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

i hook up with the guys who suggested a hi-cri version with nichia triple! preferable in a titanium host :)

add me plz :smiley:

Well the choice of LEDs is simple
Lots of lumens with a decent tint.
Just imagine we say 2500 lumens, Djozz tests show at 9A 3K, when one wants to giggle or impress or just needs a full blast for not so long. It is just there in your pocket when you want. For EDC use you ramp to the level you need and have nice runtimes.
In a very small elegant light
Just plain awesome!

Exactly .

Made a quad with my Blf X5 , quad xp-g3 s4 3a . Even with the small 14500 cell draws 11,5 amps and puts out at least 2.2k lumens , haven’t measured …

A suggestion for a German engraving:
TLF & BLF SONDEREDITION

Please add me to the list!

I will take one please.

Rob

Put me for one please

Gimme.

Yep will update list later
After reading of you “Awesome Archive of BLF specials” in the Q8 topic I did kind of expect your question TK :wink:

If this is to have a reflashable Narsil driver, and if there is no indicator LED, do you think there’s any chance of connecting a spare ADC-capable pin to LED- ? This would allow it to sense light levels through the LEDs when they’re off. Would be nice to have this for future expansion, like screen-based configuration.

I’m in for one.

right after clicking post here I copy paste it in the we (DEL, Tom Fritz Cawi and me) have about the driver :slight_smile:

Pin #7, where there used to be the voltage divider for the ADC, is free. There’ll be at least a solder-pad so something can be connected to this pin.

I was thinking more along the lines of having a trace built into the driver itself, and maybe some new firmware. I don’t know how long it’ll be before the project is ready to ship, but perhaps I could get this idea ready by then?

Basically, instead of a config mode, configure the light on a web page and apply the settings by pointing the light at the screen. Could also potentially be used for other things, but the main use is making configuration easier and more detailed.

Sounds awesome and if I am not mistaken Fritz is about to move the MCU on the driver design so hardware wise it should be feasible.
(But don’t forget what DEL, Tom and Fritz are talking about is like a strange language to me so I could be wrong :wink: )

The FW3A will have a AT85 MCU that I know.
And it is supposed to have space for a clip :wink:

(Let the nailbiting begin for what the big guns are to say about this)

Huh, both FET and 8x7135, impressive fit for 17mm only driver.

the driver is bigger :wink:

This seems too nice to pass. I would like to buy one (1) of these when available.
