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

Hi, thanks for helping put this together. I'd be interested in one please!

Has been a while. So far it looks like BCD or just C, depending on where the threshold is placed. The current firmware implements BCD, so it looks like probably no change.

Blink option running vote tally…

As a reminder, the options are: (where in the ramp to blink)

  • A. Floor
  • B. ~150 lm, level 65/150
  • C. ~1000 lm, level 130/150 (highest regulated level)
  • D. Ceiling

Results: (34 votes)

  • A: 47.1%
  • B: 57.4%
  • C: 73.5%
  • D: 61.8%

Votes:

Can I be added to list for 3.
Thank you

TK - I’m not sure what the difference (in lumens) is between C and D but one of those would be my preference :disguised_face:

I can’t find my name on the list today

The floor and ceiling are configurable. By default, C and D are the same… but the user can configure the ceiling to be higher or lower than default.

Similarly, one could also set the floor level A to be above level B… but I doubt anyone would want to.

You should be #355 and #770.

Soon they should combine the 2 interest lists and put it in post #1.

My (fake) vote is for...

Thanks Jason.

Your Post: … See post # 661 and See post # 800
The Miller put him in numbers 355 and 440
The Miller at number 355 also put osb40000
Error, number 355 and 355 repeated
Pepinfaxera assigns him number 770

LOL. I appreciate the occasional comedic voice you add here, raccoon.

Yeah, imma need to get on this list too.

1 please!

Can I be put down for 2?

We pause this program to bring you the newest development in rad from PyeongChang…

during the women’s figure skating short programs, amdist the rather mundane music associated with figure skating, one young lady from Hungary by the name of Ivett Toth came out in a studded black pant uniform and did her short program to AC-DC!

The crowd ate it up, she did remarkably well but not at the level of the worlds best, sadly. Loved the music change for sure! :smiley: Rock On Ivett! :slight_smile:

And now back, to your regularly scheduled program…

Proud to be Hungarian right now :smiley:
I really like that music too!

I know the debate and the decision about the emitters is on “stand-by”, but I wanted to “re-launch” it, if possible/desirable.
These days I received a flashlight (Wuben TO10R), a triple with XP-G3 (supposedly High CRI), that have a Cool White tint, and a huge green shift.

Today I tried to compare it with other triple lights (and the Emisar D4), all with XP-G2 Leds, all different tints, and also a light with Luxeon V (and Pebbled TIR lens). I took a photo of the Wuben side by side with the Emisar D4 (XP-G2 S4 3D, on the right).
Despite some lack on image quality, please look at the shift that it has.

Also, side by side with the other triples (with XP-G2, from the coolest to the warmest) I have. The TO10R is the always the left one.

And side by side with the Luxeon V.

Please note that there are shifts due to the cellphone and uploading in lower quality than the original. Still, it can be seen that the XP-G3, at least on this CW version may be a not so good choice.

HOWEVER, and I know this has been said a lot, this will be a user friendly flashlight so maybe the users can change the emitters.
HOWEVER, wouldn’t it be preferable to offer from the start a light that could be more “pleasant” to the eyes regarding to the tint output?

Sorry if this is messing too much with the production and initial idea, but this will probably be (again) a matter of discussion, sooner or later. Better sooner than later , in my opinion :wink:

The plan is to make a poll for it.

I wanted to do a Condorcet-style poll for emitter family and another one for color temperature, but people thought that was too complicated. They might be right. Besides, BLF doesn’t have a way to do that kind of poll, unless it has a very small number of options.

Me, I’m hoping for XP-L HI in 3D or maybe 4A. That would cost an extra $10-$12 though, significantly raising the price of the light. All the other options are cheaper but have some sort of technical downside… like poor beam quality on XP-G3, extreme heat on 219c, or significantly reduced output on XP-G2.

If it doesn’t have that as an option, I’ll probably just mod one how I like… assuming I can find the emitters. Nobody has 3D or 4A in stock lately. Maybe I could get close enough with two 3A and one 5D, or two 5D and one 1A.
