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

When I see someone list a compilation of negatives regarding why they don’t want to purchase a light, I wonder why they go to the trouble to post the argument… who are they trying to convince? Themselves? There is nothing to gain in talking someone else out of making a purchase, so it must be that the light in question is making an impression and the person really wants someone else to verify the reasons not to, so they can walk away. Good luck with that endeavor…

Pepinfaxera has only updated since 2-26. He updates the list maybe once a week. So give it a few more days. His list is on page 72.

He will put you down for 2 lights total.

Please add me to the list for 1 light please

Maybe they just want to express their thoughts on a project they care about?

I’d like one of these as well, please add me to the list.

I think I dropped out a few months ago but finances have improved :smiley:

My 1st is number 479.
Add me for one more thank you! Total two (2).

The lowest level is about 0.3 lm and can run for about 3 months. This is about 3X as much runtime as the lowest level on a D4, using the same battery. The difference there is almost entirely due to firmware, putting the processor into a low-power mode at the bottom end of the ramp.

However, if you want a really long-running moon mode, modify a D4 to use the indicator LED pad and a resistor to power the main emitters, and reflash the firmware with something which supports the indicator LED. That’ll run for years per charge.

Hi , I too have posted earlier and had not received a response. I would like to be added to the list please.

Thanks

You won’t get a response. Your name will just be added.

You asked several times and are on the list twice. At #497 and #732.

While the light seems to have turned into a “design by committee”, at it’s heart I’d like to think it’s still Fritz’s baby. so whatever he signs off for is fine by me. :slight_smile:

Full ACK

No, I think it’s design by team and we throw things at the team and see what sticks.
:slight_smile:

And Lumintop should have also a voice what is good for the lamp.

Hi I would be interested in getting one of these as well.

I’d also want one! :slight_smile:

Yeah what the heck, add me to list.

Interested

I am #209 on the list, can you please put me down for an additional one for a total of 2, thanks!

Any idea on the CRI of the XPG3s that are expected to be used, unless that has changed. I would be happy for anything around 4500k 90+ cri. I’m very excited about this light. Any updates on the manufacturing process, expected release date? Sorry just excited.

The xpg3’s were to have been 90 cri iirc but the problem was that the other examples of them haven’t really been that great looking in the real world. That’s why many of us are advocating for 219c or xpl options. The 219c 4000k is what I’m personally thinking would be best and most like what the xpg3’s on paper might have been.

Yeah I’m hoping for the Nichia high cri leds as well. I would be good for 4000k as well. I know some folks might like 4500-5000 as neutral white.
