Thanks, we are trying to keep it close to the original and not to change too many things. After all, I am also no fan of too busy designs and lots of machined details
I find myself really appreciating the rugged, dependable, simplistic designs of things in life, this is one of them. I find myself staying far away from the over complicated/designed Body styles,UI’s and drivers that are prone to failure, too many bells and whistles! Keep It Simple has a attractiveness in and of itself!
I really love your designs, machining and builds fritz, keep them coming! Please!!
you guys keep this sh!# up there going to have to make up a new zodiac sign… Year of the FLASHLIGHT lol. Three custom bada$$ torches all at the same time I love you guys keep up the awesome work.
Thanks for your answer Fritz! I guess that will be a nice add to the light, for a better portability, despite the initial look of it is awesome by itself! Good work :+1:
And I’m itching to get it on my hands
A DEEP carry Titanium clip on a raw Aluminum flashlight? What’s the reasoning for that one? It won’t show, and if/when it does show, it won’t match the light it’s attached to.
A titanium body? The limited spreading of the heat that this flashlight already has will be even more localised then!
Think the D4, the head and body are aluminium and have a generous material thickness, and still on turbo the heat is produced so massively that it builds up near the led-shelf without enough heat path to get it away fast enough from there.
The FW3A is built thinner than that, the time on turbo before trouble starts will be even less. Make the body titanium and you can halve even that!
A nice premium version could be made of copper, at least your turbo-time will go up a bit then. It will require a new trick to insulate the inner tube from the outer one, copper can not be simply anodised like aluminium.
