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

Hey toykeeper, do you think that an emitter swap could possibly mess up with the screen configuration, due to differences between emitters?

Only if the new emitter is infrared or ultraviolet or some other frequency the screen doesn’t produce.

List updated
TLF and BLF nearing 500, wowsers

i am in for two

Would the abbreviated logo “T & B LF!” be too provocative? :smiley:

In for one please

Thanks

Maybe BLTF? Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Flashlight.

If anyone is interested to see how the finish might look, banggood is currently selling a clear version of the BLF A6.
And the finish on the FW3A will go in the same direction, just the machining of the threads will hopefully be better :smiley:

Very nice, interested in 2 :slight_smile:

It will be smaller and brighter than the A6 though, yeah?

Yes cabfrank, and a little more elegant and less boring too (IMHO so that is mere personal taste/preference :wink: )
will update list later

So your bringing attention to the bare A6 made me pull my down from the shelf and give it a look. And odd as it is, the Efest 35A cell inside is deader’n a doornail! No charger I have will recognize it at all. How does that happen? There’s no parasitic drain on this tail clicky light, so why did the cell die?

Left it on moonlight or one of the hidden modes by mistake? I’ve done that

I’m in for 1 please.

My clear A6 has a de-domed XP-G2, the moon mode is low but not ultra low, difficult to not see that it’s making light while setting it down especially as it resides on a top shelf above my head… it would have been shining virtually in my face as I set it on the shelf. A6 firmware, so there’s not really a hidden mode that would not have been noticed.

And, this is the third Efest cell lately that is totally dead on me. (worthy to note that this one IS 3 years old…)

High internal resistance is my first guess. If the cell was abused like I am sure it was, this is not far fetched. Possibly a short in the tail switch allowing a small amount of power to flow but then the LED should light up I figure.

Yeah, I wanted a bare one so I got them to make a bare one. :slight_smile:

It’s not anodized at all; it’s just the bare machined aluminum. The texture is pretty grippy due to the machining grooves:

Some people have polished theirs to give it a smooth shine.

Thats how I think the finish on this should be, just bare aluminum. Clear anno doesnt seem really worth it
