Definitely some numbers here that don’t add up, but looking forward to see more of this. Looks really nice in some aspects. Osram PM1 seems a good fit. SBT90 is just a bit too much for this format imo, but there’ve been worse applications. Too bad there isn’t something in the ~6mm² class with competitive surface brightness… here’s for hoping an SBT70.2 comes about.
6A should be good for a BoostHL though maybe 5.5A is probably best. Remember this is a CULNM1.tg not CSLNM1.tg.
I think SBT90.2 is great in this host. You don’t have to run it on turbo. If it is run on 6A, the SBT90.2 will be super efficient and can stay cool probably indefinitely. But I think maybe 8A-10A max regulation would be best for added flexibility. But regardless, this is the best SBT90.2 host/driver I’ve seen in the mid/small size range. Mega performance and buck-boost driver in a small package (relative to its throw specs).
Yes yes! Welcome back Fireflies with a new light! I was checking on your website last few months for signs of a new light!
As w/ others have said, I think 6A is too low for SBT90.2? Do love the USB-C charging tho, and host looks like its got good cooling properties.
I’ve been scratching my chin over a small, but super powerful thrower with this emitter when I saw the Lumintop one and the one from Amutorch. I can’t wait to see a head to head in the future. This one has a pretty cool look to it. Their designers crafted a great looking light!
That’s around the corner but still quite a whiles a way. I’m really looking forward to this light, maybe I’ll purchase a k1 to keep me entertained for the time being.
This is interesting. I have to ask though. With SBT-90.2 and Anduril, will this light exhibit the premature throttling of the output like on the Astrolux FT03S?
Considering I haven’t heard of it occurring on the K1 w/SBT90.2 that probably comes down to component placement/overall design and potentially also having a proper firmware version that is calibrated for that version of the light - something Hank has for every light AFAIK, and which Fireflies may have for some of their newer models.
