Here is a picture of both the Firefly (a t bin LUXIII) and my ARC4 second.
I will tell you that for the size the Frefly is VERY VERY bright. The ARC4 has a good white bright beam too.

Is the firefly a custom made light? I've always heard about it but never did find out where I could buy it.

It never overheats if you keep it in your hand and run it for short periods of time. It does get a bit warm though.
I bought it from somebody on the BST forum. There might even be one there now.

Billson, the Fireflies were made by CPF'er DSpeck based on a design by tvodrd. There were around 200 Fireflies made so it was a limited run light but not really custom. They show up on BST regularly and if you ask for one there, you can probably find one without too much waiting.

Firefly on left and ARC4 on right
The Firefly has a badboy running 750ma into the Lux III.
This is pretty close to the wall. both cronas were about the same size. Sorry about the shine.
It is sorta hard to shoot pictures and hold lights at the same time.

Also notice that the FireFly has a smaller optic than the 4+.

Nothing like kicking butt with the good Luxeon III bin codes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Nice job Yaesumofo. Yup, I used to think the ARC-LS's I had, (notice I said HAD), in the past were powerful and TINY. Get a FF done up properly and it's the BEST light anywhere especially considering it's super tiny size! I have one that my friend Chop did up with a BB700, Q3J and turned down Fraen LP. Brilliant white hotspot, great throw and decent sidespill. Close to an hour runtime too. My favorite light of all time and one that's always with me. Everytime I use it, it amazes me!

I have a Firebug - er - Firefly right here if you're interested.
I don't yet have an Arc4, so I can't perform that comparison.
