The SBT-90 is a 9mm² die. Luminus nomenclature is straight forward; They put the emitter surface area (multiplied by 10) right in the name. 10, 16, 20, 40, 70, 90, 140 …most are exact figures. I’m not sure how they handle domed emitters ‘apparent area’ though TBH. The reason I mention this is from what I know, the SST20 is a 1.7mm² die. It might be closer to (likely greater than) 2mm² with the dome’s magnification. That’s the only model that I think deviates from its name in exact mm².
ok, thanks, good explanation. Did not know that.
I am anxious to see beam shots of 1.1 and how well it is tuned-in
anyone get one yet???i wanted too see the beam profiles before i resort too the k1…

Nope not yet.

That was my dilemma about a 2 months ago. I couldn’t wait no longer and purchased the k1. But I also purchased this light about 2 weeks ago as well. I’ll report back as soon as I get it
My order shipped yesterday and I just received tracking.
Would the T9R work using an SST20 LED? I think one in 4000K 95CRI would be awesome!

When did you order the flashlight? What led did you choose?
I still waiting for some news about my order on December 13th.

Thanks for your answer. You ordered it 6 days before me. I hope they soon send me mine. In my case, I chose the Osram CULNM1
Cool. I have the slower shipping method, so; it may take a while.
Anybody received one yet… photos?
Artiet59:My Concern- i don’t own a FF light, i have wanted an E07 and E01 for awhile, think their style/aesthetic are nice, sounds liek their performance is very good, but i have read so many mixed reviews about quality, issues, and most importantly customer service.
I bought almost 2 dozen FF lights in the past years. Generally the quality is good especially considering it was their first generation. I had one light with driver issue which FF sent a replacement and another light with one dead aux light. This is one of the reasons why FF decided to make an expensive new premium driver that is not typical for budget lights. I also asked them to make sure to check the aux lights are working fine before shipping.
FF may take a while to respond because they are a small company and Jack likely doesn’t go online often. Sometimes it takes weeks and once even months when they were known as Enogear but he will eventually respond and fix the problem for you. He even sent me a freebie once or twice for waiting a long time.
With the experience gained and lessons learned from their previous lights, FF knows exactly where to improve, and I believe the new lights will be much higher quality. One thing I appreciate about FF compared to the typical flashlight manufacturers is that they actually have a passion for flashlights and always pushing boundaries, not only with lumens and candelas but also with tint, UI, and efficiency that other manufacturers don’t care about because the average customers don’t pay attention or understand the importance of these specs when they purchase flashlights.
I have a bunch of new FF lights ordered and will post some test results as usual.
Look forward to your results!
FF from my examples have been high quality with good value. Hiccups happen.
Would the T9R work using an SST20 LED? I think one in 4000K 95CRI would be awesome!
That would be a nice option to get with the newest FireFlies efficient driver. SST-20 4000K 95CRI is the nicest thrower emitter anyone can get currently (3500K would be also a very good choice).
Also, 3500K is a very good choice for E21A (to be used in NOV-MU).
Fireflies T49R, very curious to see what this is!

T9R but a quad?
If you look at their naming scheme, T = thrower
I’m thinking the same thing, Quad Thrower.
Hopefully will be compact.
Never knew Fireflies (Firefly?) had a second website.
