Important: Keep the battery topped up.
Expected lifespan of the Lithium-ion cell is 300 or more full
recharges.. It is better to recharge more often, rather than to use all of the battery’s charge before recharging.
The self-discharge of the Lithium-Ion battery when not in use is 1%-2% per month. That means, even though
it has not been used, the charge in the battery will diminish over time. With limited use of the
Fire~Fly 3
,
expect to recharge the cell about once per month. Heavier usage may require charging once or twice weekly
for best results.
NEVER
use a battery or combination of batteries with a voltage higher than approximately 5.5V with the
stock FLuPIC module.
To use higher voltages, a different electronics module is required. These can be
purchased separately on special order. Please contact us for further information.
Replacement Parts:
If any parts ever need to be replaced, the
Fire~Fly 3
is modular, so that the emitter and electronics can be
easily removed and replaced. Due to the design of the
Fire~Fly 3
,
the light is easily user-serviceable (a rare
choice in today’s manufacturing world!). Any parts that are damaged or broken are available as
replacements. Heatsinks are available separately if you want to build your own custom module (with your
choice of emitter and driver boards). We can also build modules with your choice of board and emitter.
