Ff light

E07X Red Nichia arrived. All good. The simple UI w/ option for advance operation is a useful choice.

Nice :+1: I almost ordered that one before Neal sold out of it.

I may reflash these to latest Anduril v1 depending how daily carry goes with v2

My sst20 e07x is here, not a hint of green on any level. Not able to test for a few days not at home.

Top ramp is PINKER than 219b

Wow, really? I’m hoping it’s even more rosy than the e12r, which isn’t bad and better than Hanks sst20 right now, but still not rosy. Good to hear!

Neal’s has 15% off the Fireflies still. Code:NDNA.

Aso, if you email Fireflies and ask if they have an coupon codes for return customers, they should hook you up with about a 15% coupon too. Just give it a couple days then ask again if he doesn’t respond. You will def end up getting a coupon if you don’t mind being a bit patient.

What does this even mean? How is it possible? SST20 is a yellow light, how is it magically pink now? You sure they aren’t Nichia’s in there? Cause pinker than a 219B I’m super confused.

Im back at tent, compared to a 219b light its not as rosy. I was just comparing to sun earlier

Whew, you scared me. I thought I was gonna HAVE to buy another E12R. :slight_smile:

Damn, how many manufacturers do you contact? I’ll bet I’ve only done that 3 times in my relatively long life.

Well, just received mine yesterday and have got to say…
I`m not impressed.
Tailcap threads are crap, secondaries even on high are too low partly because even though the optic is clear, where the secondaries are is not.
Maybe Fireflies should forget about secondaries all together.

Damn… wish I knew that… I’ve spent $500 in the last couple months, would’ve saved me a chunk of change …

Secondaries should be adjustable by pots on board under lens. Low or hi left is low right is hi. At least on Mateminco it is. Mine seem just right for brightness but I’m sure someone will weigh in on with more experience than I on adjustment.

This may be nit picking but although secondaries on my light are bright enough they are not centered. A1-2-3 pyramid should be oriented up or down with switch and charging bay. This might be my borderline OCD kicking in. What do others think about this?

E07 has(d) pots, but my copper e07 did not - do not expect it. I posted a comparison thread. Copper had different tir (20 vs 25?) And simpler led board. Didnt check e07x but dont think nov-mu did

It is becoming dim outside now, this may not be as rosy as 219b but it isn’t what i would call yellow. Distinctly low duv, cant wait to test with the spectro when i get home. My Fb4’s were yellow with mild green tint, this is nothing like that ugly D4 I sold! If anything I would call it orange

Beam is quite a bit narrower, i think

4000k pierces fog much better than 219b even with ugly fb4…

Th ask for the update. I could never mess with the SST20’s when there are better options. But an orange hue instead of a yellow one is something I might be able to get on-board with. I saw a 2000K Nov-mu and the heavy orange in that actually was very appealing. I guess FF got a nice batch of them.

yes, the only thing about the e12r i do not like is how the secondaries look (mediocre), either Hank has set the standard too high, or FireFlies failed on that. But i think FireFlies us failed a little on it, and i say that because on my KR4 / D4 (29mm wide head) there are 8 RGB auxiliaries, and on my e12r (47mm head) there are 9 RGB auxiliaries… So FireFlies just is not using enough at all IMO. The K9.3 has 15 RGB auxiliaries i believe…

But if i remember correctly FireFlies may be putting the auxiliaries on the main mcpcb with the LED’s, so maybe there isn’t enough room for more…

Tailcap threads only seem crap before you apply the lubricant, which I think FireFlies was very kind to include (many re-lubrication possible with that amount).

The E07X Pro has 6 groups of RGB aux LEDs, which may seem a bit less than desired, but I am absolutely fine with it (even would be with only 3).
Also, I am happy with the decision to include aux LEDS on the main MCPCB, because adding that second MCPCB can make a price difference, which I wouldn’t be really happy to pay (I acknowledge though, that others would).

I am really blown away with this batch of SST-20 4000K with the much superior FA4 tint. I would happy to see a GD1 option as well (similarly rosy, but a bit under 3500K).

I don’t think you are meant to use the unanodized tailcap at all, in fact the one time i tried it made the light bugger out and lock up firmware. It was a mistake to not use square threads or longer threads for the head end … A big one

Received them today! I am BLOWN AWAY, these E07x's are everything I LOVE about the e12r, but in pocketable form! They are a little heavier than i expected, and i really, really like that! they're solid. These two lights are so awesome, i am so happy with them. The RGB are totally fine and look great! Not a complaint yet, cant wait to start using them.

The anodization on both of these, both color and finish are amazing, the nicest of any lights I have! That red.. damn.

Also, the sst20 5000k looks really good. I have went to complete xpl-hi recently with every light i have ordered, and haven't had a sst20 5000k in months. It looks nice and white, a little green at Low levels, but overall im very happy. Wow, i think ill be ordering a Black nichia version too. And of course the fa4 sst20 4000k looks great, i am going to compare to my e12r and see if there is a difference. I have found differences in xpl-hi 5D bins before.

Navy Blue = sst20 5000k

Red = sst20 4000k

Very curious on how the beam and throw compare between e12r and e07x in SST20 4000k :slight_smile:
