I have the impression that the reason tracking has not been updated once is because of the ceasing of international shipments to Canada.
So, unless Fireflies shipped via Direct Mail/Express shipping, there will be no tracking of sorts.
Which is very puzzling since Sofirn actually shipped using Direct Mail during the strike, and actually has tracking back in Winnipeg, with a cheaper overall package.
The Sofirn lights got shipped earlier than the PL47, and yet, I might get it before the PL47.
I wonder how the lux figures would compare at an equivalent regulated output. If high is the pwm ramp ceiling driven on FET, the SST and xpl can be driven harder meanwhile the 219b output curve reaches it’s max potential. At a regulated level, I would think 219b would do better relative to its current standing based on high and Turbo.
The lux reading is so much higher on the SST-20 because it has higher illuminance/throwier beam.
Royal Mail and other international postal services resumed shipments to Canada right after the strike ended almost three weeks ago. There should at least be tracking at Deutsche Post if the packages have been dispatched from Germany (Canada Post disabled tracking on inbound registered mail in 2015). It would be nice to hear from Freeme/FF whether shipments to Canada have actually been mailed yet.
I got my PL47 in today. Black body, blue board lights with purple switch lights. Looks sharp, the SST-20 95 CRI emitters are a pleasing tint, as it so happens it is very close to what I get from the mixed tints of 17 emitters in my 458 Ham’r, so it’s a big win! 
Now, to decide, gift it to my Son-in-law (a monster I created) or keep it and find him something else? lol
My aux leds are also similar to the D4S on low, the PL47 aux might be slightly brighter. I don’t think they are adjustable like the D4S right?
Also can anyone confirm if a Samsung 30T is ok to use with XPL HI? Ever since fireflies issued the warning I haven’t tested the 30T on turbo. I’m running a 40T but I think the 30T might be brighter? 
The 30T will be brighter but I think the 40T is a better option. The flashlight will get very hot very quickly already with the 40T, so I think the 30T is not worth the shorter runtime and shorter high/turbo. Note that the 40T already has higher current than the 18650’s and 26650’s.
I’d use the 30T with the E07, that has 7 emitters.
The Aux lights have low high and locator settings, if I remember correctly from just a little while ago. It’s boxed back up…
Edit: Sorry, the Aux has low, locator, and off. In low the switch LED’s are all lit, in locator only two are constant and the other two flash with the main board LED’s. When the Aux lights on the main board are turned off, only two of the switch LED’s are lit.
I had hoped to get the mixed board LED’s like TK did, purple and blue would have been cool, but mine are all blue.
Running it on an iJoy 21700.
Good idea! However, would 7 emitters and 30T possibly damage XPL HI (my preferred LED) with too much heat?
I am sorry if I missed it, but was anyone able to reproduce the 5000 lumens claimed by Fireflies for the XPL-Hi versions? The maximum output measured in this thread was 4405 with lower readings for other 21700 batteries.
Aux leds are not adjustable - on off -or blink only
This I can vouch for in reference to the 40t’s. I recieved my two XPL HI’s today along with my charger to charge the 40t’s. They charged quick enough that I was able to take them out for some play time tonight and cclight is correct in saying these babies get extremely hot already. To the point that I was having to hold on to the tailcap. On the flip side of that coin, it only gets that hot when running on turbo or at the top of the ramp. I ramped about half way up and the light never did really get hot yet still provided plenty of useable light. I’ve been a zebralight fan boy for years but if this light continues to grow on me, it’ll be my new go to headlamp. In fact, thinking about maybe getting an SST version as well.
I will add that the magnets were glued in even though I requested them not to be, and I should have recieved four headbands but only recieved three. I ordered one for each since I was uncertain if I was gonna recieve the free ones.
No. The firmware has thermal protection and will reduce output when the temperature raises too much. Also, the E07 has almost twice the number of emitters, and the 30T doesn’t give this much more current than other batteries. Given that other quad flashlights work fine (with other batteries), we can be sure that the leds will have no problem in the E07 with the 30T.
Not sure what planet you tested your 30T’s on cclight, but mine give far more current in most lights than any other cell I’ve tested against them, and I’ve tested a lot. If there is a potential for a high draw, the 30T far and away excels.
Edit: Ok, so I did a little test…
I used the 458 Ham’r with it’s 17 emitters and 5 MOSFET’s to just find out what cell gives what… For this test I used a single cell powering the Ham’r, 10 top cells in 4 sizes, couple of surprises… for the record, in the 21700 class the nearest competitor is ranked 8th, with 20700’s in the 6th and 7th spots. Enjoy!

