Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

Wonder what a minus pink filter would do for it in terms of subjective and objective differences? Of if the AR coated lens has a tint that’s green/magenta that also slightly affects tint?

My calibrated TA tube measurement for Nichia 219b version is
4740lm @ 0 sec, 4300lm 30 sec. with VTC6 4.2V
Similar test result with either VTC5A or GA.

I took time redo calibration for my TA tube. Now, my 219B ROT66 with 30Q’s measures 4440 lumen at 0 second, 3910 lumen at 30 seconds.

I just want to say that Jacky of Enogear/Fireflies did just reply to my email and sent me my replacement Enogear AA stainless steel and sent me a free stainless steel 14500 usb rechargeable light. Therefore I will definitely buy more of the ROT66 soon. :slight_smile:

Finished my review:

Can I send my DOA XP-L back?

Yes, 2 year warranty, please email us

ROT66 Aux led board available now

The MF01 219C v1 (6 wires) is more one the rosy side than the MF01 219C v2 (2 wires) that is more on the yellow/green side. If I remember well, charles lin’s MF01 is a v1, both of yours are probably v2.

If the aux led board was offered with more emitter color choices, it would be a certain hit. Many people didn’t like that Emisar only offered the cyan ones. This would have been a opportunity to set your stuff apart.

Yes please, amber secondary would be much more useful than blue.

Fireflies, can you post some photos of the board itself and installation procedure? Does the firmware of older lights support it properly?

I’m ocd and it kinda bugs me that the emitters on the side switch aren’t the same color of blue as the gitd strip. Aux LEDs could alleviate that I guess but I like the subtle glow and color of the gitd strip.

Talking about tiny amber smd leds, has anyone found a version yet that is a phosfor-converted amber? (so more efficient than direct amber leds) I have several PC-amber leds in powerled version but have not seen them in tiny format.

Good question. If not though, I should have Anduril working on the ROT66 soon, and it can run aux LEDs in four different modes if compiled with that option.

+1. I want amber and pink/purple aux lights to match the 219B 9080.

What modes are those?

Too bad I don’t know how to flash the driver. Sigh…

Would be good if Fireflies can include Anduril in the next batch. :wink:

Lexel doesn’t support Anduril so it’s not likely to happen.

The modes are the same as in the D4S:

The aux LEDs are only active when the light is off, or locked, and each of these two “off” modes can be configured to operate in four ways:

Off
Low (~0.03 mA)
High (~0.90 mA)
Beacon (high for 0.5s, then off for ~3.5s, then repeat) (avg ~0.11 mA)

I think there’s a good chance of Anduril or something Anduril-like on a Fireflies light, since they’re looking for something like NarsilM but simpler.

I’ve got it running on a ROT66, as of about an hour ago, but I’m not done calibrating things yet. Gotta get the ramp shape fixed and the voltage calibrated, etc.

However, with a 3-channel driver and a switch LED, Anduril compiles just a few bytes too big to fit when I have all the options enabled. So for now I turned off the option for a blinking switch LED. It’s a little awkward anyway, with the arrangement of two always-on LEDs and two which can turn off.

Long-term though, I hope I can reduce the base code size a little bit so it’ll fit.

Has anyone received an XP-L version that was intact and working as advertised?
I have one en-route and am a bit fidgety about accepting the delivery.

Yeah, they would need your help to do it because I don’t think Lexel wants to mess with a new UI.

I’m guessing all Firelies needs is a good working version of Anduril from you and they can send it to their people flashing the drivers.

On a side note, does the aux board wire into the same spot as the MCU controlled switch lights? So you set both sets of lights off, low or high?

I’m guessing yes? The pin layout is pretty full.

           ----
   Reset -|1  8|- VCC
 eswitch -|2  7|- switch LEDs
     FET -|3  6|- Nx7135
     GND -|4  5|- 1x7135
           ----

There is nowhere to attach it except pin 7, which is already driving the switch LEDs.
