【 ACTIVE 】 FIREFLIES ROT66 Generation II  SST20 / XPL HI / OSRAM ✺ BEST PRICE EVER FOR SILVER VERSION

GERFlash · 2020-09-02T15:51:24.000Z

Hey,
Is there a code for XPL 5000K?
The best would be black, but silver is also okay.

Hope you have something for me.
Love your code @Fin17

I'd like a code for the black Nichia version once that's available again :)

do 3x Imalent MRB 186P30 fit and work in the Rot66 gen2? These are Buttontop Protected Cells with 15A Output height 6,92cm

Don’t use protected cells in this light.
First, it will not work at it’s full power.
Second, button top protected cells are longer than unprotected flat top cells, which will put a huge amount of pressure in the springs and will eventually damage them.
Third, it is probable that the head doesn’t screw in completely tight.

So, better to use unprotected ~~flat~~ button top cells, and high-drain cells, in case you want to have the max output from it!

Flat tops won't work or at least are not recommended as the ROT66 gen 2 has a brass ring as positive contact for all three cells. The positive cell contacts ride on that ring while screwing the head on. Unprotected button top cells really are the only choice that makes sense here.

Well, then why am I using 3 unprotected flat top Sony VTC6 on my ROT66 GEN II and it works flawlessly?

Depends on the cell, on some the flat top actually protrudes a bit or the insulation can be squished down a bit, so that'd work, on others you'd be risking damaging the insulation around the positive contact, hence "at least not recommended"

In my cells they are flat and I guess they do not protrude at all.
Still, given your well stated point, I edited my suggestion above, to prevent users from damaging the light or the cells.
In any case I guess it is better to forget those Imalent cells in this light!

well i avoid this light then. I want to use the protected Imalent Cells. I dont care if the Light has 10.000 Lumen or 8800 Lumen on Turbo, but if the protected dont fit, its not the right Flashlight for me, sadly.

Thanks alot for the information

Ok I guess this is an issue. However, not a safety issue in this particular light I suppose, as the negative battery contact is connected to the battery tube at all times anyway. Still, they should've rounded off those edges. The batteries get pushed to one side while screwing on the head (since the button tops rub against the positive contact ring in the head) while also slowly getting pushed down because, well, you're screwing the head down.

120 grite sand paper will knock that edge right down to where the battery damage will not happen. Shouldnt be much sanding either. i know that is annoying to have to do, but at least its not visible 99% of the time.

Yeah I already rounded those off using a stone from my spyderco sharpmaker. I was afraid to use sandpaper because it probably would've left a lot of unwanted scratches. Either way, I doubt mine is the only one that has those sharp edges, so I'd expect pretty much every ROT66 out there to somewhat scrape on the battery wrappers. Not good design imo.

ArtieT59 · 2021-03-21T10:01:59.000Z

Good to hear you already knoked off the edges. I have seen many lights with internal carriers have this happen, not a design flaw IMO, its a manufacturing shortcoming. I agree the edges should be “hit” before the piece gets ano, but i can see why it is overlooked too. no excuses though. But, hasn’t stopped me from ordering one either. its a common occurence.

I like the idea of using a stone, easier to not scratch the whole inside you are correct. I’ll be doing that if it needs it when it comes in.

mattadores · 2021-04-23T14:11:58.000Z

Can anyone who purchased the Osram white flat version share some beam shots?

I’m very curious what this light looks like with white flats!
