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

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

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

Here’s one of his driver threads, if you want to check it out.

Been catching up on this light. Can’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 you’re going to offer both emitters, I’d like to change my order to 4 lights total (already have two, 1148 and 1149) and get two of each emitter type. If you’re only offering one……Oh heck, I’ll still take 4 total. These will make great presents.

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

O.K. Next update I write 2 for total 4.
Let’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.

I’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 doesn’t particularly like to talk about things publicly.

Look up “reticence”, for example

Oh! Yes,
All interested, be welcome.
At the moment, no limit has been set (as was the case with BLF-GT.
All requests, will be included in the list of interested parties.
Primary Interest List, (main): See Post # 4, Page 1

If we have forgotten any request, please: Say, say it again

Price still around 30? I’m interested in 1please

We don’t know yet.
Waiting for the Lumintop to tell us:
if there is only one Led,
or to be able to choose between two.
Pricing:
” Samsung LH351D NW “:LH351D | SAMSUNG LED | Samsung LED Global Website … Target $30US … including shipping?
Maybe $36US if ” Cree XP-L Hi, NW “:XLamp® XP/XT LEDs - Cree LED

Another thing to remember with tint preferences is there is such a large population of color blind people. Those who can not very well differentiate between red/ green will have a very different opinion of choices compared to handing the light to a lady with tetrachromancy and asking her opinion… and there are plenty of us somewhere in between.
Myself I like the Samsung at around 4500K.

Is the 351D available in 4500K?

Not in this Group Buy as far as I know.

I meant just in general, I’ve only ever seen 4000 and 5000K versions.

If there are 4500K for sale what’s their CRI?

I honestly have no idea.

No, Samsung doesn’t produce the LH351D in 4500K.

Thank you! I notice my name isn’t on the list yet :slight_smile:

The list on the first page doesn’t get updated very often, but pepinfaxera’s updates are more frequent. So you probably have not been skipped.
