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

I like it very much. Well done
I have much less need to spotlight the top of a distant tree with Low CRI, than I do to flood the area I am in with High CRI

but, both is good
buy more than one type of beam, and more than one type of LED

FWIW, I have a triple 219b with 7+1 driver and a polished 10511 optic. It uses Crescendo so it does ramping on a clicky switch from 0.2 lm to 800 lm, and it’s one of my nicest lights. The host is a compact 18650 “brass beauty” modded by Dale to prove it could be done.

It may be only 800 lm, but I don’t often want more than that anyway… and it otherwise is tip-top.

Basically, I’m saying a 219b version would be pretty nice… even if you disabled the FET.

here btw is an example of the different strengths and weaknesses of a flood beam with no hotspot and a beam with a hotspot. watch from the 2 minute 9 second mark for the beam comparisons.

neither one is best
both is better

Whenever I hear the word “Trump” these days I think of Donald Trump…

I am unable to load the LED and tint poll pages.

It’s why the Samsung would be a great balance between those extremes!

Not sure how to add photos, but I played with the manual settings on my camera and set it to 4500k and took a pick with both a Samsung 4000k and Samsung 5000k triple if someone wants them to post.

Yes, I did, but was doing it all in a browser on my phone so everything was so damn small it was difficult to tell what was what. Should already be corrected.

Maybe pull your link in your post so not to confuse people. I took mine out as well to make sure just one post of pictures with correct temp is posted.

Put me down for one, please!

Tixx, is your 5000K Samsung 90 CRI or 70?

@Tixx, yeah, is your the LH351D you have 4000k 90CRI and 5000k 90CRI?

I do doubt he has a 5000k 90CRI emitter though. At most he has 80CRI. Nobody, not even AEDe, can order less than 800pcs of 5000k 90CRI emitters.

In for 2.

Digikey sells them in quantities as small as 1.

Deleted.

@Toykeeper, you were right.
We can order 5000k 90CRI emitters.

You know what is funny though?
I just contradicted myself from a few weeks earlier from the BLF lantern thread where I linked all of the LEDs.

Here:

Here is 5000k 90+CRI:

Here is 4000k 90+CRI:

Here is 3500k 90+CRI:

2700k 90+CRI:

Highly doubt they are the high CRI. And they are awesome even at that. I’ll have to trace the exact ones back to find out. But if these are not, then their high CRI versions will be hands down the best ever!

Thanks TK and thanks BlueSword for the links, is there anyone yet who has tested a 5000k 90+CRI?

I am down for one already (#219), please add me for another, total (2)

Side question, is anyone else not able to get to the tint/emitter polls, the pages will not load for me
