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

10+9+8+7+6+5+5+4+4+3+3+2+1 = 67, making it impossible to be more than creepy.

I don't know...

I've had several people tell me I'm more than creepy.

Fritz replied will finished the update files soon
so we will start to produce FW3A late of this month

and anyone have the source of the LH351D LED in 4000K 90CRI?

Yes, in 4000k 90CRI:

Here is the 5000k 90CRI too:

IF YOU WANT A FULL REEL:

4000K 90CRI:

5000K 90CRI:

Thanks for the update. I recall the Q8 being reasonably speedy to produce once we got the word it was a go. Hopefully this one will be even speedier!

OK, Pepinfaxera, please put me back on the list for one, with the Samsung LED.

I’ll take a chance on this, if you will have me back of course :person_facepalming:

Great News :+1:
No information about that in TLF so far :frowning:

Does your Question means that there will be two LED options?

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

You will be put back on the list only if you apologize. :stuck_out_tongue:

What exactly do you need ?, a ship ,pepper, clematis or a keyboard ?also please state colour.

Please don’t tease the new people. Save that for older members.

No discount for you. You must pay FULL PRICE! :smiling_imp:
lol

Yes, you should be added to the list in the next week or sooner. Welcome to BLF.

Will someone please send TK a new prototype? Or at least tell us what has changed in the approved-for-production design?

Fritz15 has not yet sent the new files

Fritz15 said: he’ll send them soon.

Hum, I guess Nev was just remembering his words a while back :smiley:

:+1: Good to have news about this ! Thanks Neal and Fritz! I guess even the skeptics will now believe it is true :sunglasses:

:arrow_right: :arrow_right: :arrow_right:

:+1: … :+1: … :+1: … Great idea, but we can only hope & dream this will happen. :wink:

Surely TK should have one of each LED choice, to fine-tune the ramping and thermal control for production firmware for each variant? If this is going to be done properly.

Reading between the lines, the metalwork has not yet been cut and finished, the driver PCB is undergoing a minor re-layout (so not yet made), at least one of the potential LED options has not yet been sourced, etc. So, personally, I’m not holding my breath.

That said, if it is a solid design, well production-engineered, and the operators trained up to put it together, test it, correct any faults, package it, etc. it should only take a day or so to build the first batch, once the pieces have been delivered from the subcontractors. And a production slot booked. PS: there are only 365 1/4 days in a year, of which 200 or so are usable in the West.

Unless it is all being done in-house, which would surprise me.

This is where the Q8 slipped up, but Thorfire/Sofirn quickly nipped that in the bud for batch 2, and beyond.

Then there are the logistics. From whom are we going to buy this ? That didn’t go too well with the GT, presumably there is a different plan for this one ?

This should all be standard stuff for a GB co-ordinator to manage. Do we have one here ?

Tom Tom, how is it that sometimes you want nothing to do with the group buy and then other times you act like you’re running it?

Can you please stop trying to help out? Let the people in charge do their thing. Please. Please. Thank you.

Hm, asked he for reels or single ones for a prototype?

I seem to have leveled out at the I can eat a raw habanero in 10 minutes and not die level. A guy I work with conditions himself by eating a whole raw scorpion or reaper a day, sliver by sliver. I just dont get it. I tried a sliver of reaper the size of my pinky nail and was hurting for a good 7-10 minutes.

On another note, glad to see the FW3A project gaining traction again. Just curious though, whats the risk of an electrical short with this battery tube/eswitch design? Might not be any, but im having a hard time visualizing it from the drawings.
