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?
My guess: new FET, copper tail + bypass, sliced XP-L2 or sliced LH351D? Not sure if those will fit with their domes.
When I bought the clear ano E07, SST-20’s were a base price… no premium mark-up. I didn’t know what they would do or how they would look so I got it that way. Then when I put the 30T in it yesterday afternoon and saw them go blue, I knew they weren’t going to be staying. With the thermal stepdown reset, you could actually see the stepdown in the color of the beam, it warmed to the lemongrass color as it went down. Nope, couldn’t do that.
So this afternoon, when the mailman rang the doorbell, I welcomed home 30 Samsung LH351D in the W6 power bin at 5000K. Now, these babies make it right! Nice even tint from moon to Turbo, albeit a larger hot spot. At just under $2 each when ordering in a quantity over 20, well, it just made sense.
Charged up the 30T, tested low lumens at 0.05175 and Turbo at 9246 lumens at start, at 20 seconds it stepped down but was making 8452.5 lumens. Such a nice creamy white tint, I do believe the W6 5000K LH351D is my favorite emitter.
I didn’t change anything else. Well, except for thermal paste. Seems mine had very little to no thermal paste… the copper MCPCB came out dry and untouched by anything. Not so anymore.
Still pretty cool to the touch at 20 seconds?
how much lower output would those have:

found a datasheet...
25% less
So the optic fits that large of an emitter without risk of shearing them off?
