Optics make the differrnce less noticeable. I got my first SST-20’s in an E07, while the beam profile was pleasant tint shift had me pull that emitter quite fast…
I have experienced severe issues with my order from Banggood, especially about missing accessories and poor quality, see here:
https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/53669/1695
Now, it already felt happy to read that BG customer service told me they would resend the item to me. Apart from that I understood they were offering me 1000 BG points as a token for the inconvenience caused. So, I replied back to them I would be happy to accept both resending the item and the 1000 BG points.
Now, I got another e-mail that sounds a bit different. Now, they are talking about "the spare part item". Any ideas how to read this? Will they be sending me a complete new flashlight with accessories or just the missing accessories ("the spart part item" does not sound like multiple accessory items)?
Well, if this was the outcome of my complaint they would still ignore the poor quality of my item. I was already surprised when they offered me a new item in the first place as usually I’m used to debate and fight for a little bit of compensation.
What a joke…after promising to resend the E07 (see e-mails above) Banggood now changed their mind and decided to only send me the clip and the o-ring…that’s all.
Sorry for the slow follow up. That is correct. You should be good to go with a calibrated thermal sensor and a 55 Celsius limit. It should still step down, but more slowly, and not as far, and the body will get hotter.
I have what appears to be a nice black version two E07, XP-L HI emitters in the high power option 6500K tint with blue auxillary LED’s. Full package, adapter, o-rings, manual, clip and even Samsung 40T. Most would think SWEET, but the problem is I actually paid for two GT Micro’s which I do NOT have.
So I have $90 tied up in the E07 package sitting there unusable to me. (I have to consider it not mine as it isn’t what I ordered) My buddy, the guy one of the GT Micro’s was ordered for, anxiously awaits his White Flat GT Micro and I have no idea when or if it’s gonna happen. (Right, I was gonna mod it, both actually)
And so it goes… responsibility, the hidden gem of the new world.
wow so bizzare…. but who got the other package wrong then, must be someone here on BLF maybe ? i dont get it… tell them u dont want the lights u didnt order and they must fix this somehow… hahah
Here’s a comparison of the X-PL HI and SST-20 in a D4S. Both are around similar output/lumens here, the high CRI 4000K SST-20 will have slightly lower output.
I received my Fireflies E07 Friday of last week and it has a strange issue that my Fireflies PL47 has never had:
I will take a video to show you what’s happening but when I ramp up to the top of the ramp (not turbo) the light flickers very heavily and rapidly once it reaches the top of the ramp. This happens if I keep holding the button or if I release the button as soon as it reaches the top of the ramp. The flickering happens most of the time and can last anywhere from 2 – 10 seconds.
It also happens if I save the top of the ramp setting as the memory setting and turn the light off then on again.
Like I said, my PL47 doesn’t have this issue and is totally stable once it reaches the top of the ramp
