I haven’t bought a “custom” light since Mr. Bulk’s (aka Hawaii’s Charlie Wong) programmable Luxeon 3W TWOJ LiOnHeart well over a decade ago. (Still have and use it too!).
This one has my interest especially with a Nichia. So please add me to the list. Thanks!
Another vote for a future FW3A batch or retail option with Nichias instead of the garbage XP-G3s. I had the chance to play with an Emisar D4 with the 90CRI 5000k 219Cs and the light quality completely blew me away. So much that I ordered it on the spot from my smartphone.
How bright will this light be… how will it compare to the blf a6? I can’t seem to find that in original post, nor after reading some pages of comments.
The FW3A will probably put out twice as much light as the BLF-A6, or possibly even more. It uses a triple TIR optic though, so the beam pattern is different than an A6. It has an e-switch instead of a power-disconnect switch, and much fancier firmware, so it’ll do a lot more than the A6 did. It’s also significantly smaller, and made by a company with a better reputation for quality.
Toykeeper knows what she’s talking about, a triple FET light in this compact size is a huge Wow! factor light, for sure!
Edit: This will definitely be a useful light on a lot of levels, just because it has Wow! factor don’t let that fool you, it should serve very well in the EDC capacity.
Hi, i am interrested also ! If possible with the initial shiny surface, not the sand blasted one.
Anyway, it looks like a great pocket light ! :heart_eyes:
Thanks a lot to BLF folks behind that project. :+1:
Could you add me to the list for a third and forth.I believe the first 2 were #733&734. Thank you.
I am preferential to the first design, but its still a kick ass light. So, as long as it gets delivered, I have faith in the wisdom of the leadership.
I agree with this. Is there any real reason not to use nichia in this light? The cost difference can’t be that great, and we as flashlight enthusiasts should all be voting with our wallets against shitty tinted LEDs.
