Told you about Narsil, but kind of missed your pic, We donāt know if the FW3A will be abl to be submersed in water, it must be able to be used in rain that yes
And list updated

If the o-rings fit properly and the light is well-made then thereās no reason why it shouldnāt have an IPX-8 rating.
Thatās great to hear about the stepdowns and throttling. I probably could have, and should have looked up the Narsil documentation myself.
As to immersion, Iām not counting on it, but if the FW3A is rated for it, Iāll do the same test. My main goal wasnāt actually to test the Primeās waterproofing (though it did prove to be perfectly waterproof), but to cool it enough for a runtime graph without thermal stepdowns. My fan was insufficient.
Ok, put me down for one please.
Yes will do.
Do I hear an Echo echo? Get some sleep Miller.
hahaha the page break made me miss th double posting, thanks, deleted one.
I thought it would be ready within 1-2 months
Well, I can allocate my piggy bank account to another flashlight before this flashlight become available.
FWIW, Iām totally guessing. Itās just that these things, so far, have never been fast.
In for one,thanks!

Yes I think I should add a line to my sig āit is done when it is doneā
EDIT, and that is done

FWIW?
How about For What 3ats Arth?
Bad raccoon!
Very bad!
In for one thanks
Yes will update list later
Interested in 2 - Thank you
Was there ever a final decision made on the emitter type? I know there was a survey run on reddit that showed overwhelming support for 219Cs instead of XP-G3s.
I tend to prefer XPL HI in my triples. Theyāre much brighter than 219C or XP-G3.
However, Iāve also read recently that XPL2 fit into the Carclo 10507 optic without modification, making them an interesting choice.
Course the downside to these kinds of emitters is they cost more than XP-G3. Maybe just sell an XP-G3 version and if people want different emitters they can swap in their own later.
Please donāt glue the head.
Hmm this is for Fritz to answer but I havenāt seen stock Nichia mentioned
It seems unlikely given this test that the XP-L HI would be brighter than the XP-G3 in a direct-drive triple. Yes, thatās not the highest bin of XP-L HI, but the forward voltage plays a big role in how much current gets through it, and Iād be shocked if the Carclo optics have as good efficiency with the flat domes.
Thatās pretty academic though; theyāre close, and youād probably need an integrating sphere to see which is closer.
I have a preference too, but I donāt care too much as Iām likely to buy several of these and swap in several different emitters. I have a shoebox and a smartphone, so Iāll make some attempt at determining which is brightest, but I donāt care much about that in practice. I care more about color quality than the peak output it can sustain for 45 seconds before it burns my hand (that peak output is a pretty good party trick though).
In terms of beam and tint and tint consistency, my best-looking triples are:
I also have some XP-G2 at about 2250 lm, and theyāre decent, but not as nice as my others. And I havenāt tried it with 219C or XP-G3 yet.
Usually I go for a 10511 optic, sometimes stock and sometimes with the texture polished down to give it a bit more throw. For flooders the 10508 / 10509 can be nice too. But I generally donāt use the 10507 ā it adds beam artifacts, catches lint, and isnāt really any throwier than a polished 10511.
