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

The F in FW3A stands for Fritz do if he says XPG3 that is what it is.
I must say I hope Fritz will look at the luxeon Djozz tested for Djozz was very positive about the beam profile.
I am sure a good test run with the proto in the making will clear lots of things up ;)@

I thought continuously variable was too much to ask for and now I hear it’s built in? That’s great! I thought that the term, “ramp” on the cheat sheet meant moving between the discreet levels in the chart below. Now I’m really excited for this light. And I promise to keep quiet. :slight_smile:

I did 6 videos on Narsil. I think this one shows the basic features.

Having 150 levels in the ramp means that it dials up as smooth as a rotary dimmer, very nice! Once you use it, it makes most everything else obsolete.

Thanks for that story HarborSeal, very interesting and informative. We’ll have to plan our freefall traps better from now on, knowing you’re armed with 4500. :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue:

As for the XP-G3, I don’t like em in anything I’ve tried. And I’ve tried em a LOT of ways. So, no worries, I’ll just pull em and file em. :wink:

Where’s the “like” button? So many good replies here and I don’t want to clutter up the thread.

I’m no expert but I thought the green/purple separation was only on 4000K CCT and went away with a very mild diffuser. Now I know that a diffuser is the opposite of what some people want from an XPGn but I thought a lightly diffused XPG is still going to throw better than a Nichia - is that right?

I’m a huge fan of continuously variable (which I now understand is essentially the same as the Narsil’s “ramping”) but it never seemed to get much traction on CPF. My favorite small lights are the Sunwayman V11R and its 18650 counterpart; both modded to 4500K and bumped a bit by the justly famous Vinh Nguyen. My favorite headlamp is the Nitecore HC90, also modded to 4500K and bumped at the top end. The green light is great when insects are swarming you and you’re breathing in moths. :slight_smile:

Harborseal, take a look at the Nitecore SRT6 Night Officer, it’s a rotary dimming light that is really sweet. On/Off or lockout at the tail, full function in the rotary dial so it can be pre-set before turning it on at the tail, you’ll know pretty much exactly what your’e gonna get when you click the tail on. You can leave the tail switch on and it’s got a power on indicator, sleep through the right position on the rotary. Left from sleep is SOS, full right is Strobe.

They said it makes 900 lumens on an XM-L and I checked it at about that, pulled the XM-L and used an SST-40 going back in and it makes nearly 1500 lumens now. Only thing I changed was the emitter. Pretty neat light!

Would you put me down for another one please. 2 total :slight_smile:
Thanks

Please put me down for another as well. Thank you. :+1:

Thanks for saying it is not the first, makes me add “2nd” and such for better overview (it is impossible to remember all on all the lists :wink: )

Please add me on the list for 1 FW3A.

Miller, my first is 158 and my second is 488 if you want to put a “2nd” after it.

Many thanks,