That was the E07, not the PL47. PL47 is blue for high voltage or red for low voltage.
There are three sets of extra LEDs:
The controllable button LEDs and aux LEDs can be on, off, or blinking… and they do this in sync with each other. And they turn off when the main LEDs are on. It’s not like the Q8 where the button LED mirrors the main LED brightness, and it’s not like the D4S where the aux LEDs have two brightness levels.
Ahhh, I see… waiting on the machine clear finish to be available on the E07, sometime after Christmas.
I am too lazy to charge my 21700…
4140 lumen… xpl hi 5000k. Battery is around 4.0 v.
I will do another test again this week.
I made a PL47 anduril ramp configuration estimated [stepped] lumen table so i could see theoretical lumen values of ramp ceiling minus n. So eventually 2 clicks will be my normal operating level once i determine highest level it maintains, and the table will give me a basis for estimating what lumen level i am running at. assuming my table is even slightly working
I assumed i start at 150 and i did it in increments of 10. The nichia with a blf user estimated max level of 1800lm (texastoast/skv89). The xpl 5000k blf est max level>4000lm +/- 250 (newlumen/skv89) and the sst 4000k est blf max ~2500lm (komeko)
Obviously, reports are still coming in for lumen estimates so that piece is REALLY ROUGH and turbo seems to be a function of which cell, and only at turn-on, etc. But does my scribble table work? Or is there some wierd curve or slope thing that would render my table completely off, in other words does regulation and magical electronicky stuff inside the light, make a table like this kind of favoring like say a bell curve or something. I think what i show is a linear breakdown of ramp ceiling (or floor if you go the other way). But i dont know the hardcore aspects of how it really works, so i dont know if it holds up. But i wanted to have some foggy sense of what my ceiling lumen level would be once i discover what level seems to hold without dimming. I understand there are many variables like lite temperature, battery level, room temperature and these sorts of things that are not accounted for in this table—but as a rough estimator could this sort of work?
[Edit: i guess my working assumption is that the ramp function is a consistent linear progression like the slope of a pyramid, each step spaced equally from one to the next. As opposed to say the slope of an inground pool, where it (output)is weighted differently at different points on the slope….i guess, and this is way above my paygrade so i cant quite articulate it but i can visualize it, in mathspeak logorithmic/ exponential/ or linearithmic slopes, or some kind of curvey hilly thing vs a straight incliney thing].
So.: to explain the table, for instance, take nichia @~1800 max lumen. 1800=150 on ramp config. Minus 10 presses (140) gives me a theoretical lumen value of 1680. And so on and so forth. Math is 140×1800÷150=1680…130×1800÷150=1560. [Linear] vs 140×1800÷150=1680…(130+/-n)×1800÷150=x. Or ((130×1800)+/-n)÷150=x[curvey]. or something like that, to indicate that each step is not equally spaced from adjacent steps.
[Edit2: and frankly it feels like there are 2 independent pieces to this equation. Spacing as in distance in the ramp one step to the next and secondly, output as a distinct variable independent to the spacing because of driver and such. It would be nice if my simple formula works but it feels more complicated than that.]
I should have paid more attention in math class.
Does this even come close to holding up or am i completely off?
And i guess the follow up if it seems sound could i use the same simple math to figure out levels within a stepped configuration. So floor equals 10 ceiling equals 100 with 3 steps. So for the nichia i arrive at step1 ~120lumen s2 ~660lm s3 ~1200lm.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Received my black neutral XP-L Hi today and after all the negativies I’ve read all over here are my first impressions:
-anodising is flawless (time will tell for how long)
-yes, the supplied headband is crap, but all my other headlamp’s bands seems to work just fine, so no worries
-it feels a bit headheavy, but I guess that’s acceptable too, since it wasn’t intended as a headlamp
-UI seems good and since it’s programmable, it should satisfy most
-the 18650-adapter seems to do its job nicely, since I’m still waiting for my 40T’s to arrive and my only 21700 (Wuben), is about 1 cm too long
-tail magnet is so weak, it won’t hold the lamp anywhere
I’m yet to test it outside, but so far it looks nice. Especially considering the price…
I guess I now can order another FireFlies, I’m just trying to decide will it be another PL47 or the E07…
yes I am happy with mine as well. It has given me the confidence to go ahead and order another fireflies flashlight. Probably the E07
