I hope it's OK with everyone, I'm going to be changing the purpose of this thread to be a general Frelux thread. benjamin seems to be posting most of his updates to his Facebook group and Instagram, I'll try to share them all here.

Updates will be posted in the comments.



------------(Original Thread Titile: Frelux Firefly Series) -----------

Benjamin over at Frelux has been working on some ideas for a Firefly series of his lights that will be higher end torches with inlays and/or other custom finishes or features.

Here's a test he did with brass inlay and a custom finish that will be called Vestige (naming credit goes to yours truly). You can see the Firefly Shield on the top of the light that will be on all Firefly series lights.

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

I like the "reload" & " make ready" on the tail lol.
Hopefully everyone will start buying these so I can get one of the black ones for myself!

The inlays look great, and the worn finish really completes the look. Very nice.

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

Love the Firefly shield, not sure about the inlays. Enjoying my light, though, and looking forward to my next purchase. Keep up the good work!

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

What are the output levels in lumens? Is there a sub lumen level?

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

I think I remember talk of an improved driver coming out at some point, but the website doesn't show any driver info for the current lights. Anybody know the scoop?

Feedback is great! What don't you like about the inlays?

With the current design only the middle section can be bare metal. Benjamin hasn't made any titanium yet but some cool brass and bronze units

The new drivers will be Low-Medium-High with better mode spacing than the original drivers and slightly higher output. Production is complete for those driver so it's only a couple weeks out, Benjamin plans on getting them measured in a proper sphere so he can publish some reliable numbers.

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

Looks nice :thumbsup:
Where can I order one? Does he have a Website?....Google search didn't show any results... :shrug:

Not sure about CPF rules with links, just search for "Frelux" and it's the first result for me.

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

There will be a big restocking once the new drivers are available, probably 2 weeks or so

Re: Frelux Firefly Series

Benjamin announced a new light today, the FML:

Here's something else I've been working on...
I was supposed to be designing less complicated stuff but the more simple it looks the more complicated it seems to get #FML ... Here's the new product ive been working on, the Frelux Magnetic Light. What did you think it meant ?

🤣
I am pretty happy with it, its quirky, it's small, and runs off a single AAA. It seems to fit those situations where something comes up and you think FML I'm gonna need both my hands and a light

😉.

It's a 1 x AAA reverse clicky light with a strong magnet base and flexible articulating neck. For this application Benjamin stuck with the original driver and UI, Medium - Low - High

Speaking of which, new drivers for the Synergy1 have arrived! Low - Medium - High with a lower Low and a higher High. Estimated about 30-40% increase in the High mode level output, a couple units are en-route to a third party legit integrating sphere for some real numbers

Been so anxious to get one of these if the UI could include a moonlight and say an XP-L neutral.

That FML is definitely something I could see a machinist coming up with. Looks very practical.
