As a neighbor, I’d probably be too shy to say hi… unless you count blasting bass through the walls at 3am.

That must piss off the landlord!

interested…Thanks

I'll bite, please add me to the list for one.

Please add me to the list for 1, thank you.

Please add me to the list for 1, thanks. I wish I’d remembered to come by when TK first mentioned it to me.

Put me down for 2.
Thank you

Please add me to the list for one.

Please add me to the list for one. Looks like another great flashlight from the BLF design team — many thanks.

I hope I didn't miss the bus on this one... like i did the GT (sigh)

Really exciting minimalist EDC... Cheers to all that made this possible

Please count me in for TWO!!

I doubt there’s any bus to miss. This is an inexpensive and superberbly spec’d light. They don’t need the considerable machining and raw material of the GT so they’ll sell a ton of them and should have them available for a long while until some new advances in compact flashlight technology comes around.

I’m just hoping that soon after Chinese New Year we will hear some concrete information about when they’ll start production and what the final design will look like.

If I understand correctly, if the FW3A sells well, it’ll probably be the first in a series. FW3A for aluminum, FW3B for brass, FW3C for copper, FW3T for titanium. It shouldn’t be a once-only limited-time thing unless something goes wrong.

However, like most of these projects, the price may be higher for the general public after the group buy is done.

I have a lot of lights… and the FW3A is what I’ve been using the most lately. It’s not the prettiest light in my collection, but it does seem unusually practical. It’s one of the smallest 18650 lights, one of the most versatile, it’s mod-friendly, and it has a good clip and good ergonomics. So I hope it’ll stick around.

Could you post a picture of the light next to a D4 and maybe a Convoy to give us an idea of the size?

Please don’t use a kickstarter on this light … I’m old and vote for an electric start.

Woops. Hard to keep track of 2500 posts. That thing is crazy tiny! Would be nice to see a FW1A in the future as well. Thanks!

Ever had to get out and hand-crank the engine to get it started? It’s actually not as bad as it sounds.

Controls in those days were a little different though. Throttle control on a hand lever, gear changes and reverse on foot pedals, and a crank starter with a tendency to break arms. Want to change into high gear? Be sure not to hit the reverse pedal by mistake!

They probably should have consulted me about the UI. :stuck_out_tongue:

Only now I noticed that the OP has changed to FW3A Team!!

Will the “Team” be in charge of the updates to the interest lists from now on? :wink:

If so, I guess I shall pay the due respect to pepinfaxera for the work done in that updates, in the “absence” period of The Miller! Thanks!!!

For the FW3A Team, I wish all the best and I guess that I am just 1 among many that wanna see this project keep going on the best way possible :wink: In you we trust, to deliver an excellent flashlight :wink:

Keep the good work on it :+1:
