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

Is this project still alive? I havenā€™t seen anything in a couple of months.

Yes, alive, and seemingly close to fruition.

Add me to the list for 2
Thanks :smiley:

Yepā€¦ alive & well. Just growing until the proper time to bloom.

In time, all will be revealedā€¦ā€¦ :wink:

FWIW, Iā€™m in the dark tooā€¦ just waiting for updates. Wondering how the latest prototypes are.

How can you? :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:
Donā€™t you have any flashlight to play with? :smiley:

Well, maybe someone of TLF can say something about it if the ā€œtestsā€ were already madeā€¦
:+1:

I would like add to the list

Iā€™m swimming in flashlights. :smiley:

But I donā€™t have one of the most recent prototypes, so I donā€™t know if theyā€™re ready for production or if there are still things to fix. From what Iā€™ve heard, there were two, and Neal sent them to Fritz and Cawi. Hopefully theyā€™ll have time to test the prototypes soon, and post the results.

Thereā€™s been about 350 posts in the last 2 months.

These projects always have lulls where we are waiting on the manufacturer to finish a prototype, etcā€¦

We are basically in hibernation mode until there is new info to post.

count me in for one.

Oh good ..i live near Fruition ...

shipping should be fast

:smiley: ā€¦ /\ ā€¦ :+1:

Does anyone know if there is an estimated price?

$30

$30 - $36, depending on emitter.

I will, of course, take 1..... :))

Samsung LH351D

Thank You everyone for your work on this project

Iā€™m in for one.

Interested based on final specs

Emitter voting already happened and the the team requested that Lumintop produce the two top options: Cree XP-L HI and Samsung LH351D.

I wouldnā€™t expect large differences in runtime between either of those an the XP-G3. At higher outputs, thermal throttling is going to be the major factor: the sooner and more it throttles, the longer the battery will last. That may not be how you want to get your runtime. Efficiency between the three is quite close when the LH351D is 90 CRI, which is what has been requested. Efficiency of a lower-CRI LH351D is higher than the XP-G3 or XP-L HI, but nobody has seriously advocated that option for this light.
