Fireflies PL47 Flashlight

Send a PM to FireFlies (OP), they will probably send you replacement parts.

Doh! :person_facepalming: Good call, got to be the best first option; why do we sometimes fail to look for the simplest answer :smiley:

Anyone able to make a copy of the user manual that came with the PL47?

Just saw FF is making Generation 2. Basically just addressing the major issues of the first gen.

From their webpage

PL47 Generation II is coming at the end of August !!!

Main Improvements:

1. Optimize the inner structure design . All potential QC assembling issues 100% solved .

2. Round all the sharp edges. Improve machining quality by a lot

3. Come with 2 tailcaps . One without magnet. One with strong magnet ;

I hope they improve the switch and boot design too, it was a big letdown compared to Emisar lights.

I’m up for a Gen II. Sounds like some nice improvements. Me and my apprentice use ours daily (plumbing hvac) and I was hoping I could obtain another 219b in the future. Looks like it will happen.

I would like to get a strong magnet tailcap for my PL47 Gen 1. Will the Gen 2 tailcap will fit Gen 1?

Sorry but this is the best I can do without a scanner :


Had a screw up tonight. Dropped my light while taking it off my head and it landed bezel down on the linoleum floor in my mud room. I picked it up to this,

Anyone ever replace the glass on their PL47 before? Recommendations?

And that’s why I will never buy press fit bezel torches from crapy manufacturers…

I can’t help you source a new lens but hopefully someone else here knows the dimensions and a source for replacements, also don’t know how easy/reliable reinstalling the press fit bezel ring will be.

However, I did open my Gen 1 up for the 219Bs when the swtich died, so:
1 - Carefully shatter the lens (You’re already a step ahead of me!!! :smiley: )

2 - Use a small pliers, tweezers, etc. to pull out any pieces you can. Something small to pry/lever them out may work too, but this could scratch the optic underneath if you care about that.

3 - Wedge a small screwdriver or knife under the bezel ring where the lens was and lever it upwards slowly, working around the circumference of the ring. Don’t try to pop it all the way up in any single spot all at once, just a little at a time prevents it from being wedged into place on the opposite side.

Voila!

Thanks for the info. However, fireflies has sent me a replacement head free of charge. I didn’t even ask him to. He insisted. That’s some good CS imo.

Then we shall aplause him for such care and generous intention…Firelies best!

Wow! Kudos to fireflies! :+1:

Does anyone know when the PL47 gen 3 comes out? I want to buy one but the gen 2 supply seems to be pretty low and not the best led options. Fireflies website said gen 2 was discontinued, waiting on gen 3.

I’m not sure on Gen 3. I do have a Gen 2 and love it. Got an extra in the box if you are in the US and want it? I got mine when they did the US Warehouse thing last year. I hope they go back to doing that….hint hint!

Which LEDs in your gen 2? Does it come with the headband?

Emitter is XPL Hi V3 3A at 5000k

Yes, headband is included.

PM me if interested. I’ll pull up exactly what I paid and include that in pictures.

I bought the PL47 from rjkesler, exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Glad you got everything okay, Buddy! That worked out great. Enjoy!
