I would want one in champagne or golden color, just like the first version. I won’t buy a black headlamp when I know it could come out in other colors.
I purchased a Fireflies PL47 Gen 2 and can’t wait. Would’ve been nice to know that you were shipping them on September 15th after I spent 15$ on 4-7 day shipping last Wednesday though…
I bought the Fireflies PL47 G2 in Nealsgadgets on September 9, it is cheaper and includes clip and magnet. I’m impatient for it to arrive … and he not even sent it yet xddd
Still using my Gen 1 PL47 with Nichia 219B’s on a daily basis with the aid of a copper washer and alternating 2 LG M50 INR 21700 5000mAh/7.3A Flat Top Batteries that I have to charge in my older Xtar VP1 because of recessed Button Tops are not detected in my Xtar Dragon charger.
I use it so much that I change batteries at least once a week and many times, once a day. I use this more than any light in my collection which includes 6 headlamps and I will jsut say 100 other lights . It does use up the 21700’s faster than I expected but it has 4 emitters and I like things bright…developing cataracts doesn’t help either.
I have worn out one Jetbeam headband and currently using an Imalent one. Have 10 more new JetBeam headband (my preferred) and Skilhunt headbands (Skilhunt H03 is second “go to” headlamp). With the minor mods, it has been a GREAT light for anything from taking dog out at night to doing home projects to washing dishes, cleaning, finding stuff I drop, and raiding the Frig at night. BTW, do not use a headlamp if you do not want to see how dirty your house really is!
I have a second Gen 1 PL47 that I haven’t taken out of the box. I tend to buy 2 or more of the lights that I really like so I have a backup, especially if it is a choice 219B sw45(k) 9080 emitter. It is a all part of the sickness.
I am sure the Gen 2 will be great with the improvements Jack has implemented and I wish I had the funds to order one…or two… but I will have to sell more lights before I buy new ones…Too many great light coming out so quickly!
Point is Jack and Fireflies push the envelope and stubble a bit but he and his company have always come though for me. You just have to be patient sometimes!
The armytek plastic headbands are the best headbands I’ve seen. It is extremely easy to use. Just pop in and pop out. No need to fit it through the rubber rings. It fits the PL47.
Is it me, or is the optic in the top photo a bit weird - the bottom two seem fine, but the top 2 are kinda overlapped? (by each other and by the bottom 2?) maybe it’s a trick of the light or something?
