Fireflies E07 nad PL09MU Antique-Color Brass versions are ALIVE

@Gunga

Is there a way to make the switch and aux leds to be much dimmer? Both mine are blazing bright, even on low. Unless I need to but an all new mule headlamp with red switch and aux leds. Mine are purple aux and white switch. Far too bright.

The Fireflies PL09MU switch backlit is the same as in Fireflies E07
So there are 4 aux leds on the sides, and you only get to control 2 of them, the other 2 aux leds are always on max brightness (the same as in E07).

PS. Got mail from jack, about the important stuff.

"We will consider using 519A in near future.

Buck driver might be available at the end of this year, but not so sure , it all depends on the driver-components supply.

Best Regards!

Jack"

YAAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!

I’ve been on him too to get some 519A’s too. Glad others have been peppering him about it too.

What are the qualities about the 519A that appeal to you? From what I’ve read, it looks to be notably more efficient than the 219B. According to Jon Slider: “519a is 55% brighter than 219b, both at same 4A power level, Plus the 519a can handle 6.5A … pushing it to double the output than 219b.”

Pretty much the same. The greater output and increased sustained output that happens to be Rosy and High CRI. Don’t have any yet, but I’m pretty sold on them. I’m not sold on them being better than 219B SW45k, but they are about as close as any other LED’s have come from what I’m seeing/reading.

How hard is it to open the PL47mu to dim the switch LED or change the boot?

[Auxilshunter]

I specified green and purple auxiliaries and he interchanged them evenly. They look great. Very bright as someone else mentioned, but I’ll take too bright over too dim.

As promised

Are you sure about that? I’ve never noticed any difference, no matter how many times I do the 7 clicks. Aux LEDs yes, switch LEDs no.

look from the side inside the button.
the leds are 45 degree offset

Unfortunately my E07 Brass has been lost in the mail.

Sad.

[Lojik]

I see it has come up and I wanted to share what the bare button on the PL09mu looks like and how many AUX LED’s it has. It is 4 and they work just like all the others on FF lights. All four are on when the AUX’s are on. If you put the AUX on intermittent, you can see that 2 AUX will semi-blink on the top and bottom. That’s an easy way to confirm it on your own.

[Verodin]

Ah you’ve been able to remove the button/bezel. It’s pressed in, not screwed?

On mine it’s either all on or all off. I see light coming from 4 distinct directions. Can’t see them directly though.

[Lojik]

I didn’t remove it, it’s actually a spare I thought I needed. But I did not.

[Lojik]

But to answer your question Verodin, it does appear to be press-fit.

[Verodin]

Ah clear photo, thank you! The thought crossed my mind to mod the LEDs, but so far there’s been no real need. But you never know, so this info is noted in the back of my head

[Lojik]

Your welcome. Obviously there’s a boot too, like the clear white one on the E07 2021. But I just wanted to show you the fitted parts for reference.
