[♛ FreemeGB] Fireflies PL47 Gen II 4*XP-L/ Nichia/ SST20 Hi CRI 21700 Right Angle Flashlight - ENDED

I’d say it’s a wise comment but you had to make it sexist and parochial in the very last sentence.
I’d say act a little bit less like a man and more like a human being.
You sound like a reasonable guy, try to rethink that. There’s nothing to be afraid of in women! They do drink beer and even have hands where I come from.

FWIW, they are acting like men, not women. Aggression is one of the most sexually-dimorphic behavioral / psychological traits, with men having much higher rates of aggression than women.

Yeah, people keep escalating conflicts and it kinda turns the whole thread into trash. :frowning:

It’d help if people would avoid adding fuel to the fire — avoid insults, avoid emotional and moral-emotional language, avoid speculation, and generally try to ignore flame bait instead of responding to it.

As a general guideline, if there’s an argument and we feel like it’s our duty to reply, or if the reply feels satisfying, it’s probably a sign that the reply will only make things worse. De-escalating conflicts is not a satisfying activity.


(before anyone asks, yes, I recognize the irony above)

I finally recieved my two PL47 ordered on day 1 of the GB. Tracking number never worked and I was going to ask FF in another week why tracking number cant be found.

The PL47 is much smaller than I thought. It is shorter than about every single 18650 lights on the market. I tried over half a dozen 21700 cells and they all fit without any problems except for the Acebeam protected which is too long. But dont think the FET driver would work with protected cells anyways so no point to size the light for something that is not compatible.

The XP-L Hi version is brighter than the D4S. I’m still testing them out while charging up a bunch of cells. Will post more data tomorrow. So far they are real fun to play with and pretty to look at.

I wonder if they accidentally sent you one of the lights that had the magnet removed? My magnet works fine.

The magnet in mine works well. It’s not as strong as the one in my Emisar D4S, but that light has a ridiculously strong magnet- I love it :smiley:

You’re only saying that because there are NO women in the NFL :smiley: :beer:

Mine works OK. Would like if it was a bit stronger.

Great to hear, i ordered a D4S sst20 4000k with magnet in tailcap… :smiley:
Hope it beats the chinese holiday so i get it this year.

My PL47 is still zig zagging around through the US. Maybe it’ll get here some day. Last seen in Lubbock TX by way of Chicago and Denver. I’ve got friends that have been having all sorts of issues with the USPS lately, with lights running around in the delivery truck but never showing up. Hope this all get’s sorted out, welcome to the Holidays huh? :wink:

Maybe your light is taking it upon itself to avoid its final destination because of your track record of supercharging nearly every light you get your hands on!

What? Supercharge? Me? You have GOT to be kidding! I don’t even know how to hook up a supercharger to a flashlight.

Much prefer Nitrous….

I just saw your PL 47 in that Idaho Potato commercial. You know the one, with the bloodhound in the hopped up Studebaker pickup. :person_facepalming:

Dangit! I told Fred to leave my stuff alone! Thanks for the heads-up…

I am eager though, to see how the SST-20’s perform. I have experience with the 40’s of course but these will be my first look at the baby brother. Hoping they aren’t too warm for my liking, if so, I’ll have to gift it. (Or bore it, stroke it, supercharge and twin turbo it before adding the NO2.)

Why do I get the feeling that when your done with that light it’s gonna start singing Johnny Cash’s “I’ve been everywhere man”

Hey, that part isn’t on me… the Post Office can’t figure out where to send it I guess. Crazy. And still it sit’s in Lubbock, beats me why, it sure isn’t a route any of my other 200 lights have taken…

MWS, too big in what way? Too big around? Can you take the wrapper off and fit them in? Can you tell if there may be TWO wrappers? I don’t have those cells but it may be worth trying to get a good measurement on the tube and then contacting IMR battery or Li-ion Wholesale and ask them what 21700’s they have will fit. Stay with the high capacity versions rather than the high discharge.

Fireflies curse continues.

Please see post 1512. Batteries were purchased from illumn.

A ton of arguments are happening in this thread and I just want beamshots :(. It seems like it’s because Fireflies fricked up, rushed everything and was overall very non-communicative leading to people being angry and taking it out on each other. This being my first group buy it left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m not sure if I’ll participate in another one for a while. My light is supposed to arrive today and I’m pretty pessimistic so if it turns out better than I expect I’ll be happy. This should be a learning experience for everyone involved, especially me since I’m in college, broke and I just dropped 60 bucks on a headlamp that I could’ve spent on weed.

Dude, watch the language… good way to get offed the forum. :wink:

Didn’t know that was a thing, changed it. Thanks for letting me know.
