Fireflies PL47 Flashlight

Here is a post with seemingly bright Aux LED’s:

I thought I read there is an adjustment screw inside the light you can change the brightness of the Aux LED’s.

Any clean way to get the press fit bezel off?

If I mar the light, I’ll have a freak out!

I have two of these, and as you can see, they have very different brightness levels.

Ya…exactly…its not just a matter of camera variances. “Trit” bright is good enough, but would have liked mine to be brighter…but I realize its just cosmetic and dimmer is fine for location in the dark. Thanks for the picture!

Maybe someone will get the bezel off and find the adjustment screw…

Sorry, the way the PL47’s aux LEDs are implemented, there’s no way for the MCU to turn down the brightness on them. It can only turn them on and off.

And, although there’s a screw inside to adjust the brightness, it’s not physically accessible.

So… the aux LED brightness is just random.

Someone needs to crack open that bezel!!

now how do you set the ceiling? Do I need to click 155 times for the highest.

The ceiling is 1 click for the highest level, 2 clicks for the 2nd-highest level, 3 clicks for the 3rd-highest level… etc.

There are 150 levels total, and the default ceiling is 120 out of 150… or 31 clicks.

Thanks that clears up a lot . Also I love the lighting mode . Great work

I can’t get the smooth ramping to work on my 2nd PL47. Just flickers alot. Stepped ramping works fine. Kinda stumped.

Never mind, got it. Something so simple was difficult for a moment.

Mine arrives tomorrow. Any tips?

Turn mogle off per the instructions. It’s 3 clicks for smooth ramping and double click for turbo. That’s all I use.

Neither of mine arrived in muggle mode

Weird. Both of mine did just like the instructions said. Never know I guess. Guess everyone will find out when they turn it on.

Well one of mine also had a beat up 18650 still inside ( looks like a battery pack pull VTC 6) so they may have been testing for some reason and not set back to muggle mode.

Both of mine came in muggle mode. Nice lights no battery issues, definitely have to tighten battery down tho.

I wonder is it possible to verify type of LED used in PL47. I ordered one with nichia 219b, but light from it looks warmer than my ROT66 with same LEDs and it has tight hotspot, something I would expect from SST-20’s.

How do you know? Nothing has been updated for me on any tracking site.

Mine is arriving today… Wooohoo!!! Fingers crossed that I won’t encounter any problems/defects with it!

My PL47 just hit the USA last week…I think I ordered on Black Friday weekend…from 11/28 until 12/20 there was crickets; 17TRACK showed it as waiting on the seller on the China EMS end all that time. This is how bad overseas tracking is. You have to be patient. Then there’s the slow cargo ship that got caught in a big storm, my flashlight went overboard, got swallowed by a kracken, he shat it out, a dolphin found it and used it to light his way to Nova Scotia, he passed it to some Canadian geese who used it to light their way flying to Florida for the Winter, they dropped it (butterfingers) over the harbor in NYC, it landed on a pimp who traded it for some rock candy with a lady who also works at a mail sorting center, it then fell out of her pocket and got scanned into the USPS shipping system and now I have some tracking finally from both 17TRACK and USPS. Whew. I’m looking at the positives, at least it has been working!

My kracken must have constipation…
