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

Not that most people will want to configure it, because Narsil is pretty awesome by default. But if the idea is of interest, I might be able to put something together in time. It might even use less ROM space, without the need for an extensive config mode. I’m thinking the visual-config protocol will just be an offset, a length, and a sequence of bytes to dump straight into eeprom. The fancy parts can go into the configurator web page, like allowing the user to choose absolutely any set of modes in any order, setting voltage and thermal calibration values, etc.

I’ve been meaning to do it anyway, once life settles down a bit. Would just be nice to have hardware which supports it without having to hack together something messy.

Ill take one please. Thanks

interested in one.

OK, I don’t need them, but since when has need ever dictated anything to me? I don’t have a BLF designed light that I don’t like a great deal.

Please sign me up for 2.

Yes will updte list later.

TK I think it will be done :wink:

Well, I resisted for a few days — with such a nice light on offer, I don’t think anyone can realistically expect much more than that. :wink:

Two, please.

heheh will update list later!

Ok, first of all, yes indeed I wanted to run out to the shop and make my own, straight away! But the pain in my left arm and shoulder is just too intense to attempt it.

The squared shoulders give a nice grip to this small of a light, allowing a light (not heavy) grip without losing it. The bead blasted finish also helps the light feel easy to grip, instead of slick as it would be if it were straight off the lathe in a polished style. If the machining is run slightly faster the tiny microscopic grooves or lines from the cutting tool will also give grip, almost invisible but felt in the hand.

I would like to see it remain square shouldered, with the bead blasted and anodized clear.

If the logo or namesake could be cut clean through the inner tube before it is anodized that would be very neat, lessening the weight of the tube while giving a stylish report of where the light got it’s origins. I believe there is a new Manker light that has the name Manker cut clean through the pocket clip, it’s in this style that I’m referring.

And in this post, my 2 cents are cast.

So 20 or 22? It’s hard to guess by the sketch only.
It actually starts looking interesting as a compact host.

put me down for 1 please, thanks.

Can we make the clip ring flush with the tailcap instead of sticking up all around like that?

Talking about the clip, any chances of getting a deep carry clip?

Please put me on the list for 1.

Thanks

I’ll also take one please…

A deeper clip would indeed be pretty nice. Olight does those well.

At least, I like it a lot better than the style I use on my Cypreus. It’s still good, but having a bunch of tail sticking out the top can be inconvenient:

Hmm FW3A engraved in/printed on the clip, Fritz how about that?
If it is made into a deep carry also a little more space for this becomes available
TLF BLF FW3A and a hole for lanyard
Wouldn’t that be nice?

Would love to see this flashlight in bronze, brass, or copper… no coating or anything. Just let it age naturally.

In for one please.
Thanks!

Put me down for one please.
Thank you.
