FireflyLite E12R 12*emitters 15000LM 1x21700 Flashlight

Currently the best available SST-20 choice is at 4000K (95CRI). Too bad, that Luminus still doe not manufacture 95CRI emitters above 4000K in any of their SST emitters.

As FireFlies has good access to Nichia LEDs, I would recommend them to consider 5700K Nichia 219C - currently the best cool white high CRI 3.5mm×3.5mm LED. However, 219C Nichias cannot take as much power as Samsung LH351D (at most 4A vs. definitely above 5A), so the second best cool/neutral white option is LH351D 5000K 90CRI.

Oh and wait :partying_face:

This would be nice to see in a FireFlies flashlight:

I would call that FireFlies E12R Plus :smiley:

(Notice the bigger 67mm diameter head of the lens - probably much better throw ability)

EDIT:
I just found bexamous’s question:

This specific LEDiL Sandra optic would need a complete head redesign, but is one of the narrowest beam TIRs.

@FireFlies I would love XPL-HI 4000 or 5000K, can you make like with E07?

The more I read on this thread the more I am considering this light. I was pretty much 100% convinced when I first saw this light come up that I didn’t need it nor want it. Now that I think I’m certain Hanks k9.3 isn’t a light for me (though I’m a huge fan of Hanks work and have numerous lights of his), I think this fireflies light is for me. I don’t even completely understand how beneficial the driver is (tho some of the members have been good in educating me) but I see the 1200 lumens for 2.8 hours?! That’s incredible!

Just… which emitter? I can only buy one, and I’m going to have to sell a prized light of mine to get it…

Oh wow this optic would be sweet but not sure if there will be enough demand to justify making a new head for this.

I think Jack mentioned that the E12R would be shipped around January 15th? I bought one (w/ 219B SW45k led’s) around the beginning of December and wanted to see if any of you received any updates on shipping, etc.? I didn’t receive any information yet.

I see on fireflies facebook page that they posted a photo of new host body for flashlights! It look like a brush but I think it is holder for many flashlight body for anodising.

The interesting thing is that there are blue and red colors. I wonder if this is for E12R flashlight?

Kinda looks like T1R and T9R bodies.

These would be E07 gen2. I was emailing fireflies about another E07 and Jack said E07 gen2 is coming out next week, black, navy blue and red color for choice.

Edit: WOops, these are T1R, not E07

I was asking Jack about the T1R and he also said it would be coming out next week and would also be available in Red, Blue, Green and Black. I guess these could be any one of those…

I really LOVE Fireflies clear/polished ano, I was hoping the T1R would come that way based on the initial pictures but he didn’t mention that was gonna be an option.

I received my T9R and NOV-Mu yesterday. The NOV-Mu puts out over 4400 lumens in turbo measuring with my TA tube which is impressive for E21A. The NOV-Mu can sustain 1000 lumens for a pretty good long while, and the built in charging seems to work with USB PD just fine, magnet is nice and strong. The two T9R are nice also, though some imperfections in the reflectors, maybe I will see if Jack can sell some reflectors. He said E12R start shipping Monday.

Please could you share some pictures of the T9R, how about the size?


The head is a bit smaller than the K1, a bit shorter overall.

Very curious to hear your impressions of the T9R compared to K1. Which versions did you receive?

I have the T9R with SBT-90.2 and CULNM1. In my K1 I have the W2.2 CULPM1.TG. The osram T9R put out around 780 lumens, while my K1 puts out 970 with the larger die of the W2.2. Both beams seem comparable in size and throw with a bit less output on the spill of the T9R. I would say it seems to be a good replacement for the K1 because of the built in charging which allows you to use the light while charging. The driver is highly efficient and the body has really good thermal dissipation, not that it seems to generate much heat because of the nice driver. I don’t have the SBT-90.2 in the K1, but in the T9R it does absolutely wonderfully. The current regulation is super spiffy and works very well in all of the new Fireflies lights, it is very efficient and you get pretty low heat output for the large amount of current in these babies, it is a very efficient host and setup.

Lol are you me? I have two MF01S as well and I never use them either. Initially I was enamored with them due to the throw. However once I realized they had the exact problems you mentioned, they fell to the wayside and collect dust now. Heats up extremely quick and lumens fall precipitously, and the host is just uncomfortable to hold.

I have a MF01S and MF02S, so I know what you mean. These are far more efficient and way less bulky, just a generation forward and you can tell.

Mark M, you have very nice collection of new flashlight! I think many people are interested in the driver design of the NOV-MU and new fireflies flashlight because you are first few to receive, and the new Noctigon K9.3. If you have time, can you do quick review and comparison of the flashlight and the new driver? It seem like fireflies has a new driver that is not seen before with charging and buck, but K9.3 has double channel but is linear but no ACM1735. It is exciting new year for flashlight!

you are right. Jack just post photo of new flashlight on the facebook group! The dark green look very nice in my opinon but maybe the red and blue look a bit too ‘bright’.

Apologies for incorrect info above. This is the blue E07X
