accidentally added time and didn’t wait long enough? I’ve never actually tried sunset mode, I like to use candle mode though (and set a 30 min timer) and it’s accurate to within a couple minute margin.

An additional click turns the light off, the detailed user manual doesn’t list additional options, surely it does more than be a moonlight mode.

It’s like a night light that turns off, or a reading light that will dim and shut down when you fall asleep reading. That was the intention actually, according to TK.

I use Candlelight a lot, love it. Even with the big 17 emitter Ham’r, I primarily use it in candlelight mode. Lightning mode is impressive, sure it is, as is the tactical strobe, but I use it in a medium level to walk the trash to the road or when taking a hot bath to ease aching muscles/joints… so candlelight is the most used mode for me.

I think it uses the lowest ramp setting, so you can set it to be higher by raising the floor. I don’t believe there’s a settable timer on it like the additional 30 minutes on candlelight. Turn it on and leave it. See what it does…

It’s always still on after 30 mins so I’ll leave ot an hour

You know, it is strange that fireflies started this thread and has not chimed in any to address anything. Not even a “we are fixing the issues customers are having with our quality control” ? :neutral_face:

Is the broken leg on the optic really a quality control issue when it doesn’t affect function in any way?

None of these Chinese companies prioritize checking these forums. Even for Giveaways which is free marketing for them they have to be reminded to come back and finish it. I reminded Vapcell about their giveaway and they were thankful and completed it within 15 minutes of me reminding them. They said they work out of the office mostly and just didn’t think to check back.

People should just contact them for support and come back here and post about their experience. I’m sure some of the issues are user error and some will be resolved in fair and unfair ways from the manufacturer, like any company and vendor. Those reports are more valuable in my opinion than some of the things being posted.

Yea, I guess quality control it just appearance and working. Not internals

Had it on an hour still doing the moonlight/sunset thing, I’d just like something to happen for the review explanation.

Yea they dont monitor these forums. You have to contact them directly and point them to specific posts to get their attention. Previously I PM them regarding improving the thermal capabilities of the E07 and got response from them that they will be improving upon it in next prototype

supposedly gets dimmer and dimmer. I let mine run and I didn’t notice it getting dimmer, it shut off after 1 hour and 6 minutes.

I just ran my Thorfire TK05 in Sunset, it dimmed in barely noticeable steps until just over one hour and then shut off. :wink:

Started at approximately the top of the 7135 level.

In my light, I can tell one leg is broken off because the 4 holes do not look identical. 3 of them look the same, but the 4th looks noticeably different.

Beware that even if one looks completely different, you can still have optic without any broken leg. My optic is fine and one hole looks different. That is because one leg is dirty - it’s bottom part is slightly covered by excess thermal paste. So, you will never know until you take it apart :slight_smile:

can one simply unscrew the bezel and have a better look? I don’t want to break anything! I should and probably will just leave it alone, but am curious.

If you don’t want to risk breaking anything dont bother. There is always a possibility you introduce dirt or mess up a LED or component when re-tightening.

When I took mine off some bits of plastic/silicone/glue or something showed up that I had to clean off the aux board and I felt it moving around when I unscrewed the bezel. I cleaned it off and cant notice anything damaged but who knows. Bottom line, I wouldn’t bother if you would be upset if something broke. In my case I cant leave well enough alone and would have just modded it had I broke it.
