Can I have the BG code.
Thank You
Could i get a bg code thanks freeme.
I got mine yesterday. When BG got more stock in and shipped it, shipping was really quick. I am impressed with the flashlight so far, there is a bit of a learning curve, but so far no problems to report. I will probably give it a few months and get another one and see what improvements have been incorporated. Mine is the SST20 version so I just have to remember not to stick a 40T inside it I have a number of NW and high CRI flashlights now and I think thats it for the cool white emitters. Too harsh for my eyes now.
Premium:
bring it on
How do you know this? What would be the difference?
Cu & Ti material.
What guarantees do we have that any of the issues have been addressed before the production of these “premium editions”? Also what about the fake 40T’s?
Will any unbiased reviewers receive samples before orders go live?
Especially on the Ti version proper thermal paste application is of utmost importance.
Yes, high performance thermal paste should be used, especially on a less thermally conductive material such as a titanium-aluminium alloy.
Meh. Ti is just fancy and copper body flashlights are not my thing. I wish they would do color matching aux button lights. It’s strange than the button aux comes in purple only.
Fake 40t’s? How do you know this or is this just speculation?
Jacky did send lights to maukka and TK previously. Not sure why he didn't do it this time. I really wish i could spend more time work on E07 with FF in Dec. Nevertheless, FF is working hard assisting buyers who are facing issue(s) with their light.
Just digging themselves a deeper hole… Intentionally removed?! Of course it was intentional, they had to finish [incorrectly] assembling the lights after they got the screw holes wrong in the first place. Cheaper to break a piece of plastic off than it is to actually fix the real issue.
What’s sad is the didn’t just own it; “yea we did it wrong, sorry, here’s how we can fix this”. Nope instead they try to play it off as part of the design.
I suppose the machining error lip that keeps the MCPCB from sitting flush on the shelf is an error intentional design as well?
(Ti/copper lights are not for me, too heavy)
Pity, I hoped that “premium” meant “fixed the problems”.
Btw, applying more thermal paste (to some extend) fixes the sympton (overheating leds), it is not fixing the cause, they should have made the ledboard fit better so that it sits flat on the shelf, their minimal amount of thermal paste could have been perfect then.
I agree that their answer to the broken off optic leg is not encouraging. I’m not happy with Emisar that they did it on the D4 either, I believe that it reduces the impact-resistance of the flashlight.
Postponing buying a E07 in the hope that FF really fixes the design. I really hope that they do that, this is such a nice light!
Sorry, I wouldn’t buy a “premium” flashlight from a company that hasn’t even fixed and shipped issue-free “non-premium” flashlights.
FF has already applied more thermal paste for their E07 base on customers’ feedback.
You mean they supplied fake 40T batteries to their buyers? Sorry, i am not aware about it. I am sure buyers will get refund for them.
Regarding the broken TIR “leg”, I was told that they were intentionally removed.
Battery tube will be extended to about 1mm to support/ prevent damaging longer 21700. Anything longer than 1mm, it might affect the operation of 18650 setup.

That’s an excessive amount of heat paste and just putting tons of heat paste in there does not solve the issue: Bevel/Clean-Up the edges of the MCPCB so that it can sit flush and put a little more heat paste in there as you originally had. It’s not that hard.
The list goes on and on and with the exception of the battery tube I haven’t read or heard a single statement from Fireflies or an apology.
I am gonna be honest: I bought the light because I am a sucker for dragster lights. It’s still on its way to me. But so far Fireflies has left quite a negative impression and I have never had such a bad feeling after purchasing a light.
This is the third model by FireFlies. They should be experienced enough to properly design, build a light by now. Or how not to confuse the lights they send out.
1. That’s not excessive. It’s been proven by many PC tech channels that there isn’t really such a thing as too much thermal paste:
2. Yes.
3. Huh, didn’t know.
4. Ok.
5. How exactly does that actually happen? A blob of solder on an LED? How?
6. I haven’t had any problems with my SST-20 Fireflies PL47 using an NCR20700A 30A cell, at all. The warning is probably for the 219B version since it’s not a durable LED like the 219C, but with the same extremely low VF. Now that the 219B has been phased out, it’s not a problem… if they can fix the thermal paste issue.
7. Battery tube issues will be fixed.
While they certainly have some quality-control issues, I don’t think the situation is nearly as bad as you think:
FF has clearly heard the feedback and is trying to address this. They’ve massively upped the amount of thermal compound on the shelf. If it gets rid of the air gap this should be a vast improvement over the original build, but still isn’t as good as having a completely flat connection with a thin layer of compound.
My take on this issue: FF’s heart is in the right place and they are trying. But their inexperience clearly caused a problem.
And despite the problems let’s also consider what Fireflies DID give us:
Fireflies took the time to make an innovative, exceptional light that every flashaholic should have. However, they are a new company and their inexperience might be showing. But fortunately, they appear to be listening to feedback and addressing concerns as they come up. This is the kind of attitude we like manufacturers to have.
If a flashlight manufacturer makes a mistake I do not care if they apologize. What I want is for them to fix the problems …. and this is what Fireflies seems to be doing.
Well the guy is complaining and hasnt even received his light! I have used mine a lot since I got it some time ago and love it. My battery fitted without a problem, my aux LEDs are fine, the FL is not too sharp IMHO and the missing optic leg is so stupid that nobody ever notices without actually trying to.
From the various design issues that I hope FF will fix, the two things that I can not easily address myself is a clipped-off optic-leg and a short battery tube. I hope that at least those will be improved, and the improved version announced in a way that I can be sure that I will receive the improved design instead of old stock.

If the clipped off optic leg really bothers you, you could try making a replacement.
Also, the too-short battery tube is also easy to fix:
