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

18650s has the entire driver at the tail, only components at the head are the LED and a bleed resistor.

Tomato, potato.

Thanks for that list Zak.Wilson!

TK, that needs hotlinks!

PS, how would our corporate overlords describe us?
Something like: http://crackedlabs.org/dl/CrackedLabs_Christl_CorporateSurveillance.pdf

Exactly. That’s the point of the FW3A. It may not do anything particularly new, but it puts together a lot of good older ideas into one nice package. It’s a well-rounded sort of design for practical use. That’s why I carry it around on a daily basis even though I have a hundred other lights to choose from.

All of us can only dream about that…

Hello, decided to finally make an account, I’ve been watching this project for some time now, and I wouldn’t want to be too late to the interest list. So, put me down for one, and big thanks to everyone involved!

I definitely want one when available and I am patient, not really but the wait will be worth it. The light looks like a work of art with those clean lines.

Welcome to the forum guys. You should see your names added to the list the next time it’s updated.

Whew. For a moment I was worried my collection of nitrolon/GRP P60 hosts would make me weird.

Is it too late to get my name on that list?

Nah never too late mate, this is the never ending project with zero communication and even less progress :smiley:

Well, occasionally coming into this thread can be tricky as normally there are some few updates, here and there, and people may lose them - if they do not read the thread correctly - in the middle of the conversation and off-topic chat!

Still, there are some updates:

But I must confess, lionheart_2281, many of your posts here are not encouraging or inspiring those updates…nor the waiting time!… As others form other members here in this thread as well… :person_facepalming:
This will not help the mood of the people that - like you - want this flashlight !!

It has been said before: this is not an enterprise, people will do it when they can, and as The Miller used to “say” “It’s done when it’s done” !!! :arrow_right:

I understand getting antsy, Ive always been a bit of an instant gratification kind of person. Even for ym overseas orders ill tend to bundle a few and eat the cost of express shipping. Beats waiting 2 months to find out something is lost and being back to square one.

In regards to this project though, its definitely worth waiting for imo. Its innovative, its small, its still relevant in the market today (features, FW, build, size, emitters, power), and its a BLF project.

Hi, I’m new in the forum. I have been reading it for some time and I have decided to join finally.
I would like to be on the list for one. (This is worrying, I just ordered a D4 and I’m already wanting more)

Welcome to BLF! :+1: …
Have fun & get used to a much thinner wallet……. :money_mouth_face: … :money_mouth_face:

I propose a damn bet — what will happen earlier:

1. FW3A;
2. Manned landing on Mars…

I’m in for one warm white

Come on. How about harmless and clean nuclear fusion powerplants.

No kidding. The FW3A will arrive before the landing on Mars. Unless the latter is done by Elon Musk e.a.
Red tape at NASA is so time consuming that when the construction of the craft is competed they get a warning from Bill Gates that the installed OS is no longer supported.

You are not fair.
You are not right.
It is not humor, it is a negative opinion that can discourage others.
But now that next production is announced.

I would like to be in for one, please.
