For photography I’d go with high cri. Tint and Temp can easily be adjusted. For pure even flood that covers the whole frame then a mule (no optics or reflector) is the way to go. I’m not sure how difficult or easy it is to remove the bezel and optics from this light though, or if the mcpcb is screwed down or just pressed by the optics (maybe TK can answer this). I have used a d4 for photography and I find that even the very floody Carclo 10623 optics produces an uneven light so I remove the optics for this purpose.

The prototype I have seems to use press-fit retaining rings for the lens and the button, so I haven’t been able to take the head apart at all.

This makes me a little bit sad. Press fitted bezels are a PITA to work with. I’d still buy this light for its form and UI (thanks to TK). But hopefully the final version is more mod friendly.

That’s the reason why I’m really looking forward to the FW3A with LH351D, based on Toykepper’s comment it should be nice for close range work or photography :

@ToyKeeper

When I voted in the poll, I hadn’t actually tried LH351D emitters. It sounded really nice from what I had heard though, so I ranked it second. But after trying it (LH351D 5000K 80CRI) in person, in both 10511 and 10507 optics, I would rank it last. I don’t like the beam with either of the optics. With 10511 it’s smooth but way too floody. With 10507 it’s less floody but the beam looks a lot like a zoomie in wide mode — a flat(ish) wide circle with fairly sharp and colorful edges, and virtually no spill.

I kinda agree with this. For normal use I usually don’t like the flood beams of mule lights and zoomies especially the rough edges. Judging by the sound of it, I probably wouldn’t like LH351D under quad or triple optics either. But you’re right, they might be very useful for close range photography.

Is the PL47 really going to have that odd two tone body? It’s up on the Fireflies site with no colour option and the description is unclear. I always assumed it was just a prototype.

[Old_Klein]

Does it come with a Head-strap ?

Definitive interested in two if it does.

[oceanfreak]

I like the champagne/sand/FDE/burnt bronze look with two tone. That’s what attracted me to this at first. If it comes in all black I will be sad.

Yes, we sourced back a head-strap to make it work as a steady headlamp.

Light is in dual tone.

If the sale is good, FF should be able to come out with alternative colors. Nov Oct 25, 2018 < mark your calendar!
