I am anxious to see beam shots of 1.1 and how well it is tuned-in

drizzydrake100 · January 2, 2021, 4:18pm

anyone get one yet???i wanted too see the beam profiles before i resort too the k1…

Hardusvd70 · January 2, 2021, 4:24pm

Nope not yet.

blueb8llz · January 2, 2021, 8:05pm

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.

Pavlo · January 6, 2021, 8:06pm

Would the T9R work using an SST20 LED? I think one in 4000K 95CRI would be awesome!

Miguel_79 · January 6, 2021, 8:18pm

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

Glowbug · January 6, 2021, 9:55pm

Cool. I have the slower shipping method, so; it may take a while.

Kona_G · January 15, 2021, 6:53pm

Anybody received one yet… photos?

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.

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?

SKV89 · January 21, 2021, 12:14am

If you look at their naming scheme, T = thrower

Pavlo · January 21, 2021, 12:59am

I’m thinking the same thing, Quad Thrower.
Hopefully will be compact.

twisted_raven · January 21, 2021, 3:06am

Never knew Fireflies (Firefly?) had a second website.

Some quick measurements using 30t on all three lights. All three lights have the sbt90. From left to right. T9r, ft03s, k1vn90.
Brightness doing simple ceiling bounce at turn on:
T9r- 730 lux
Ft03s- 730 lux
K1vn90- 850 lux

Throw measurements 25 feet away:
T9r- 478
Ft03s- 546
K1vn90- 655

This is not a review. Just my quick take on the light. I haven’t played with the light yet. But so far so good. I like that it doesn’t look like your typical flashlight. The head looks strange how it tapers off smoothly until it reaches the body. The tail cap thread was really dry but fireflies did include a small tube of lube. Finish seems well, no sharp edges. Fits well in hand. And weight distribution is fairly even. I’m still unsure about the switch. It’s kinda hard to explain. There’s not much travel on the switch being you don’t need to press down to far to activate it. And there is barely a audible sound when pressing the switch. But because of the short travel, the switch takes a bit of pressure to press down. Not hard at all, but just different. You guys will see what I mean once your light arrives. Or maybe someone can better explain this.
