will update list later (ha did I got you Dale :smiley: )

It is pretty awesome that this light is based on an actual lathe build beauty!
First prototype not from China but designed and build in Germany!
If I wasn’t involved this mere fact would be something to spark my interest for sure :wink:
Sorry US people but “made in the USA” does not ring high quality here in Europe. Made in France/Italy neither. But designed and made in Germany is considered a sign of real quality.
Japan and Germany , both say quality nowadays but German means expensive. So cool the FW3A is designed in Germany!

I’m interested!
If not to late, I’d like to sign up for one FW3A please :+1:

After a loooong reading and a loooong thought about this, I guess I cannot miss this opportunity! 2017 is the flashlight year for me :smiley:
The price is the one mentioned in the OP, right?

The Miller, please put my name for 1 flashlight.

Thanks and…really nice work! Thanks to all involved :wink:

Nice you made a thorough decision :wink:
Will update the list later :slight_smile:

Something came up, please withdraw my request. Thanks.

My suggestion is to just wait until it’s ready for you to buy then decide if you have the funds. No need to take your name off the list. Your not committing to buy anything. Who knows, maybe you’ll have the money when its ready. :+1:

Unless of course the thing that came up is a big deal, like your going to prison for a few years. Then yeah, you might not want to buy it then. Lol

Hey, put me down for a second one. This is a no-mod, well maybe emitters, great light and is a good size and has good firmware.

Yeah Jason, this is kind of what I would write too
Sure Matt

Please add me to the list for one as well.

Please add me to the list for a second one.

Put me down for one

the Miller, I used to believe in the quality of German engineering as well, and then I bought a Volkswagen Turbo Diesel. :confounded:

Hey at least they are super clean to the environment. All of the emissions tests say they are anyway………

Please add me to the list for a second one.

Thanks

Yeah, loved the car but hated the scandal… had to sell of some 40 lights to make 2 car payments while it all sorted itself out. Gave up some awesome builds in that little adventure…

So in that last statement is an indicator of a flashaholic. Not only having 170 flashlights but when forced to sell off some having it impact ya like deciding which child is the favorite, then missing them when they are gone. :stuck_out_tongue: The SP03 I planned for a long time, it had a massive copper pill I built for it and Richards driver, bumped. Miss that one a lot especially.

So, for all you noobs out there, the day will come when you look at the Q8 or this special edition build and list to yourself all the reasons it’s a keeper, like an alcoholic reasoning why it’s ok to fall into a bottle. You’ve been ForeWarned! :smiling_imp:

lol I can unfortunately see that happening to me in the future. But I am just a flashlight enthusiast and not a flashaholic. Flashaholic’s go to meetings.

MADE IN GERMANY on the flashlight ?

@ DB Custom
I’m sorry for your “loss” man! It seems that even owning lots of flashlights does not withdraw their singular intrinsic value! Hope you can retrieve them someday :wink:

@ The Miller or someone who can answer my questions :wink:
I might have got lost in the almost 1000 posts, but I need help to clarify these:
a) does this light takes protected and unprotected 18650 batteries?
b) which would be “the best” battery to use with it?
c) also, is there a foreseen delivery date for this?

I have Samsung INR18650-30Q and Panasonic NCR18650B, but if none of these are “the best” to use with the flashlight, please let me know which would be!
I’m just thinking pro-actively, as I need to buy some batteries and that way I’d buy the ones that are more indicated for the F3WA!

Thanks in advance! :+1:

a) Only unprotected cells will fit
b) There is no real best cell, but there are many good options. I personally use NCR18650GA cells as they have a fairly high current rating and an excellent capacity. But your INR18650-30Q should also work really great with the light. As mentioned it’s a little bit of personal preference.
c) Not yet, but we will let you all know as soon as there is noteworthy news
