Hullo! I just wanted to make aware of the latest updates on one of the newest Fireflylite flashlights, the X1L Elite (I am in no way affiliated with them and read the most info on Reddit, but it would be nice to kickoff a discussion on it here too).
Yesterdays update includes these 3 emitter choices:
- CREE XHP50.3 HI 5000K CRI90 2600lumens 120 000cd
- CREE XHP70.3 HI 6500K CRI70 3500lumens 84 000cd
- CREE XHP70.3 HI 4000K CRI90 2600lumen 62 000cd
It’s very strange that the 70.3 HI 4000K would output the same lumes as the 50.3: I asked them and Ivy (the sales representative of Fireflylite) says it’s because it’s the low bin K2, if someone were interested.
There is as of now just one review by ZeroAir but it is expected that at least two other reviews will come out soon.
I hope some of you find this interesting, I personally find the 4 new models that are slowly coming out of preorder beautiful and with solid specs.
What are your thoughts? Did you preorder the X1L or other new gen FFL flashlights?
Nice “black and white” collection you have there! Cool to see the two different and very characteristic styles from Hank and FF side by side.
I have a Nov-Mu V2 in fossil grey on the way and the color looks awesome in pictures, with the marbled texture up close. For the X1L I’m debating, but I think I’ll go with matte black for the contrast with the shiny gloss of the stainless steel parts - unfortunately no clip in glossy black, but I will take it out eventually.
I’m glad you report no issues with your lights!
