I’m a bit worried about this.
It started off as a technical tour-de-force. How to make a multiple-emitter 18650 torch with minimal materials (Fritz), state-of-the art performance, finely finished, exceptional UI (TK), no compromises.
I am dismayed to hear that there appears to be no central point of contact with Lumintop, nor any feedback after the first prototypes.
Fingers crossed that this can be turned-around.
The Miller was the one in charge of this project, but he had to leave. Luckily other members have picked up where he left off. His Q8 project was fine and his GT project was fine. I’m sure this project will be fine as well.
Fritz is pretty much in charge, but he doesn’t frequent the BLF Forum often.

Yes he does… but another thing we learned from the GT Project is there are people at Lumintop who do speak English. TA proved this when he got things ‘back on track’ in a time of no communication from Neal.
What I read TK saying is there needs to be a point of communication between a designated person at LT & a designated person of this team.
Communication that goes freely both ways & does not have to be drug out of the LT represenative.
Communication that can then be shared, by the designated team member; with the readers of this thread.
That would be an improvement worth writing home about…

When you are ready, you will receive a PM
And, you will receive an e@mail, email, notifying you that you have a PM
Short answer is…… they would not find it.
Compared to the Q8 & GT threads …… this one is very easy to follow. No need to start a new one.
Put the info right here where most people will see it.
Yep…. :+1:
Just make sure you have enabled the below option so you will receive that email notifying you of the PM.
latest prototype :)
Nice!
Thanks for the update, can’t wait till it’s finally available!! :partying_face:
Looks very nice. Can’t wait. Glad I am in for a couple so far. One of the better looking lights I have seen in quite some time. Very minimalist looking but what is lurking under the hood is amazing.
That is a far cry from the raw machined looking finish of earlier pictures, but still looks nice.
The latest prototype looks good! 
That latest prototype looks good!! Real good…… :+1:
It really does. A big change from the original, as Jason said, but a must have, by my way of thinking.
I really like the looks of this latest prototype.
Looks very pocket friendly. The clip should hold very well.
It looks like it will tailstand very well.
The button looks like it will feel nice to operate without being prone to accidental activation.
The optics are nice and open and not being blocked by the bezel.
I just hope it won’t be all glued together so the emiters can easily be upgraded. I plan on putting some rosy 219b’s in mine.
As far as I remember the raw machined lock where computer renderings.
First lamp from Fritz machined was bead blasted.
First prototype had a grey anodisation.
I still like the surface finish of the first proto most, I would vote for the darker color of the tailcap.
A dark grey.
Edit: I hope for better pictures. The first one is distorted from the phone camera. The lamp looks a bit fat 
How on earth do you have a prototype when the actual FW3A team hasn’t heard from Lumintop for some time?
