X4 Stellar

Introducing the new X4 Stellar. 

We optimized the body design to be compact, durable, tactile. We paired this with the unparalleled Lume X1 boost driver electronics. Swappable optics, removable tail magnets, and attachable accessories allow you to customize the X4 exactly how you want it. This is our take on the high-performance EDC flashlight.

User Interface: (Anduril V2)

This flashlight uses the open-sourced Anduril user interface. Anduril 2 is an open-sourced software and distributed under the terms of GPLv3. The source can be accessed here. 

By default, this flashlight begins in Simple UI with 5 brightness levels. Enter the hidden Advanced UI to access additional features and more configuration options.

Details can be found in Anduril User Guide. 

Charging

Stellar X4 features an intelligent 10W battery charger. For optimal charging, use a USB-C port that can source 5V 3A. Upon the start of charging, the side-switch illuminates red. When charging is complete, the red indicator turns off. A flashing red indicator indicates a charge fault (e.g. battery not inserted). 

For battery safety, cells below 3V are pre-charged at 100mA before the full 10W charge starts, transitioning to constant voltage, and ending with trickle-charging. The charger includes a 10-hour safety timer to prevent extended charging.

While not recommended, the flashlight may be used while charging, but if operated at higher power levels than the charging rate, the battery will not be charged. 

To enable 'OTG' power-bank mode, enter Momentary Mode (refer to the Anduril User Guide linked above). Note that not all phones or devices may charge using a USB-C to C cable. This may be mitigated by using some USB-C charging-only cables, or adapters that convert USB-C to USB-A, and then from A to mini / micro / or C. The maximum supported output is 5V at 1.2A. The flashlight may be operated at low to moderate levels in Momentary Mode when sourcing power, but at the expense of runtime. 

Note - If a charge fault (flashing red LED on the side switch) occurs towards the end of charge, please remove the flashlight from the charger and contact Fireflies. 

Battery Level Indicator

Anduril2 UI uses the front RGB auxiliary LEDs to indicate the current battery level upon turn-off. The colors correspond as follows:

This post-off display can be turned off or configured in Anduril. 

Operation Notes

• Stellar X4 is a high-performance flashlight capable of up to 40W and generates a lot of heat. Please understand that this is not a toy and should be handled with safety.
• The default thermal regulated limit is set at 50C. This can be configured by the user to be higher or lower via the Anduril user interface.
• To prevent accidental activation of the flashlight, it is recommended to lock-out the flashlight (4 clicks from off to lock or unlock) before storage, or unscrew the body slightly as a mechanical lock-out. 
• Stellar X4 has low-voltage protection which cuts off power at 2.8V. It is recommended to begin recharging the cell before this happens to increase battery longevity. 
• For advanced users, the Lume X1 driver features UPDI flashing pads for advanced users to perform their own firmware updates or to flash custom firmware binaries.
