Fireflies E07 preview

It’s nice to have the thread back on track with your CuTi E07 pictures but without a TLF account we can only see thumbnails.

ok, I will load the pictures in a cloud and will publish it direct in this forum……Sorry

@Lexel, I do know about leaf spring contacts.

I’m just saying Nitecore should’ve used a better solution than making an unreplaceable cell pack.

I have zero interest in this Cu/Ti E07 after being totally disappointed in the D4 Cu/Ti. The D4 gets blaz'n hot in a couple seconds - pretty useless unless you got thermal protective gloves to operate the thing with. Sure, copper is great for thermal transfer, but there's gotta be a better way to use it, like wrapped in aluminum maybe, I dunno....

CRX has wrapped his triple in titanium. Which didn’t work well. Then he replaced that with carbon fibre and is happy with the result.

ichoderso,

They are beautiful and great pics! Thank for going through the effort of posting them here!

Cheers! :beer: :+1:

@FireFlies, anything else in the pipeline you want to share? A refreshed E07? A new light?

Yes, thank you for taking the time :beer:

Yes, luv the pics - great job!! (should have said so before... )

I do luv the look of copper, but an E07 with all that power is wut scares me - least alum the rest of the light maybe?

It seems E07 Cu edition product page is up on their web

Great deal at $0.00. May have to get one.

Yeah I was looking at that too. The price is right!!!

But somehow I don’t think Fireflies actually means to give these away for free. :disappointed:

I am not a big fan of the Clear-Anodize aluminum, a flashlight should not look too bling bling it should look cool also…for me as a security guard this would look to bling bling being on duty.
However black with copper head would look better, better contrast also…

I guess we will have to wait and see if this is aluminum or titanium. Anyway… I am waiting for the astrolux competitor.

It’s copper main body with TI batt tube and bezel. The other issue besides baller bling is that the TI conducts heat extremely well and makes the entire light, your hand and the cell get extremely hot extremely fast. My raw alu E07 just on stock top of ramp still reaches 50C in like 2-3 mins. Holding a light that’s batt tube is 40+ degrees after a minute wouldn’t be worth the baller bling imo

TI doesn’t conduct anywhere near as well as aluminum yet alone copper.

You should be cautious not using turbo too often and for too long if you didn’t correct the LEDs MCPCB because it is not sitting properly on the head’s shelf and the heat isn’t evacuated properly to the flashlight’s body. Particularly if yours is the Nichia which heats up very quickly.

“15mm thick integrated shelf” :open_mouth:

Just saw that and came here looking for answers. Doesn't look like there are any yet.

That optic though... That's sexy.
