Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

I believe the website said $98

Whoa, is this the first factory light with 4500K R9080 Nichias?! :heart_eyes:

Can you share photos of the driver?

Wow I havent seen anything that got me this excited in a long while! Is it really 219b 9080? Becaise from my understanding Nichia discontinued them a long while ago. Only Virence.com sells them but with very limited quantities left. If it is really 9080, I will definitely buy one or maybe two if performance is good. Thanks and really looking forward to learn more about this light

I’m super excited as well. Never would have thought a brand out of nowhere coming out with such a tint snob friendly light! And a perfect 3x18650 form factor as well.

I like the light a lot. The only thing I would like even more is a tailcap of the same color as the body.
I hope it’s a parallel setup. Price is a bit high for me, hope to see a group buy - or, even better, a modding host with empty MCPCB and without driver.

group buy.please.

Congrats to FireFlies for your very first product.

yes, it’s true 219v 9080 D220

Wow. Interested. And welcome to BLF! :partying_face:
Is Fireflies by any chance somehow related to Manker?

Looks nice i like the form factor :smiley:

thanks , no chance :person_facepalming: why ask…

Manker released an anniversary model not too long ago. Not only was this model offered in a very similar champagne colour, it is also machined from 7075 aluminium which is very rarely used for flashlights. Therefore I wondered whether there was a relation, like the same manufacturer for example.

What a cool light! Welcome to BLF.

Looks really good.

I really hope turbo mode can be memorized and is in the mode sequence.
Because this is a light I would purchase….

yes, it is memorized

Description of the UI, from their website:

Thanks for the test results. This is the first time I see this test from a flashlight manufacturer :+1:
I plugged in the X & Y values for the 219B 4500k and got a DUV of –0.0106 and the for the XPLHI version and got 0.0023.

The 219B 4500k will be very rosy magenta, which is what the 219B 4500k is known for so seems legit!

BTW, I thought I saw a picture showing an all silver version but I don’t see it any more. Not sure if my memory is playing tricks on me. But I’m going to get the gold one with the 219B 4500k.

Those lumen ratings puts this one even above the legendary Noctigon Meteor M43, which is pretty incredible considering it is run on 3-cells vs 4-cells on the M43. We just need some runtime graphs from someone like Maukka :wink:

Boy, that really looks nice but sorry, not for $98.00.
