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

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.

Can’t wait!! :smiley: Its going to be an amazing illuminator! :stuck_out_tongue: :+1:

I am also interested in one.Sign me up.On second thoughts make it two,please.

Is this statement is valid, I would like 2. Please sign me up.

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.

4000k Luxeon Vs :innocent:

Please add me to the interest list please.

Please add me to the list. I will purchase one. Thanks!

Add me to the list. Thanks! Happy New year!

Please add me to the buy list.

I would also love to see nichias used. I’d even prefer xp-g2 over the xp-g3. In my experience xp-g3 does not not look good through a tir optic. The tintshift is too much and makes the spill look horrible no matter how good the hotspot looks.

I love the new matte tapered finish, I’m now more excited for this light.
I’d prefer it, however, with Nichia or XP-L HI emitters, I’m not a fan of the XP-G3s.

Please add me to the list - 2 pcs.
thanks

Neutral White - XP-L HI V2 5D, 4000K would add additional output, nice tint and not the additional heat of the Nichia. Light is too small to risk more heat issues.

XP-L HI emitters cost a lot more though. I give that about zero chance of happening, based on how cheap this light is priced. In fact the originators of this group buy have spoken and having any different emitter choice has already been ruled out.

You want something besides XP-G3? Great, you can build it yourself. I will be doing the same. This light is cheap enough at its current price that it could be shipped to me as an empty host + driver and I’d still be very happy with it.

I was really hoping the prototypes would ship with XP-G3 so we could settle the topic of whether they’re okay, but it came with XP-G2 instead.

Even with XP-G2, I’m not terribly happy with the beam. I’ve never much liked the 10507 optic, since it tends to add artifacts and a ring. Here’s how a beam slice looks in the first prototype:

This should improve quite a bit with a 10511 optic.
