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

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.

Add my name to the list, please.

Wrote something about this, yes here it is:

Will update list later :wink:

Thanks for the input, I found this light. That is indeed a good idea, we will consider that. Cutting something into the inner tube would also be quite cool, but I’d be a little scared that it created sharp edges which could rub of the plastic protection on the 18650 batteries when exchanging the batteries.

There are 20.5mm of space for parts and the outer diameter is 22mm (if I recall correctly). However, standard drivers won’t fit since it needs a circular pad for the switch signal on the bottom. But I don’t see a problem in publishing the design of the driver when it’s done so you can modify the design and or make a new driver.

Ideally yes, but I was scared that there wouldn’t be enough material for the clip to be sturdy enough.

While I agree that a deep carry clip can be practical sometimes I think it looks a little awkward and also would yield in a very long clip since it needs to extend to the lug closest to the head. So I think it will be unlikely, but we’ll discuss it.
@ToyKeeper, since you have the Solarforce clip, would you mind measuring the inner diameter as well as the outer diameter and the thickness of the material?

Fine. Please put me on the list for one.

BTW, I’m starting to think “The Miller” should be “The MillerS” to account for his omnipresence.

ys will update list later :wink:
a reply or pm is eas on the phone, that doesnt take long and can be done walking from A to B for example, the real work is done by the likes of Fritz, DEL, Tom and so on :wink:

Interested in ONE. Thank you!

Please add me to the list. I’ll take 2

I would like to get one put me on the list.
Thanks

Please add two for me.

add me 1

Please include me in the list. I appreciate your teams effort to bringing us this nice light!

In retrospect it looks like that Manker clip isn’t a clean through cut, I still think that would be neat though, spelling out what you want while skeletonizing it at the same time. A bead blast before ano would remove any burrs.

You’re right, I didn’t notice that it isn’t cut through. Just after you mentioned it you notice the R would be floating…

Will update list later

It is a neat idea

Cut FW3A through the clip
The A would make a triangular hole for a lanyard too.

With the e-switch, the tailcap isn’t nearly as long as mechanical switch lights. I would rather have a standard clip than a deep carry clip with this design.
