Received both my e01’s today. Got a black and a silver one. Very nice feel and design. No rough spots and perfect knurling. The silver one feels a tiny bit rough when you rub your fingers along the heat sink but nuthing to bother you.
The design of the reflector/glass gives a pleasant big hotspot beam. And throws quite well. I got 45 kcd and 2400 lumens. So great job!
The size is a tiny bit longer than the eo7. But a tiny bit skinnier than the eo7. I would say this light is a great general use light. It doesn’t do anything extraordinary well. Just a great overall light. I would have liked if they could have given this light more throw with a shaved sst40 instead.
The two things I did not like was that the lowest mode is a low mode, rather than their signature firefly moonlight mode that we all love. And the next thing was I’m unable to set the top of ramp as turbo. We need to double click to get to turbo. On the previous fireflies models, we are able to set the top of ramp to turbo if we wanted. This is a big bummer.
Unless I’m just not doing something right?? 4 clicks does not react to anything…
Just received my silver one. All works as it should. It is very similar in size to the E07. The TIR lens is nice. It is extremely light and does not feel very robust. The tail cap end is somewhat discoloured. I thought it was dirty but have so far not been able to remove the stain.
There are a few very minor marks on the finish, its not pristine by any means but its quite acceptable for the price. Delivery was quick and I am very happy. Roll on darkness my old friend, and I can give it a better test.
