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

I’m impressed. Count me in for 1 please. Idk how many lights a guy needs but I believe it’s always 1 more….

Actually 3 more. One in your cart, one stuck in customs, and one that tracking indicates will be delivered tomorrow!

Hahaha that does ring a bell :smiley:

Welcome to BLF!

Will update list later

No led choice planned, but no glue either :smiley:

Have any date estimated? before christmas?

Regards :innocent:

Let us combine a few pieces of information we have gathered, the first came to the Q8 team today.
We have received word the factories that make (parts of) the Q8 are busy for the last quarter production, a busy season.
Lumintop wants to get the GT done before their production for busy season is in full swing.
We have not reached a stage of prototyping the FW3A, it is all CADs.

My guess is this one might take a while. And if I had to say when, judging by how fast Lumintop can work I’d say Q1/Q2 2018

Please add me to the interest list. Thanks

Yes will do!

The Miller, what does that mean for the q8? Is it to be put on the back burner until after the busy season?

Q8 is build by a different manufacturer, so there are no links between the two projects. Also, Q8 is afaik already in production (at least a first batch)

Legal 710 I understand all about that. The Miller made a post about it on the previous page so I thought it prudent to ask for clarification in the same thread. Thanks

Please add me to interest list. Thanks.

The Q8 is being made, but from both Thorfire and Lumintop it is clear seasonal production is a real factor, so this means I do not expect the FW3A of which the CADs are talked about can be done fast (unless of course LT sees it as a good addition for the busy Q4 but don’t don’t count on it, we want it right so rather a bit later :wink:

Add me to the interest list. Thanks.

Yes will do!
And welcome to BLF!

Please, i want one too. Thank you.

The 10511 has a solid surface as compared to the cup like indentation in the more common 10507. If you’re not using a glass lens to cover the optic, dirt and lint can gather in those insets in the 07.

This shot from Cutter shows it pretty clearly, the 10507 is in the back…

There is another week-long holiday (Golden Week) starting Oct. 1st that won’t help things (from our perspective, anyway).

I’ll take one.

Any idea of peak lumens? Usable constant lumens?

And any beamshots? I admittedly did not look through all 30+ pages.

Also this flashlight would likely require a high drain battery right?

Sorry for so many questions lol

Unprotected cells only, due to length. That’s the only question I can answer for sure.

I have a lens over my 10507, and according to the specs the FW3A does too. But I’ve definitely had lights with a bare non-flat optic, and it gets annoying trying to keep it clean.
