Thank you for your unboxing. The pictures are great, particularly the size comparison with the E07. I already own two E07s, which I love.
So, I was wondering where you see the E01 fitting into the FF lineup, other than its lower price point.
In other words, why would anyone with an E07 be interested in owning the E01? (It appears taller than an E07. I was kind of hoping it would be more pocket friendly than the E07, but from a size standpoint, it doesn’t appear to be.)
I would be interested in your perspective, since you own both lights.
Thank you for the beamshots, can you do a comparison beamshot with something similar. like the Emisar D1 (I know is reflector instead of optic) for reference?
… because it makes the E01 a great dev host. I made good use of it while adjusting thermal regulation code recently. This graph shows a before/after of how that went:
But that doesn’t matter to most people. It also works well as, um, a flashlight.
Fwiw I found my E01 pretty simple to flash with an soic clip.
Desolder led wires
Push led- wire down into hole
Use small poker tool to push out driver
Flip driver over in place and attach clip to flash.
You DON’T have to mess with the switch wires at all and no components on board interfere with the clip!
I built anduril for the PL47 target, the ROT66 target will work too but the ramp shape will be off. I need to update one of my E07’s back to an UTD pl47 build asap, (it’s ramp is visibly nonlinear after I loaded a ROT66 based hex onto it).
Also Atmel MCUs changed the markings recently, first being thought it’s a Chinese fake, reason Microchip bought Atmel
Likely also production of new MCUs in China now so spotted first on Chinese drivers
Its a year now and still MCUs from Mouser show old markings probably will change too until they run out of stock
