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

The smallest AA-sized light I have is a L3 L10, which is 17mm x 79mm. I also have a brass AA light which is 18mm x 76mm, and it has a tail clicky.

The L10C is also a good alternative to the L10 if you donā€™t mind the longer body.
No memory and always start on the lowest mode (Moonlight or Low depending if you bough 3 or 4 modes version), available with Nichias

I can certainly live with that. :+1: ā€¦ā€¦
ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ In my entire 66.7 years I have yet to runover one of my flashlights with a car or truck. . :wink:

I would like a DQG Slim Ti light (AA/14500 ; 7,63cm x 1,68 cm ) with FW3Aā€™s e-switch on the tail :heart_eyes:

Smaller than D4. I will loose it for sure.

True that. Itā€™s not something I plan on doing, and not something I expect to happen by accident either.

Actually ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦I did manage to do that :person_facepalming:

Couldnt you just feed them with an NCR18650GA or or NCR18650B? That would limit the current easy.

Oh noā€¦. :frowning: ā€¦ Iā€™m not saying I canā€™t or wonā€™tā€¦ just have not so far. If I ever did & the light brokeā€¦ā€¦ I wouldnā€™t blame the light anyway.

I almost backed over an expensive fly rod & reel one time, but thank goodness I remembered it about 6 inches before things got real costly. :slight_smile:

My main interest in this light is the tailswitch and overall sizeā€¦though hopefully those prototypes arenā€™t accurate as I was secretly hoping this to be the size of the DQG Brass beauty, with the fancy and efficient ramping UI and triple emitters, since that particular light no longer seems to existā€¦

The FW3A is shorter than the CNQG brass beauty, but it is wider. Thatā€™s to be expected, since it uses a triple instead of a single emitter.

If you like that, you might also appreciate Mike Cā€™s approach. He has a 4-channel driver that uses banks of AMC7135ā€™s additively to increase current up to the max level of the driver. Only a single AMC7135 chip is PWMā€™d so most mode levels are completely PWM free. The PWM channel is for modes below 350mA current.

Hereā€™s one of his driver threads, if you want to check it out.

Been catching up on this light. Canā€™t wait to get it in my hands, great work.

I see that two different emitters are listed in the results:

Poll (2018-06-08): Voting is open for emitter details: (results: the top choices were XP-L HI 3D and LH351D 4000K)

If youā€™re going to offer both emitters, Iā€™d like to change my order to 4 lights total (already have two, 1148 and 1149) and get two of each emitter type. If youā€™re only offering oneā€¦ā€¦Oh heck, Iā€™ll still take 4 total. These will make great presents.

Thank you very much for all your efforts, build team.

Larry

O.K. Next update I write 2 for total 4.
Letā€™s hope Lumintop offer 2 Led
but we still do not know.
.

the only 219C i found to be yellow are those on the KD triples. Looks more like 3500 K actually.

Iā€™ll be in for 2 please.

O.K. Next update I write 2.

Can I stick my name down for one please :slight_smile:

I really like what Mike C has done, but I suspect he is also a private person, like me, who doesnā€™t particularly like to talk about things publicly.

Look up ā€œreticenceā€, for example
