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

Will it fit protected 18650 batteries (69.5 mm), or will we need to use the shorter ones?

Always one step ahead :wink: Well, let’s see if Lumintop says something about that! It would be a nice extra giving the features of the flashlight!
They have it done for the Tool AA, a small “luminescent” diffuser, so maybe they embrace a similar idea for this new one as well!! :wink:

Thanks for the information about this! I hope more will follow :partying_face:

Unprotected only.

The FW3A will only take unprotected cells?

That's a dealbreaker.

I thought this was known. Due to the unique battery tube length and design, you have a smaller than normal range of batteries that fit. Maybe we will need to see if the latest prototype can fit them to give confirmation.

I usually just skim new posts on the forum, so I miss stuff now and then.

Like I said. It may not be confirmed. Maybe a particular short protected cell will fit? ToyKeeper will have to say for sure. I’ve just always thought it was unprotected only.

Edit, Confirmed. Unprotected cells only.

@Toykeeper
You asked for a diffuser a time ago.
And there was a recommendation from the german Taschenlampen-Forum.
Did you get that one and does it fit?

Edit: Found it

Thanks!

You can add me to the list for 1

Unprotected only. The front and back half can’t screw together far enough to work when a protected cell is used.

The NFD25 is flat, designed to spread out the beam. So, not the right category of product.

The NDF25 is a cone, and it technically fits, but it’s not a good fit and not very useful as a diffuser cone either. It’s basically transparent, doesn’t emit light very evenly, and does weird things to the tint.

There’s also a stretchy silicone one, but it’s difficult to put on, it isn’t opaque enough, and it looks awkwardly like a stubby condom.

So I’m still looking for a diffuser cone which fits well and is opaque.

It would be the world’s best candle.

Sorry :smiley:

:beer:

(but not with those silicone-almost-condom-like diffusers :p)

:smiley:

We already have the world’s best candle, the D4, D4S, or any other tail standing light that can run Anduril.

Do those have candle mode?

I guess they do. Still, with a diffuser, these will be equally great.

Any update on when production will start. I’m really itching for this light.

first post that I see about this chimera

Why is it a deal breaker for you? As long as the driver has LVP is there any point having protected cells?

Or do you like the added protection of having it on the cell as well as the driver?
