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

You won’t need to be removed from the list. Just don’t do what is required when payment is required and it will be understood that you don’t want the light. No big deal.

pls add me to the list for one

Perhaps muggle mode could use the ramping but limited to the single 7135 channel? Could be a training mode for using the UI, and useful for experienced users in a long term blackout situation should you need maximum runtime.

About reset using connecting power while holding the switch, this might be difficult for people with arthritis. Just a thought.

Maybe get two, snowblower season is just around the corner. :confounded:

Put me in for a one, thanks

Wow, that’s super neat. Put me on the list, I’m definitely interested in buying one.

You remembered my lost EDC from 4 years ago Wow! Good memory! Actually, I’ve not lost it again since. I’ve just changed from keeping it in my front pocket to my rear and the longer tube causes it to be pushed up and out of my pocket. (I’ve had to move it to my rear pocket since phones are getting so darn big - too big to accomodate a flashlight in the same pocket.)

That’s a great idea, but single click to turn on should always (no memory) go directly to a “useful” general use mode so anyone could pick it up and use it.

Do you mean in mode sets?
I think in ramping mode you can’t turn off memory.

Well, I guess muggle mode is a seperate thing?

The mugliest of muggle modes, one level, 400 to 500 lumens.

I imagine if they made ramping part of muggle mode, no memory could be done. Hold to ramp, or single click to go straight to a 150-300 lumen mode.

hi, i am interested too)

Well, who could forget? That was a pretty traumatic thread for all of us here. A faithful little flashlight sent into the maw of an evil snowblower. :open_mouth:

Or just me?

You wouldn’t have 5 seconds to say “Hold the button to adjust the brightness” as you hand the muggle your flashlight?

After losing one to the snow, and finding it months later (it wasn’t in the snow at all), all of my pocket lights either come with a properly fitted pocket clip (that I use) or I won’t buy it. My brother lost the exact same light and refound his also. He also uses the pocket clip now.

Thus begins the slippery slope of turning the muggle mode into a full fledged UI with a learning curve. Sure, we think it’s simple, but to most “it’s just a flashlight” and shouldn’t be so complicated. If it didn’t have memory it would act as a single mode muggle light, but with the bonus ramping UI for those who may be more interested in it.

Isn’t muggle mode 4 mode next memory mode including strobe and SOS?
:smiley:

This is a bit late, but would it be possible to add a magnet to the tail cap?

The tail cap is where the switch is. How would it fit?


.

I suppose it would be possible to make an indent for a standard-sized magnetic ring, like the convoy s2+.

But I don’t think it will happen. You could always put a magnetic ring around the tailcap, and glue it in place.

A better way would be to make the whole button a magnet. And you epoxy a plate underneath it.
So you get a verry flat T-shape, upside down.
If you consider this while construction it is easy to chose a standard flat barrel / coin sized magnet while altering the size of the bezel arround the button.

CRX did this kind of mod on his titanium Tool AAA, before he added the lit switch.
EDIT:

The first three pics:

  1. original switch cover
  2. plate + magnet + a top cover?
  3. both side by side

As the backside bezel is screwed on, Lumintop could ad two switch covers, on metal, on magnetic. The user can choose.
And the optic wouldn’t alter.
