FF5 Brief Description
1 Product Description
Ff5-100w hid, ignition for 100 watt lamp, 120 watt battery input power, is the current limit value of portable HID flashlight. The 100 watt luminous flux is 10000 lumens, and the measured and calculated light intensity value is 1 million CD,
2 Design
FF5 is a high and low gear design, with 100W high grade and 40W low grade. It can be changed by pressing the side switch. There is a temperature control system inside. Once the temperature control takes effect, it will automatically jump and lock at 40W;
3. Design of heat insulation ring for flashlight
FF5
It is a 100W high power flashlight. In order to ensure user comfort, this feature is added at the expense of flashlight length. The handle can isolate 20-30 ℃ from the lamp head. For a long time, the temperature in the handle only comes from heating the battery.
4. About the color temperature of the flashlight
The default value for The Flashlight is 4300k.

You created two threads, you should delete one. This light is amazing. The performance is at least 5 years ahead of LED lights. Tint is excellent. I will likely be getting one soon pending user reviews.
I owned 2 FF4s before and while it’s officially rated at 4300k, cameras cannot do justice to its glorious tint when brought outdoors. You have to see it on hand and compare it side-by-side to its LED counterpart to see the difference which I cannot easily verbally describe.
On the other hand, this HID is a real mAh sucker considering its Low mode at “only” 4000 lumens! (the FF4’s low is 2000 lumens).
Though FireFoxes are quite impractical for everyday use unless you have a bag of batteries with you, it has its own place in a flashlight enthusiast’s collection.
OH HELL YEAH, bring back HID, such wasted potential. I can see this being better than LED for it’s size/output/throw/price. But what about bulb hour lifespan? any numbers there? Last i heard anything over 70-80watts=big reduction in life esp with cheaper lamps.
2km is pretty bloody respectable, aswell the covers good idea.
HID has an old school charm to it like incans but different.
An arc lamp produces some of the farthest throwing light in the world. Some of the old carbon arc searchlights could throw 20 miles (but consume 20 kilowatts of power). It made me a believer when I switched my car’s halogen lamps to HID in 2008. Never went back. You have to get good quality ballasts though since cheap ones don’t last and perform poorly. Xenon lamps are cheap as well…cheap to make unlike high performance LED’s. The downside is the fact you need to package the bulky ballast and driver into a small package- that makes them expensive. I’d say the power consumption is similar to a high power LED flashlight, consumes less amps, but more volts is all and less heat.
Hello, hid bulbs have a long service life. From FF1 to FF5, thousands of flashlights have been shipped. No one has ever worn out the bulbs unless they are damaged by falling from high altitude,
HID light is generated by electric arc breaking through the inert gas, no filament is applied there. Therefore, the service life is longer
HID at present, only the drive circuit may be broken, but with the technology update and upgrading of these generations, FF5 has been very stable
This light is absolutely incredible. I agree with the comment that this is superior to everything in my collection even the mighty Imalent MS18. The 4300K is beautiful - can see all the colors of the leaves that are changing even when it’s pitch dark outside
How are you guys carrying yours? Mine didn’t come with a shoulder strap and there seems to only be one hole in the cap, not another in the front like the MS18 has
I’m using a fairly sturdy wrist lanyard but it’s not an ideal solution
Can’t wait to fire this puppy up tonight for trick or treat
Thank you Photon… I just got my light (4300) and also need to order some batteries. The battery carrier/battery tube I am interested in actually holds 8-18650s so as to increase runtime. I apologize for not making that more clear in my post. Also, im not sure which ones to go with (Sony VTC6A, Samsung 30Q or ???). That is so ironic you mentioned the gryfalcon as I saw it got good reviews and was actually looking at them today.
