I bought over a dozen Fireflies light direct from the Fireflies website and never saw anything like that. Yours look like a used product. You need to inquire with the dealer where you bought it from.
I’ll second that. My fireflies bought direct have been flawless. The marking around the lanyard hole is a giveaway that yours was at a customer before you. There is no reason that fireflies would try to put a keyring on it.
Im glad to hear both sides of the above issue, because although i’ve had no problems with Neal, I haven’t ordered form him in awhile (for unrelated reasons) and dont want to take the gamble, i know where Ill be buying my upcoming new FF from…
Sounds extremely interesting, especially the combination of the new CULNM1.TG LED, TIR optics, and a high efficient driver.
I’m still missing a combined buck/boost driver for flat regulation, but a buck/FET is already much better than a simple FET - especially because the Osrams are having a quite low Vf.
May I propose a voltage indicator feature using a RGB LED in the switch? Would allow to constantly read the voltage, while charging, while in use, and also while on standby (Andúril supports this).
I have to say, I love the different battery tubes and tritium slots so very well done Fireflies! This model is a good size! Looking forward to it launching.
This is very interesting flashlight. I thought it will use reflector, but it look like Fireflies has release new video of it:
Do anyone know what optics is used? It look like some special TIR optics instead of reflector. Do you know how it compare to reflector? It look like there is aux RGB led under the optics which is probably the reason why alumium reflector is not used.
Are you referring to Acebeam E10, which uses the same optic as the Manker MC13? I don’t see an E01 thrower. Specs on the FF mini thrower is superior to that of the E10 and the light looks much smaller. I’ll see how it compares when I get it.
Has there been more info on price/availability? Seems there has been no updates.
Based on the info in the op.
1. This needs a deep carry pocket clip option
2. The switch needs to be suitably designed (recessed) to avoid accidental activation when in your pocket
