New Fireflylite T9R STB90.2 / Osram 1x21700 Thrower Preview

Commercial Sellers' Spot

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.

17

Love it

18

The old name Fireflies was better, Fireflylite is not as good.

This is amazing:
• Most efficiency 6A Constant current regulated Buck/Boost driver , Efficiency > 90%
• Built-in USB Type-C 2A fast charging

It is great to see more flashlights with efficient buck/boost drivers!

Could you also offer SBT-90 RED as an option? It has a low forward voltage, and it would really benefit from the buck/boost driver.

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!

20

Noctigon K1 used to cost $80 but now it costs $90…

If this flashlight costs $60 - $70, it will make the K1 completely obsolete IMO.

Is there any ETA for release or info about pricing?

21

I doubt this will cost less than the K1 if it uses buck-boost driver.

22

Can't compete with the larger K1 - a 64 mm diam. head is smaller than the 72 mm K1.

I'm getting over 500 kcd on my K1 SBT90.2.

23

Am I missing something about the boost part ? I only see buck being mentioned in the OP.

24

Any idea of the preorder or release date?

25

I thought it was buck boost. Turned out it’s buck only.

26

Yeah only buck. That is the info they gave me.

27

EST Around 10th Nov

28

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.

29

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?

30

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.

31

Is the release date still around the 10th?

32

I don’t experience that with my ft03s, wel when it does kick down I just double click it back up. Does get hot but that goes without saying. Looks like I need the K1 now, although I am too tempted at the copper ft03s… and this FF… crap…

33

Did Fireflies answer this? I'm curious if they actually sourced CULNM1.TG or if it's a typo and they really meant one of the other three combinations (CSLNM1.TG or CSLPM1.TG or CULPM1.TG). :X My understanding was that the CULNM1.TG BoostHXL 1mm was difficult to get a hold of. For example, Convoy offers many varieties of the Osram flat, but not the BoostHXL 1mm white.

I feel like most people don't realize how many versions there are of this LED.

34

White – KW CULNM1.TG – 4040 (1mm²) 3.3 A max / 4 A pulse (Boost HL)
White – KW CULPM1.TG – 4040 (2mm²) 6.6 A max / 8 A pulse (Boost HX)

There is no Boost HX in 1mm² size -- that one is called the Boost HL.

Hank has the Boost HL's, but not listed yet.
