Type	E07N
Rating	★★★★★ Rated 4/5 based on 1223 user votes.
Launch	2019
Form	flashlight

This Fireflies flashlight offers portability, versatility, and reliability in providing illumination.

Body

Weight	125 g
Length	112 mm
Body diameter	26 mm
Head diameter	37.5 mm
Material	aluminium alloy with HAIII hard-anodized finish
Colors	black gold gray silver

This 125 g flashlight would be considered slightly heavier than average for a handheld flashlight, but it is still within a reasonable weight range. This weight range is often found in smaller and more compact flashlights designed for everyday use or portability. The ideal length of a flashlight depends on personal preference, intended use, and the specific features and functionality you're looking for.

Aluminium is a lightweight material, which is beneficial for E07 Nichia flashlight. Hard-Anodized Type III (HAIII) is a specific anodizing process that creates a thicker and harder oxide layer compared to regular anodizing. It involves subjecting the aluminum to a higher voltage and a sulfuric acid bath, resulting in a dense and durable coating. This flashlight offers a wide array of color options, allowing you to choose from a diverse range of hues to suit your personal style and preferences.

System

Emitter	7 x Nichia 219B LEDs
Color temperature	4000 K
Reflector	TIR
Lens	TIR
Switch	electronic side

Nichia Corporation is a highly regarded Japanese LED manufacturer known for its high-quality LED products and advancements in LED technology. Color temperature is a characteristic of light. It is measured in units called Kelvin (K) and is used to quantify the color appearance of light sources, particularly white light. The TIR lens of E07 Nichia consists of a single-piece lens made of a transparent material, typically acrylic or polycarbonate. Its shape and internal geometry are designed to achieve specific light distribution patterns, such as flood or spot beams, by manipulating the behavior of light rays. The E07 Nichia utilizes electronic switch. Electronic switches on flashlights provide a range of advantages and additional features compared to mechanical switches.

Performance

Flux	3500 lm
Intensity	7106 cd
Throw	169 m
CD/LM factor	2.03
CRI	98

With 3500 lm, the E07 Nichia flashlight will provide an exceptionally bright and powerful beam of light. It can illuminate large areas, outdoor spaces, or even act as a temporary spotlight in certain situations. With 7106 cd, the E07 Nichia flashlight provides a noticeably brighter and more intense beam of light. It can illuminate objects or areas with greater clarity and visibility, even at longer distances.

The throw distance refers to the maximum distance at which the flashlight can effectively illuminate an object or target. The stated throw distance typically indicates the point at which the brightness falls below a specified threshold, such as 0.25 lux. The candela per lumen (cd/lm) ratio can be used to determine if a flashlight has a spot or flood type beam. Well-focused spot beams can be over 100 cd/lm, tactical flashlights are typically between 20-100 cd/lm, and work lights are less than 10 cd/lm.

A flashlight with a higher CRI can provide better color accuracy when examining objects or distinguishing between different colors in low-light or nighttime situations. This can be beneficial in certain tasks or activities where color discrimination is important, such as identifying wires or reading color-coded information. Flashlights with a CRI of 98 or higher are often considered top-of-the-line options and are designed with advanced LED technology or specialized light sources to achieve such exceptional color rendering.

Software

Firmware	Anduril
Mode memory	yes
Ramping mode	yes
Strobe	yes
SOS/Beacon	yes

Anduril allows users to customize various parameters, such as mode spacing, mode order, and shortcuts, to tailor the flashlight's behavior to their specific needs and preferences. The E07 Nichia has mode memory. Mode memory means that the flashlight will remember the mode you were using when the light was last turned off, and when you turn it on again. The E07 Nichia flashlight with ramping mode has a user interface that enables you to control the brightness level by pressing and holding a button.

The E07 Nichia is tactical strobe ready. The strobe light is disorienting to the person it is aimed at which makes it difficult for them to concentrate. It has the SOS beacon function for an emergency situation. The SOS flashes Morse code so you can signal for help when needed. The SOS signal is recognized as an international distress call and is used to indicate an urgent need for assistance.

Features

Battery	1 x 21700 Li-Ion battery
Battery indicator	yes
Charger port	no
LVP	yes
Thermal regulation	yes
Protection	IPx6
AUX LEDs	yes
Magnetic	no

The Fireflies E07 Nichia flashlight is powered by 1 x 21700 Li-Ion battery. The battery indicator lets you know when the battery is low, charging, or fully charged. The E07 Nichia doesn't have charger port. A charger port is a designated connection point or interface where you can plug in a charger to recharge the flashlight's battery. This flashlight has a built-in low voltage protection (LVP) to prevent damage to the cell from over-discharge, so protected cells are not necessary.

The E07 Nichia has thermal protection feature. The thermal protection mechanisms are designed to monitor and regulate the temperature of the flashlight during operation. This feature helps prevent overheating, which can be detrimental to the flashlight's performance, battery, and overall safety. The IPx6 rating indicates that the E07 Nichia flashlight has a protection against water jets. Having separate auxiliary LEDs in a flashlight eliminates the need for additional lighting devices or filters.

Accessories

Package contents	clip lanyard spare o-ring

When the flashlight is clipped to a suitable location, it can be angled or positioned to provide hands-free illumination. The lanyard of E07 Nichia helps protect the flashlight from accidental damage by preventing it from falling or hitting the ground. Regularly replacing worn or damaged O-rings helps maintain the overall durability and performance of the flashlight.

The performance of the Fireflies E07 Nichia flashlight is measured according to the ANSI / NEMA FL1 Standard 30 seconds after switching the light on. The ANSI/NEMA FL1 2009 Standard is a set of flashlight performance guidelines.
