FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

OK OK
There are some real challenging things in the light, adding production steps and complexity on things like engraving inner tube does not seem smart.
Got a bit carried away :wink:

If it means more work and time and possible miscommunication to get this light laser-ized, I say “less is more.” More lights in my hot little hand! No need for engraving in my point of view.

I’m interested! Please put me on the list ! :person_facepalming:
Q8, BLF GT, and now the FW3A. I hope it will be few month between the release date of these lights because my girlfriend gonna kill me :smiley:

And now we at the hard part of German language…
Several meanings for the same word.

Cooperation meant like in made by TLF in cooperation with BLF?
And designed by, do you mean the whole light, or just the design itself?

I’d agree. Keep it simple!

Interested
1 for me

Count me in for one!

A beautiful woman should not wear too much jewelry (she is not a christmas tree).
A beautiful car should have next to zero stickers on the boot (no DOHC-32V, gran turismo, limited edition)
This is a (very) beautiful light: keep it as clean as possible. Max.= TLF/BLF-special

Interested, please put me down for one.

+1

I would like this light as simple as this.
Without any additional logo or text.

The idea was a logo or text on the inner tube, not visible on the outside!

Still think that would be a nice touch (like an inside joke)

List updated
WOW 410 total.

A good thing sells itself, a bad one advertises itself. You have been there :wink:

Oh yeah, agree, hate selling and judging by the three running specials they are good!

I will take one.
Thank you.

I really like the picture with the light in the hand, in fact it is the picture that shows best how it is going to look like. I like the smooth finish too!

(for me a rough machine finish sounds not overly attractive, I like well finished flashlights with a good ano-layer. the best finish I have seen sofar is my Shadow TC300, in matt dark-brown ano.)

Oh my. I just saw picture with white anodized finish. If it looks like that, I definitely would like to be added to the list for one.

For some reason, I was thinking it would have a polished aluminum look.

Off of a lathe, you can get a variety of surface finishes. If your cutter is sharp and is fed into the material at the right rate, you can achieve a very nice and lightly textured look and feel. If you want something different, you can hit it with different grits of sandpaper to achieve a matte, satin or even mirror-polished look. I suppose the final surface will depend on the agreed-upon treatment after it is machined to shape.

I kinda like the shinier look as opposed to the satin look in the last picture but that’s just me.

Can’t resist this one. Add me to the list please.

That's just the version I made for myself, which is bead blasted. The production version will be blank or have clear anodising.
