New Fireflylite T9R STB90.2 / Osram 1x21700 Thrower Preview

December 7 2020

Fireflies T9R single 21700 Thrower

  • Emitter type: Luminous STB90.2

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?

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? :open_mouth:

If you look at their naming scheme, T = thrower :wink:

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

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.

Nice to see the T9R side by side with the K1.
How do they compare?

^ +1

Thanks for your impressions, how do they compare heat wise? From the shape of the lights I’d assume that the T9R would have the most efficient heat management, and that the driver would create less heat compared to the fet ones.

Is this about the store Brayn Gear. If it is BEWARE. Brayn gear is not on the level. Check out the ROT66 they have in custom lights They have arot66 what they are calling a S50. The light is listed for 219 dollars on sale for 77. Ask them why its a 219 dollar light. Then look at Specifications . Its the old bait and switch.

It shouldn’t. Because it is a thrower.

FireFlies, please, this has to be a quad SST-20 95CRI / quad Osram thrower :partying_face:

Please target above 300 kCd intensity with the SST-20 95CRI option.

I’d like something around the size of the TN40 or perhaps a little bit smaller. 4,000 lumens and 6-700kcd with good heatsinking for at least 3-4 minutes of sustained turbo.

lol, nothing too unreasonable then :smiley:
