I have to say, I love the different battery tubes and tritium slots so very well done Fireflies! This model is a good size! Looking forward to it launching.
This is very interesting flashlight. I thought it will use reflector, but it look like Fireflies has release new video of it:
Do anyone know what optics is used? It look like some special TIR optics instead of reflector. Do you know how it compare to reflector? It look like there is aux RGB led under the optics which is probably the reason why alumium reflector is not used.
Are you referring to Acebeam E10, which uses the same optic as the Manker MC13? I don’t see an E01 thrower. Specs on the FF mini thrower is superior to that of the E10 and the light looks much smaller. I’ll see how it compares when I get it.
Has there been more info on price/availability? Seems there has been no updates.
Based on the info in the op.
1. This needs a deep carry pocket clip option
2. The switch needs to be suitably designed (recessed) to avoid accidental activation when in your pocket
Oh yea I forgot about that light. This optic is going to be waaaayyyy better than the E01 optic. The E01 optic creates a lot of artifacts. The beam on this new light looks much cleaner and more focused.
Interesting... I assume you are judging the beam from the posted vid? It does look pretty good compared to my E01. I flashed the E01 with Anduril2
So between an improved optic and better throwy LED, should do wayy better than an E01 - I measured 32 kcd on the stock E01 on a 30T cell, which is probably close to blowing/blueing a SST-40.
I make fast comparison with T1R (left) and GT nano (right)
Led: same CULNM1TG
Lumens: 1000 vs 450
Candelas: 125000 vs 23400
Thorow: 700m vs 300m
Battery: 22430/18350 vs 10180
UI: Anduril 2 vs Narsil
Size: 79 x 37 x 26.5mm vs 24 x 52.5mm (head size much bigger)
Dirver: 6A buck vs 2.5A TA FET
Charging: 2A USBC vs (no detail but can charge)
Weight: 78g vs 17g
The gt nano is much smaller but T1R should last much longer and brighter.
Wouldn’t a 16340 cell offer completely rubbiush runtimes though. So much so that it would make a high output or long distance light pointless with such a power plant.
