Worked perfect. Thank you
When locked out (4 clicks) you can still click and get a small amount of light, anyway to adjust to be brighter?
[♛ FreemeGB] Fireflies PL47 Gen II 4*XP-L/ Nichia/ SST20 Hi CRI 21700 Right Angle Flashlight - ENDED
The lockout moon level is determined by the current ramp floor. To change it, change the floor level.
Hahaha. I absolutely LOVED my 219b tint when I first got this light. Now it is putting out violet hues in the corona. I have only pushed it on turbo w short bursts with my 48Gs. Kinda bummed….
Damn man, with great power comes…… I feel for you, sir…
Just purchased an SST20.
Really like my XPL Hi but the 5000k is a little too cool for my liking so gonna try the SST. Hopefully I’ll like the tint.
ETA:
When did FF add the XPL Hi 4000k option? It was not one of the original choices was it?
I received mine. And although I am disappointed with the light and company (because I absolutely loved my rot66) I don’t regret my purchase. It’s still a nice light with the nice features of the glowing switch and aux lights.
My switch seems to be fine. And tail cap needs to be super tight to make the the light work.
Head band needs tape in order to fit and work. Haven’t measured output yet, but seems low.
I have the xpls. The biggest disappointment is the damn magnet. They claim super strong magnet. But instead should have wrote, super weak magnet.
Can somebody please tell me how I can change my UI to the ramping mode. I browsed through 10 pages and it doesn’t say in the instructions.
Hey blue8, yes we cover that already… lol…
To change step mode to ramping… turn on the light, then press 3 clicks.
I like Ike
Thanks NL. I was able to change it just now. But unfortunately the top of the ramp stops at high mode. To get to turbo, I still need to double click.
I wonder why fireflies change their UI. The rot66 light ramped up to turbo and I loved it. Didn’t require a double click.
Am I missing something?
Follow these instruction to change the ramp ceiling.
4-clicks while to get to ramp config, first “buzz” is setting the floor/min ramp/moonlight, 2 flashes followed by second “buzz” is setting ceiling/max ramp. Click once on the ceiling config to make the ramp reach all the way to the turbo output.
I think the ROT66 uses Narsil (or at least the early models did?), and I think Anduril is a HUGE improvement over it. I’m definitely going to flash it onto my Q8 whenever I finally get around to getting the gear to do so.
Custom ramp floor/ceiling, stepped ramp, easier to navigate UI, more cool “flashing” modes, guaranteed “ramp down” shortcut, etc. Its just a way better overall package. The temp config is super easy to calibrate fairly well if you have an IR thermometer too.
Thanks all! Is your magnets weak as well? I just wanna be sure I didn’t get a lemon magnet haha
The magnet on mine is so weak. It can hardly hold the tail cap alone. LOL
Very disappointing
Keep on thinking, it is very early days yet for Anduril in production torches. And there will be problems. Guaranteed. For those who expect to buy something that just works, rather than the “modders” who enjoy the process of tinkering with them, following and flashing the latest releases graciously handed down, and regularly replacing their LEDs with the latest must-have version (when the old ones went a bit blue due to extreme over-current from the unsophisticated driver and a decent cell). If they can even get the bezel off.
Bug lists, revision lists, even just “read the code you moron, I can’t be bothered to document anything, that would just slow me down, it’s all there on GitHub” attitudes don’t help.
Even if they still do GitHub, if they ever did, since Microsoft bought them out. Perhaps continue to plough their own singular furrow with their own platform.
Edit: that could disappear in a puff of smoke if they chose to, or got hacked, the server died and couldn’t be re-built from a backup, or didn’t pay their bills, or the “bus factor” happened. Much like this entire forum.
Still shrieking out that they know best, understand and are on top of every technicality, don’t need any help, constructive criticism usually rebuffed.
Not saying that is still going on here, but it has done, previously.
Pitching Tom E against more vocal TK is not nice IMHO. AKA Narsil vs. the re-write/copy FSM ideas into Anduril. They should both be respected. But really, the UIs are becoming far too complex for any mere mortal to grasp, understand, remember, or want.
Or fit into a sensible sized MCU, with a sensible number of pins.
Get older, maybe even beginning dementia, and you really don’t need most of this stuff, nor the way that it seems to be going. Actually no-one needs any of this, it’s just a first-world indulgence, commercially catered to by a few individuals, some of whom are still making interesting stuff (no, not generic FET+n drivers).
The temperature control, I think, is the trickiest thing for these monster torches, and, frankly, I don’t think Anduril has quite got there yet. Probably the hardware being the limitation (put a temp. sensor on the MCPCB please.)
Edit: instead of extra flashy LEDs. At least a PTC could be useful.
Meanwhile Fireflies is putting these experimental things onto the market, with Toykeeper Anduril firmware and Lexel driver and other smaller undocumented electronic designs. Plus Fireflies “great” mechanical design skills and project management, from interest, to order, to manufacture, to despatch, to delivery. Quality control seemingly not a strong point yet. Maybe they will learn. Which is interesting to observe from a distance.
Disclosure: I haven’t even ordered one (with a code ha ha). I’m waiting for it all to settle down.
My magnet is strong enough to hold the flashlight on place. Sadly the light can’t be turned off, so it doesn’t matter …
Magnet is strong enough to hold the light here, fit and finish is good on my black SST-20. No funky UI behavior, everything’s fine for me 
Oh, the 18650 insert doesn’t work with my flat head AW, but I don’t need it so it’s ok. The headstrap is bad though.
I’m surprised by the “negativity” around these lights, maybe I’m lucky but there is nothing I have to complain about, they work as advertised, 4 SST-20 with great tint and reasonable power, I’m happy with it….and I’m usually the one who nitpicks about everything. YMMV…or I’m getting old, I guess !
Yes both of my pl47 magnets are weak. Will not stick.
I agree no magnet strength. I have found that if you use install the pocket clip before you use the headband it works and fits way batter unless you are jogging or something like that.
I better proof read before I post, I hate when I am too hasty with a post and misspell simple words.
Both my magnets are strong, not like the whimpy skilhunt h02/03 magnets. A light wind would send em crashing, never liked them. PL47 magnet is on par with my armytec wizard pro.
