I’ll diddo what G.P. said. I have three PL47s, a black 4000K XPL HI, a black 5000K XPL HI and one of the champagne 4000K SST20s and I use the heck out of them. My go to is the 4000K XPL HI because I enjoy the color the most. However, the 5000K XPL has the widest spill which I really like as well so I find myself reaching for it when I’m gonna be out in the yard just doin general stuff after dark. The SST20 doesn’t get used nearly as much as the other two but is still a good addition to the collection. If indeed they are working on a V2, I’ll be excited to see what improvements they come up with.
It stopped working all together and I almost beat this light with a hammer. I used the copper wound around the tail cap and it worked. So much time has been wasted just trying to get this thing to turn on.
My God…I have been spoiled with Zebra/Emisar. It’s terrible because the idea of this light is fantastic. It’s sad that they lost my future business.
Edit: I might of misunderstood the UI. I must of confused it a bit. I THINK I have it figured out now. But how do I choose between ramped and smooth?
Ok it’s 3 clicks from the on position. Sorry, I have had this flashlight for like 2 months and finally got around to working on it. Appreciate the help.
I hope they improve the button’s quality. Fireflies buttons doesn’t feel as good to click as the buttons on Emisar flashlights… Sometimes the FF buttons are “mushy” to click.
FireFlies, how about your quality assurance? I was unlucky enough to receive faulty PL47 twice (more info ). Having this balast of experience I’m struggling with myself. On one hand this is a great project and a headlight that ticks most boxes for me, on the other… I need tons of trust for you to make another order.
Interested in this version 2. I liked the first one despite of its flaws and issues. Hopefully these come with easier to remove bezel. I had to break the lens to change leds in my first one. Or maybe more emitter choices? I think i’d like 3000K sst-20s or 7A xpl-hi.
The photos from their site show a different and seems like a better headband.
