Any updates? Fireflies E01 is now available with White Flat 2 emitters, and I’d like to buy one and swap the optic for a reflector for even more throw.
Unfortunately the lip diameter of the reflector does not fit inside the light, needs about 1 mm filing and don’t have the time to try and manually do it.
I got the E01 with the Osram 2mm and unfortunately, it turns pure blue on Turbo even with NCR18650B. At top of ramp, it is white light. There is a lot of artifact because I think the optic is not focused for this domeless emitter but the beam is very narrow.
I contacted Jack at Fireflies to see what is going on but no reply for over a week already. I’ve been a frequent Fireflies customer since their Enogear brand and sometimes it takes a month for them to reply
Hmm, they might have moved too quickly to make this and not tested it properly. Sounds like it needs more resistance. Or maybe they can tweak the UI and set Turbo at a lower output, like 145 out of the 150 steps to give it more reliability.
This is the model that you can’t adjust the ramp levels, right?
One or more of their lights use a simplified version of Anduril that gets rid of the adjustable ramp levels.
I was thinking, if this model has full Anduril you could raise the ramp level to the point before it goes blue and then just not ever use Turbo. This way you can use max safe brightness.
There’s also a chance your mcpcb might not be making good contact to shed the heat fast enough. If there’s a spec of dirt or a high spot under the star, that could cause it to go blue.
