FF1 vs. FF2 vs. FF3? What are the difs?

Can someone explain to me, or perhaps a chart exists, showing the differences between the 3 generations of firefly's? Thanks!

I don't think there's a one-stop page that compares all of them...

Off the top of my head, the FF1 was a LuxIII, twisty, one-off, black-colored anodizing that was made in small quantities. It used optics, which gave it a square beam, and had an angled keyring on its tail, which means it wouldn't stand on its tail. It was a twisty. Quite rare.

The FF2 was more or less the same, but with gunmetal anodizing, produced in larger numbers, the tail was re-designed so it could stand on its tail, and had an option of a resistor-based 2-stage output for its LuxIII. Still used optics, and was a twisty. The FF2 came with an option for an aluminum (vs. copper?) "middle piece" to reduce weight. I got one, and like it a lot, but there's a bit of flicker when trying to enter the "low" stage.

The FF3 is the current model that uses RCR123's ONLY, uses a reflector instead of optics (yay), and uses some fancy circuits to control the output (instead of the resistor). I was away from the forums during this time, so I missed out on this, and don't have much to say about it.

That's just from memory, but if you'd like, you can read up on it here:

In my opinion, Final Fantasy 7 was by far the greatest RPG ever!:naughty:

There is a review at the LED Museum for the Fire Fly II. Hope it helps.
