Cu & Ti material.

@djozz

Premium: * a high value or a value in excess of that normally or usually expected * of exceptional quality or amount bring it on :sunglasses:

Sorry, I wouldn’t buy a “premium” flashlight from a company that hasn’t even fixed and shipped issue-free “non-premium” flashlights.

@freeme

1. FF has already applied more thermal paste for their E07 base on customers’ feedback.

2. You mean they supplied fake 40T batteries to their buyers? Sorry, i am not aware about it. I am sure buyers will get refund for them.

3. Regarding the broken TIR “leg”, I was told that they were intentionally removed.

4. Battery tube will be extended to about 1mm to support/ prevent damaging longer 21700. Anything longer than 1mm, it might affect the operation of 18650 setup.

Jacky did send lights to maukka and TK previously. Not sure why he didn’t do it this time. I really wish i could spend more time work on E07 with FF in Dec. Nevertheless, FF is working hard assisting buyers who are facing issue(s) with their light.

That’s an excessive amount of heat paste and just putting tons of heat paste in there does not solve the issue: Bevel/Clean-Up the edges of the MCPCB so that it can sit flush and put a little more heat paste in there as you originally had. It’s not that hard.

• Yes, Fireflies apparently might have sent out fake 40T batteries to customers. See Fireflies E07 preview - #983 by klrman and the next couple of posts. No statement from Fireflies yet.
• And of course they clipped of the leg intentionally. Because they made a mistake with the holes in the flashlight’s body. So they screwed the screw for the MCPCB in the wrong hole. In the hole the leg would have gone if it would have been assembled correctly. So they had to break that leg to make it somehow fit.
• Fireflies also managed to send out the wrong LEDs or the wrong tint multiple times. There are reports here and in the german TLF about that.
• Also multiple cases broken auxillary LEDs.
• A light in the german TLF arrived with a blob of solder on a main LED.
• Oh and nobody mentioned the LEDs self-destructing if you put in high-ampere batteries? I already described Fireflies “fantastic” reaction to this here: E07 or D4S? - #20 by kanton They just said “yeah, btw that happens”.
• Another issue that happened in the german TLF is that Fireflies just completely forgot to install the front o-ring, resulting in the lens loosely moving around in the head.
• Problems with the width and length of the battery tube.

The list goes on and on and with the exception of the battery tube I haven’t read or heard a single statement from Fireflies or an apology.
I am gonna be honest: I bought the light because I am a sucker for dragster lights. It’s still on its way to me. But so far Fireflies has left quite a negative impression and I have never had such a bad feeling after purchasing a light.

This is the third model by FireFlies. They should be experienced enough to properly design, build a light by now. Or how not to confuse the lights they send out.
