Upon hearing the reason I’ve been away from BLF for a long time, fellow BLF’er @14500 asked me a simple question. The result of that exchange is the Firefly E07X pictured here, a small, extremely beautiful light that uses a 4000k version of the FFL351A LED 3700k that got quite an impressive review here on BLF. Sporting Ra 96 Ra 97, Duv -0.0064.
I have some numbers of my own and comparison beamshots coming, but suffice it to say, this is the first light in my small collection that has put a challenge to my Nichia 219b light. It is also the prettiest (check out the unique frost and clear optic to show off the RGB Aux LEDs, as opposed to D4V2’s all frost or all clear), and like my Skilhunt H04 headlamp, looks and feels like a piece of jewel. Like its designer has put a lot of thought into every part of its functions and design.
Being away, I have missed the boat on this LED, as it has gathered a lot of discussion already. But, better late than never. I saw on Firefly’s web site that all color versions are out, and only MAO finish is available. It seems like Firefly makes a limited number of these specialty-LED lights, so I pulled the trigger right away.
