I pre-ordered four of them. Two arrived so far. Stunning lights, the size was a surprise, way smaller than I expected compared to the e07x pro. The finishes look great. Got an X1S as well and the X1L on pre-order. Excellent performance for the size, the 16 minutes you got with the XPL-hi version on maxramp before stepdown is very impressive. Mine have the fireflies FF351a 4000k high cri emitters. Step down was between 8-10 minutes but was still holding at least 1000 lumens at the ten minute mark. Looking forward to the rest, and I have some xpl-hi in 5000k I will swap into one of them.
@@PiotrekW91 I set to 70C for testing but I usually set to 60C for real world use. It takes 5 minutes and 30 second from room temperature for the head to hit 60C on maxramp/high with the FF351a emitters. At this same point the handle was 48C so still holdable. On 70C the light does not step down until over 8-10 minutes with the FF351a. It took 8 minutes and 42 seconds to hit 70C on the head, and it read 57C on the handle at that point. Michal's results of nearly double this time just show the benefit of lower cri efficient emitters like XPL HI. The results I get with the high cri emitters is still impressive considering how tiny this flashlight is - and almost on par with his older e07x pro (xpl hi 5000k) runtime graph despite being smaller and having less efficient emitters. I'm not sure how they achieved this from an engineering standpoint. I'm planning on swapping some xpl hi 5000k's into one of these to have one with max efficiency and brightness. i have the LED's here, just need to order a hot plate.
Indeed, machining is next level. I wish they offered version with 5700K Nichia 519A. The one you saw on the video (Noctigon K9.3) are actually 4200K, as they are dedomed ;)
I bought the dark white with the 3700k fireflies emitters. I also ordered a magnetic black tail cap. I like the added length. Fits better in my hand. Really nice emitters though.
Gotta say I hate the tint on the XPL Hi model they sent you. They offer this light now with FFL351 rosy tints, and that's probably what I'd order. Im super impressed by the Noctigon 9.3 in your test.
I just ordered the x cannon with 25 degree optic last night only from watching Cheule’s flashlight utube channel hope I’m not disappointed why do you say you didn’t like the cool white one they sent u what’s ur favorite one
Does the XPL-HI 4000k look that yellow in real life? I find that camera sensors pick up more green that what we see in person with low cri emitters, I usually have to dial in nearly +3 magenta tint shift in white balance to get low cri emitters to appear the way they look in real life. But if that's how it really looks, I may have to reconsider one of my emitter swap plans
Camera odes exaggerate a bit, but I don't mess up with settings between shots. It is greenish to my eyes at least, but it truly is dependent on LED bin and optics. This E07X is a couple year old flashlight
It's quite sad how the 519A looks somewhat dim, even compared to the SST20, despite the high lumen output. Beautiful light, but dim compared to the competition IMHO.
You can find new E07X Canon here: www.firefly-outdoor.com/products/firefly-e07x-pro
Best looking flashlight in the world! I have a ton of these FF lights. Love the brand and appreciate how hard they try to push the envelope.
Truly amazing designs

What temp. limit have you set? Michał always sets it high, I'm curious about the result at 60°C :)

A perfect balance of art and tech, I have no need for another torch but this is very tempting, the 5700k Nicha looked lovely.

I have to honestly say, I very much enjoyed that video. Cheers.
Thank you! Done in a hurry, but glad the value is here ;)

It looks like another great light from firefly, all four new lights are very promising. Additionally these blue and black anodizations are 🔥.
Big plus for great build quality and updated looks 💪

Great review as always Michael!!
Thank you! Take care Marc 👍
Great review! I want one of these so bad now
Thank you for the comment, highly appreciated 👍 E07X Canon is definitely a great upgrade
That 6500k xpl-hi is not the prettiest color. Still a great review, thank you I need one of these
Yeah, I agree but I expected far worse... Glad I could help 👍
Hope they send you the 519a version and even their new FFL351A. Very promising update. I want to see one with the Osrams as well
Unfortunate that they sent you the wrong spec - but still it looks like a great performing and handsome unit!
which is weird because CustomerService emailed everyone about their specs to confirm.

What version would you recommend?
Already got my X1S. Canon and Nov-Mu 2 still not shipped yet. Hope you will review the X1S/NovMu2/X1L all of them!
Enjoy! I hope I get it too
Can you test the turbo with a higher CDR battery like the Samsung 40T or the Molicel P42A/P45B?
I used P42A before, no difference noticed

awww yea! glad you got one. PHaros X1S?
I've got an x1s on my channel, just some beamshots though
Thanks for sharing with us 👍
Glad I could help. I hope to get that one too sometime 👍
next time put the link to these lights in the comment section brother i need to know where this light is being sold at
You have screens from website in the video, watch closely. It's firefly-outdoor.com
lol yeah i seen it thanks brother @@FlashlightEnthusiast
how muxh does this light cost

Same to Astrolux? By stile 100%😊
Manker MK38 but yeah, they manufacture for Astrolux as well 😁
