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

Recent experience with a muggle grabbing my A6 and trying to use it would suggest that On/Off medium is the only fool-proof muggle mode.

Muggles expect a light to turn on immediately into a useful beam which never gets hot.

Yes this makes sense, also normal people struggle with more then one mode a lot of the time

please count me in

Thanks for the responses. I don’t need a muggle mode then, but I’m ok if it’s there hidden or in programming.

On/off 1-mode medium is easy. Really easy. Is that what people want in a muggle mode?

I gave it a try and it only took about 5 minutes to add.

Yeah like that, when prototype is in we an see what brightness can be sustained without heat issues, and I cn se it even become a very much used mode in the end

Super idea.

Please add me to the list.

Agreed!

Add me to the list for 1 please.

Will there be an option for a deep carry pocket clip?

Muggle on off med sounds perfect! I learned the hard way…more than once. Many people just expect light with a turn on. Zero bells and whistles. They will destroy!

Muggle thing seems confusing. I thought it was some super advanced setting, now that I have seen some explanation, it seems to be just a protect someone who does not know how to use a flashlight mode. I don’t see a need for that myself, but maybe there is enough interest.

That’s the way I see it too Tixx. Muggle mode is for folks who shouldn’t have the light or for those who can’t understand the words “hot coffee”.

My $.02 worth. Has there been a problem with the Emisar D4? If so, then muggle mode is needed, if not then I don’t see the problem.

Heck, the Q8 with multiple cells was sold to folks with just an inkling as to the potential danger of Li-Ion cells (IMO) and this light is not that level of danger. But if it needs to be added go for it. We can ignore it as long as it’s out of the way and doesn’t restrict useful features. But if it’s added and reduces useful features it’s not worth it. It’s a light for light nerds (of which I consider myself one) and it’s not a hardware store light intended for the masses.

Muggles get the Mag-Lites.

But I want the Granger mode… you know, when Hermione casts a magic spell that makes a confined space able to be huge on the inside? Like that, a 14500 battery tube that you can stuff multiple 6000mAh 32650’s into! :smiley:

Itty bitty light, great big capacity! :wink:

Oh, and a solar panel tail cap for constant daytime trickle charge. :heart_eyes:

You can’t make that on your lathe? Give it a shot!

How on earth does that not exist yet?

That would be TARDIS mode.

Single mode lights suck .I’d muggle a 1 lumen low and a 350 lumen med two mode .
A huge jump that would make any muggle be impressed . Two useful mode light works .a one mode light just bites .
