Fireflies PL47 Flashlight

If I understand correctly, the supply of 219B emitters is running low, so it’s less a matter of whether there will be a 219C version and more a matter of how long the 219B supply will last.

TK, has anyone yet made a good tutorial video of Anduril UI? This will be my first light with this UI. I’m sure this has been discussed extensively, but I’m unsure exactly what the “N” value is in the configuration set up.

I recall someone made a video overview of Anduril, but it was pretty long and probably could have been a lot shorter. Would have to search through logs to find the URL.

The “N” is the number of clicks. Like, if you want to enter a value of 5, click 5 times. If you’re calibrating the temperature sensor and want to tell it the ambient environment is 22 degrees C, click 22 times. If moon is too low and you want to set the ramp floor to level 10 of 150, click 10 times. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks TK, that makes sense! Appreciate!

Thanks, Pavlo. I forgot who made the video, which made it hard to find. With the video URL though, I found the original post about it. ZozzV6 contributed the tutorial.

I just bought two PL47. This is the 6th Fireflies flashlight I bought. Fireflies are you planning to add more color options for the Aux light? People might buy more just to get the different color combination to put on their desk or display shelf. The Aux lights look really nice.

I’d love to pick up another one of these lights with a black body and orange aux LEDs :money_mouth_face:

I would really wish that FireFlies start to manufacture flashlights with threaded retaining rings for the lens and e-switch.

Solarforce was manufaturing their P60 hosts with a threaded retaining ring for the lens and it was years ago, sure it is more cost effective but this kind of design gives a better feeling.

Their L2-B1 stainless steel retaining ring was flush with the edge of the head and I remember to have asked them to make a retaining ring that could protect the edge of the front of the head and they made the L2-B6 retaining ring a few months later.

The PL47 gives the impression to be a bit expensive considering the press-fitted design.

Which version would be best for bright flood?

I would also consider a request for adding Samsung LH351B/C/D for FireFlies flashlights.

While LH351B/C emitters are less efficient (and powerful) than LH351D, they might be good when better throw is needed - but in 90+ CRI, LH351D is offererd with the most options, including a 6000K CW, which I would strongly welcome in moderately floody flashlights. LH351D have possibly more output, while being not much worse than SST-20WxH regarding R9 values (~65 vs. 80+).

If I think about Luminus SST-20WxH (95CRI), I would pick a ‘FA1’ or ‘FA2’ tinted variant for the best neutral white, but I would also welcome a ‘GDx’ (x could be any of 1, 2, 3, 4) tinted one for a mildly warm white around (or a little bit below) 3500K.

XPL HI …pick your flavor of host and kelvin

Would that be a Halloween special edition?

I would probably pick one up. Any coupons available?

Of course, and lose the glue.

Many manufacturers tantalise us with threaded rings that have an odd number of indentations, so a special tool is required, or lots of ingenuity.

Even then they are sometimes a tease, and really a press-fit. Or glued up. Or threaded backwards.

Instead of simply using some circlip pliers, or the thing that takes the back off a watch with two prongs.

Even number of indents please, no glue, threaded in the usual direction.

Same applies to driver retaining rings.

Mine will be attached to a helmet(for caving) so 5000lumens will not be an issue…

Just discovered this nifty little (big?) light! My wife’s birthday is next week, she uses an outdated Crelant headlamp every day, so she will soon be trying out the PL47 with SST-20 emitters in NW. :smiley:

Thanks for a job well done!

Will there be rattle using 18650?

Hey High CRI folks, can anyone show me what the beam tint looks like from the 95 CRI SST-20? I bought this one and got to thinking about the 4000K, how warm does that appear? Anyone know? Haven’t heard from Fireflies on my order, assume they are out for the weekend…

They said nov 13th…
