Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

@FireFlies:
Is anything glued in this light (driver, MCPCB, bezel, …)?
Will there be a modding host?

The anti-roll design is very thoughtful.

I wonder if it is hard to swap emitters on this thing incase someone wants to try say LH351D 90CRI.

I emailed the company something related and they claimed the LH351D would not “fit”. I’m guessing the height of the dome or something may be an issue cause they did mention the LH351B would fit. Not sure…

Lexel, good job catching the counterfeit MCU’s. What a rotten thing for the distributor to do.

I see 14 x 7135’s on that PCB drawing, so about 5A max regulated. I see you labeled it FET+1, so the 7135’s are all on the same channel, correct?

Can the hole the lanyard ring attaches to be used as a tripod socket?

the board is build for FET+1 or triple channel firmware,
as in design process they were not sure if just use one AMC
so I put like on my drivers 2 jumpers that can switch the board electrical between the firmwares as they use different pinout
I am just not capable doing it in Narsil to much code related to the onboard LED that i could not route to another pin

they use triple channel on the light

So I’m wondering what kind of current this thing draws. Sony VTC6 would be the best option? I haven’t bought cells for mine yet, but seems like it only takes unprotected.

Earlier today I ordered a Fireflies ROT66 flashlight from the Fireflies website using Pay Pal to pay. I have received no email order confirmation from Fireflies. The payment on Pay Pal site is in some sort of limbo - it says: “This is a temporary authorization to make sure your payment method will cover the payment. Your payment method will be charged when * completes your order.”

This seems odd. Is this normal?
