That’s rediculous. I cant weld tape.

I think Fireflies should ship out replacement headbands that actually work.

PL47 arrived today. Overall very happy with the light, it fits in my pocket better than expected! Similar to Nite Shadow’s light 21700 50E cells require extra force when tightening. However, 30T/40T/48G cells fit perfect and do not require any extra tightening force.

I can confirm the PL47 works with the Armytek Wizard Pro headband, although not as balanced and a bit heavier. Wizard Pro with cell = 106g | PL47 with cell = 142g.

Here are a couple shots next to a D4S.

Just ordered some 48g’s since my 50e’s sound like they are not going to fit very well.

How’s the xpl hi throw looking?

Was this light even marketed as a headlamp?

not until they offered a headset
and that was clamored by the ppl wanting it as such
prolly bite them in the A$$

Well that didn’t take long…love the basics of the UI and already got tbe hang of the button feel enough that this PL47 with the JetBeam HC20 headband, it is now my new daily use headlamp. Have worn it on and off for about 4 hours today amd no real noticable weight difference from my Skilhunt H03. Very Comfortable. Winner winner chicken dinner! Just going to order some 48G’s that are slightly shorter that I hear are still good for this 219B containing light.Thanks to noboneshotdog for the insight above and other members that I can not remember (sorry)! Cheers!

BTW, shaved my head so no chance of hair catching fire! :smiley: :sunglasses: :wink:

I was actually thinking about the new headband from Armytek . Not the silicone one.
Good to hear that it’s fully usable with the standard silocone ones.

For those who have access to 3d printers and have no knowledge of creating models there’s this from citruspers in thingiverse. I might try it when my Pl47 arrives and I have measured it and adjusted the size. I see one advantage over the standard armytek is that its easier to mount and adjust angle with clip on.

You know you’re a hardcore flashaholic when you shave your head just so your headlamp won’t light your hair on fire. :disappointed:

Please, stop with the political correctness :smiling_imp:

rubber tubing works (eg:like and inner tube) but thats still not idea… For as cheap as £1.23 you may as well get a headband…

printed the mount you link to…

make sure you increase print by 15% as it will be too small for the pl47 general print settings 20% infil an ).2 res… but works a treat… I used the head bands strips from the epic failed ones that came with ou pl47s. Feels very secure… Should work nicely…

The silicone one is a tight fit, but it works. I don’t know if that hard plastic headband you linked would work, the diameter of the PL47 is larger than the Wizard.

Has anyone tried to attach it to their head with duct tape?
A wise man said you can fix anything with duct tape. If you can’t, you’re not using enough duct tape.

I saw a young man walking with Some duct tape and I asked him where are you going with that duct tape. he says I’m gonna catch some ducks. I said you can’t catch no ducks with duct tape. he says, you don’t know what you’re talking about and walked off.
I saw him a few hours later with a bunch of ducks caught in the duct tape. I said “wow, that’s amazing!!”

The Next day I saw the kid walking past my house with chicken wire. I asked him where you going with that chicken wire he says, I’m gonna catch some chickens. I said you can’t catch no chickens with chicken wire. He shook his head at me and says “yeah yeah yeah. you don’t know what you’re talking about.
couple hours later he comes back as a whole crap load of chickens caught up in the chicken wire. I said wow that’s amazing!

The 3rd day i saw him walking past my house with pussywillow in his back pocket. I shouted to him, “Hold up! Let me get my coat!!!”

From some photos I saw earlier, it looks as if FF haven’t used retaining rings for the driver or the tail PCB, but are just relying on contact between the ends of the tube and the PCB surfaces. Perhaps there is no other current path, hence the sensitivity to cell dimensions ?

Since I don’t have one, this is just supposition by me.

LMAO!!!

Seems to make sense to me, but then shouldn’t everyone with a glued-in magnet under the tail cap PCB have the same over-tightening issue? If not, perhaps there is a flaw in my tail-cap. It will be interesting to hear feedback as others receive their PL47’s.
