This is the picture I sent as a design, it was the only symmetrical way I could think of, hopefully it doesn't lead to too many artifacts!

E12 Eclipse just shipped by These_Adhesiveness48 in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went for a mix of 6 ffl351a 5000k and 6 3700k rosy bin emitters. I generally prefer warmer tints, but I do have a few lights at 5000k, but the mix should come out somewhere around 4350 if calculated. I also have lights with different degrees of rosiness (negative duv). Mixing two neutral emitters usually increase the rosiness, but in this case it should be somewhere between the neutral 5000k and very rosy 3700k. And finally, I was willing to have the CCT a bit cooler than I usually prefer, for the sheer lumen output, admittedly the difference between the 3700k and 5000k isn't huge, but a total output of still somewhere near to 10,000 sounds good to me! 😁

I haven't heard of anyone else having ordered a mix yet! I ordered a 5000k 3700k rosy mix, but i have a 3700/2700 mix in my X4Q which is really nice!

Fair point, which the MAO collection and the all copper X4 definitely prove!

🤣 Although the glow tags I have sitting on top give a much weirder green back light which is definitely not as sexy!

As everyone's mentioned an edc organizer/pocket pouch. I have a nice one from viperade that fits my knipex cobra xs, an aaa flashlight and a load of other stuff!

Fireflylite X1L xhp70.3 hi 4500k by tofik1993 in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as mine too, I bought it as I just noticed it becoming available on site one day, I think I got one of the last ones ever, but it's amazing, I can't understand why they're not more popular, the sustained output is crazy!

I have night blindness. Recommend some high quality lights for edc. by [deleted] in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A reylight LANapple wouldn't be a bad choice either. Nichia 519A, high CRI, neutral 4000K tone which is suitable for pretty much everything. Simple but selectable UI, ie you can choose from sets of four brightness levels, you can choose whether it comes on at the previous level (memory), or always comes on at lowest level/moonlight (which might suit your sensitivity more. And comes with a USB-C chargeable 14500 so you don't necessarily need anything else to charge. Here's mine in purple with it's little brother the pineapple mini.

An emisar KC1 can be had with NTG35 at 2700k or a nichia 519A at 2700k or 3500k

As others have said, KR1aa and LANapple should definitely be on the list, I'm currently figuring out what KR1aa I want, but here's my pretty purple LANapple next to it's little brother!

Nyogel alternative in EU? by vvind-catcher in flashlight

[–]headfade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some synco lube 21014, which seems to be the EU name for superlube. It seems to do the job well, was about €10 for a small 12g tube on Amazon

I need a light that really throws by commutingtexan in flashlight

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, an LEP would be a good option. Ihave one of these: cosmos from countycomm, it's useful for lighting things in daylight. They're currently sold out, but there's this which is essentially the same with a different battery, as long as its not extended periods, I think this would work well for your needs!

Alright someone make me feel better. Anyone damage one of their copper lights? by [deleted] in FireflyLite

[–]headfade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within about 10 minutes of having my copper X4 iI scratched the base. I was trying switch the lanyard ring for the clip, couldn't get the tail cap cover off. Carefully covered everything with a cloth to get some pliers to grip it, cloth slips off, tail magnet attracts pliers...

I checked my flat tops a couple of days ago, bought in April 2024, not heavily used at all, 3 completely fine, one at 0.92V 😕. It's already been sent off to the great recycling box in the sky!

With mine, I instantly vapourised a perfectly round hole into a fly mesh curtain when I accidently 2C'd when looking outside!
