Ff light

I made a post here a few weeks ago with the original release dates and stats. ’Course it’s been delayed since then, but there’s some info…

One discovery I’ve made is that the head threads of my Nov-Mu can be screwed in fairly smoothly after a bit of a break in period. I believe this is from the springs compressing a bit from use. It also really helps if you unscrew the tail threads just a bit to give the springs a bit more room to expand.

I gave Jacky another call today so I’ll write some of the info I received here. Please note that my mandarin is rather rudimentary at best so I may have gotten some of the translation wrong/misunderstood what he said.

1. The T1R’s release looks like it’ll be delayed until July. This is because they’re having trouble getting the necessary chips for the driver from the US due to the chip shortage.

2. Jacky said the short tube will be available on their website tomorrow ($15) and it’ll come with a clip.

3. Their updated headlamp will be released in May. Jacky mentioned they’ll have an option similar to the Nov-MU with slightly fewer LEDs. My understanding is that it’ll use the new buck driver and there will be a mule option (E21As) available.

4. I mentioned to him that people weren’t so happy about him not answering emails and he said he was sorry and it is because he is very busy away from home for work. He’ll try to answer all emails but replies will be a bit slow.

Any info about E07X?

We are all in waiting mood :smiley:

i love you for posting that, and for FireFlies to finally release it! thanks atobe!

i have noticed recently (yesterday) with FF that it is really hard to make a LED decision, and even harder to not just order 2-3 lights :person_facepalming:

The LED decision is made even harder by listing the same option twice as they did in the link supplied by atobe 5 posts above.

SST20 NW 4000K 95CRI or
SST20 NW 4000K 95CRI

I wonder what I`ll get?

Yes, that one got me too. I actually didn’t notice it the first time I looked at it. Because, you know, I opened and closed and walked away and opened the link again about a dozen times before deciding on an emitter I now regret. Ohwell, I feel I would’ve regretted any decision as I ideally would buy three of those lights. . I’ll just have to order another in July :smiley:

I don’t want to derail the topic but FF did say they were going to make/sell a FF flashing kit like hank. Anyone heard/have updates on it?

Confirmed their sst20 bin is FA4 (low duv, better than high like FB4…)

How does the FA4 bin compare to the SST20s in the MF01S (forgot the bin)? Bought mine when it came out and I’m not really a huge fan of the tint. It isn’t bad but can sometimes look green and is too warm for my liking. If I’m reading the datasheet correctly it seems like the FA4 should be even rosier that the FA3 which itself is meant to be a good tint.

^ to piggyback that, does anyone know what the early fw3a had for sst20 4000k bin? mine were perfect IMO.

I think I read those were fa4. Never seen fa4 myself. Fa3 is almost on bbl

thank you, great to know.

Heads up to anyone interested- I did get shipment notifications for all three lights I ordered from Oliver at FireFlies yesterday. So that was some peace of mind. Also, the new e07x shipped too.

Really? Said my e07 pro will be in next month lol

Well it shipped, it said it will take 15-35 days to come in. In my experience with bang good and neals is it will take 30 ish days too, like yours. Or are you saying they said it won’t ship until next month? Maybe it’s my emitter choice? I got sst20’s

My order was sst20 too
