On lower modes they are a little greenish. I used a filter over my SST20s for that reason. On full blast, they have a pinkish Nichia R9080 quality to them with the filter.
I’ve also gotten a Fireflies E07 (Nichia 219B) via Neal’s.
But seems like Fireflies quality control still has a lot to do.
The button LED (the 2 that are always on when the battery is inserted) — now one of them doesn’t light up anymore. I’ve not used the flashlight much — it did work when I first received the flashlight, but now it just mysteriously doesn’t light up anymore. It’s a minor thing, but still…
(any idea how that non-lighting button can be fixed? just doesn’t look quite right with one lighted)
As mentioned by others, the heat sink fins (E07 grey) have relatively sharp edges (which can hurt the skin when sliding my hands over that part).
I read that the later clear/silver anodized has already slightly chamfered fins, so that’s at least a good sign that they know about this issue and have attempted to correct it.
Also mentioned by others, the rubber button switch feels “mushy” to click (unlike the Emisar D4/D4S, where the rubber button is a good click) — I hope they fix this next time, it just doesn’t feel as good when clicking the button…
(My E07 bezel is not glued and easily removable — is this by default, or maybe mine is an earlier production batch?)
As others mentioned, one of the legs in the optic is broken off…
The reason being there is a screw in that position of the board, so which is likely the reason why they had to cut off one leg to make the optic fit.
And one more thing - it will dent the top of the 21700 battery (I’m using a Liitokala Lii-40A), and see what it does to the battery:
what was previously nice flat top…
becomes dented top…
However, overall I’m starting to like this E07 flashlight, the size may be slightly heavier than say the Convoy S2+/Astrolux S1, but is not too much bigger. It is heavier though, due to the mass for heat sinking and the bigger 21700 battery. I was actually somewhat surprised by its size when I first received it — I had thought it would be bigger than the Emisar D4S, but as it is, it’s just comparable in size to the D4S (E07 is slightly taller, but slightly slimmer and more “curvy” and good to hold in the hands).
I’m very happy with my Naturehike diffuser:

Not beautiful and not cheap for what it is but lightweight and very universal.
Do you have any 5D or 219B 9080 lights? If so, compare it side by side with the SST-20 4000k and you will realize how green it is. I thought the tint on my SST-20 4000k looked pretty good on turbo until I compared it.
Thanks Flashoholics for another useful and very entertaining video!
As Anduril gives so many options, and the E07 has many leds, a possible future version could go crazy by using two tints (i.e. 3x3000Ksst20 4x4000ksst20) and have the tint ramping borrowed from the BLF-lantern.
Is that a problem in general with the SST-20? Currently looking into cheap options to get a glimpse of the High-CRI world.
I hate greenish tints, so I guess it won’t make me happy?
Anyone tested E07 output on 30T v 40T?
The 3000K version of the SST-20, as for sale at Kaidomain is yellow-rosy, nothing green about that one. The 4000K version does not have that rosy hue at all, but I would not call it green.
Is anyone with a grey E07 interested in a black aluminum body? I have no experience with dismounting the E07 to remove the internals (and I haven’t even received my E07 yet), but I had to take a black version to get the combination between emitter and auxiliary leds I wanted, though I preferred grey or silver. I would happily swap!
Mine is clear ano, beveled edges on the fins so nothing sharp there, and the SST-20’s are 5000K, supposedly.
So … I ordered a Fireflies E07 7x SST20/Nichia/XPL HI 6900LM.
What is the word regarding the best 21700 battery for this beauty?
Samsung 40T or Sony VTC6A if you dont mind spending $15 for a battery
40T should be better than VTC6A I think. The 40T is a larger cell.
It’s confusing but the VTC6A is sold in 21700 size by mostly rewrappers and is nearly the same as 40T in capacity and output.
Shipping appears to be much improved for E07 (shipped China E-packet) vs my PL47 (shipped registered post).
Both PL47 and E07 ordered directly from FF with FREE shipping and freeme’s discount code.
E07 ordered 1/6/19, shipped 1/9/19, delivered today 1/15/19. More details to follow.
So, y’all ready?
With a Samsung 30T, not quite fresh off the charger, my E07 now makes 9,349.5 lumens at start. What? I didn’t change much… 
I wonder if the 50e would make a decent trade off? Extra 1000 mah but how much of a lumen loss vs 40t?
say it !
:D
WOW!!! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:
What did you change?
