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

Unfortunately, repeated/exaggerated/outrageous/excessively flamboyant violence/gore tends to inure the viewer and requires even more to illicit a visceral response.

HoHum!

^ yep…

anyone else wish there was some news?

^ yep… :stuck_out_tongue:

Pornography is not acceptable for children but knife wielding murderers is fine…. :person_facepalming:

I’m not offended by adult content that gets around on ‘family friendly’ sites but I understand others may not share my levity.

Back on topic - xmas is around the corner :laughing: :laughing: :innocent:

Did somebody say something about a flashlight?

If this project goes ahead, please put me down for one of the high CRI variety. The concept looks outstanding.

If this is a debate about scary movies….well, then I guess I stumbled into the wrong thread.

Either way, have a happy Halloween, and don’t eat all your kids candy!

Hey, who you calling Candy!?

Impending Post Implosion !

:smiley:

The US has some, uh, interesting ideas about content ratings and what counts as obscene or unhealthy. It’s considered okay to show violent murders but not okay to show a nipple.

In either case though, it’s easier to see with a good flashlight.

See how I got us back on topic there? Smooooooth.

On FW3A proto1, I had issues with the battery losing contact when I placed the light on a hard surface, because it had a weak spring at the back and a post at the front. There were also issues with the driver. Those were both fixed in proto2, along with some other improvements. After putting a layer of Kapton tape around the front of the inner tube, it has been functioning pretty much perfectly ever since. It makes a really nice EDC. And in theory, proto3 should remove the need for Kapton tape.

I’m not 100% sure what changed between proto2 and proto3 though, because Cawi’s description of proto3 sounded exactly like proto2. I think there was some sort of initial issue, but I’m fuzzy on the details, and it sounds like it has been working fine ever since.

this would be a great x-mas present to myself.

Nope, need more than that to continue with this fuzzy logic project. When you get it right. I’ll reconsider.

I’m on the list for 2—one for my wife which should deter any questions about why I need another light. That’s my game-plan, anyway.

I’m still hoping for a nice diffuser wand so I can use the FW3A as a candle.

It would also be useful for waving down taxis and such, but mostly I just want it to work as a candle. None of the diffuser attachments I’ve found fit right.

Is it just me or do some of these posts not make any sense at all?

Yes, but they give life to the thread.

Sometimes there were up to three days without a new #Post.

So it sounds all messed up and no logic to you too?

I wish this thread would be quiet for months until there is real news. Let it hibernate.

It’ll probably be too yellow for you, but I use a rubber protector from an old streamlight NiCd battery as a diffuser on an S2+. Its especially useful along with the bike flasher mode!

MascaratumB, huge thumbs up to you for the Morphine post!
:+1: :+1:

On topic, when (if?) this light gets done, is there real reason to worry that it will not be a reliable design?

Did you try Fenix AOD-S Diffuser for FW3A? I have this diffuser - works fine on my SUNWAYMAN C20C Custom with similar head dimension.
