Fireflies E07 preview

Does Sunset mode do anything?

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.

7 White Flat’s contactcr? :wink: lol

THANK YOU for the advice. I will leave it be!

I have promised myself I will leave this one alone, don’t know if I can keep that promise if the optic is improperly installed. Will just have to wait and see, I think it may have arrived in the States but I still don’t have a definitive arrival date…

If there were other choices of optics or it supported a larger domed LED I would buy a second one for sure. There is very little room to improve/mod this one (which makes me a little sad cause half the fun for me is modding to make my own unique version)

Make a switch cover that slides backwards to reveal the switch and while sliding backwards it also lifts up a lens cover!

You know you want to! :wink:

Sunset mode finally turned off, all is well in the camp.

contactcr, try modding the E07 with larger wires, maybe check to see if the FET can be swapped for a slightly better one… there could be some lumens in there hiding somewhere. :wink:

Nitecore managed 10,000 with a 21700

And that relates to this 7 emitter FireFlies light, how?

So far I’ve seen reports of 7500 lumens using the XP-L HI in this E07, I just thought it’d be interesting to find what FireFlies missed. It’s, well, kinda what I do…

Edit: Since I’m going to try not to open this one up, I thought contactcr might want to find those poor lost little lumens in my stead. :wink:

… or try a driver and emitter swap. You know you want to replace those tiny little emitters with seven XHP 70.2. Perhaps you can be the first in the world to do so! :smiling_imp:

That TM10K looks pretty nice. 10,000 lumens from one 21700!!! … even if it can only sustain it for 7 seconds. Nitecore must’ve used a boost driver since they’re doing it with 6x XHP35.

However, the E07 does have a lot of advantages. It’s less than 1/4 of the price of the TM10K. And it has a replaceable cell.

I’ve pushed 70.2’s, burned up 70.2’s, not all that keen on trying to kill em 7 at a time. Now, 7 XHP-35……. :wink:

<—— Ham’r does 25,978.3 at start, still making 22,977 at 30 seconds and at an even one minute it’s still cranking out 22,528 lumens. :smiley:

A single Samsung 25S pushes 28A through the Ham’r, making 14,663 lumens from a single 18650.

there you go Dale! Your new project!!! Convert an E07 to run with 7x XHP35!!!

Well, I kinda do have something in mind that may allow the E07 to break 14,000, but we’ll see…

Take the lens and optic off, 10K, done :smiley:
