Thanks for explaining. We did not aware that. now we have to make a deliberate decision about the new name. :person_facepalming:

I will start a new OP for E07 Gen2

42

Wow. If E07 V2 comming out then that is my prefference. 12 emitters are overkill for my needs.

43

magnet removeable

Driver comes with reflashing pads

integratered DTP MCPCB does not save cost, it saves some assembly work though, Replacing main emitters is not complicated, no much difference with regular MCPCB.

New optics is mid-throw-flood, only 30degree available.

44

Price?
Thank you

45

I’m pretty sure the name changed because of some copyright issues and it wasn’t something they wanted to do.

The LH351D will be nice. I’d love to see an E21A version also.

46

There’s always “LightningBugs”. Or “FireBugs”. :laughing:

47

I don’t understand why there is little aluminium mass directly underneath that plate of LEDs (think ROT66) and all that heat sinking around an area that will hold little more then a switch.

Not an expert on thermal management but I challenge some of the smart people here to talk me thru how this design is going to manage the heat.

Or maybe that’s not the point in this case and if so apologies for raising this.

48

How can you tell there is little aluminum mass? The E07 had a very thick aluminum shelf under the mcpcb. It had some of the best heat sinking property for its size. I hope the shelf thickness, which is most important for heat transfer, remains thick like in the E07

49

The design seems to have further reduced the mass of aluminium that could conduct heat away by adding a ‘heat sink’ groove right where there should be a large body of mass to conduct heat away. It appears to be bottlenecked at the place that most needs material.

Bonkers! Haha

Edit: Just saying I can’t recall a design that undercuts the diameter of the aluminium that houses the mcpcb quite like this.

50

Let’s hope this uses Anduril 2. Anduril 1 is an enthusiast only firmware and not good for gifting to muggles.

51

Why not just E12? According to the number of leds.

52

E12R, the R stands for rechargeable. This has USB-C recharge at 2A. Thats a very good recharge rate.

53

+1
Fireflies E12R sounds good

54

I wouldnt risk mine, UNLESS you told and show me how the 12 leds will be batter able to hold X amount of heat where it goes through Y’s dissipation. Hehe, my hope that will solve. I’m not sayin they can’t anyway…but what are the possibillity?

55

Thanks for your input.

I understand red light is for some special use, hunting , signal light etc. but Why using red leds for such a powerful floody light?

We do not supply sliced LH351D, just regular LH351D available.

For E21A light, it is another firefly project.

56

I thought li ion and hot rods aren’t for muggles either? fix for this too?

57

I don’t quite see the point of giving something to The Muggle that needs to be lobotomised for him to “safely” use it.

Just don’t give someone a pipebomb in the first place, eh?

To me, andy2 would be a serious turnoff, even if it could be “easily” have the training-wheels taken off.

58

I’m very interested. It fits my preferences almost completely. I like floddy flashlights, so I’m happy with XPL HD but with so many emitters the HI led is also fine.

I don’t like builtin chargers. I understand that you try to increase sales but for a device aimed at enthusiasts this is bad.

Please use good o-rings. The E07 has bad ones, they get lose and pop out when you lubricate; in the Cu-Ti version of the E07 they’re so bad that I ended up removing it, so it’s no longer water-tight :frowning: The red o-rings are much better, please use them.

I suggest you ask Maukka to do a through review. They’re very useful to our community.

It is a powerful floody light when used at max power, but we do not have to use max power. It can also be an efficient dim floody light with long battery life.

There has been quite a bit of interest on BLF in deep red flashlights recently. Sofirn C01R sold out fairly quickly.

Many special uses:

  • night light that does not contain any blue light, which causes suppression of melatonin and prevents you from sleeping
  • once your eyes adjust to the dark, deep red light allows you to see clearly without destroying your night vision
  • some animals cannot see red light
  • some insects are less attracted to red light
