Iām looking for a dark grey light, so please add me to the list for one.
Definetily interested for one, please.
Thanks all for the answers to my questions.
Love the fact that its a 3 channel light for better efficiency and regulation.
Looking forward to see the final version come to life.
Well, instead of waiting around or moaning about the FW3A's production I had to get creative and make my own version ;)CRX SR4-T
Copper, Brass & Titanium construction
Quad Nichia 219C 5000K emitters
20mm Copper DTP MCPCB
20mm x 7mm solid copper heatsink
22mm x 2mm dual coated ARC glass
Emisar D4v2 ramping driver
Copper & glass tritium momentary tail switch
Lockout-able
Magnetic cell contacts
56, 2mm x 2mm magnets in tail
18650 cell compatible
Length ā 97mm
Width ā 25mm
Weight ā 185g (with 18650 cell)
I could have shaved another few millimetres off the length of the light but wanted a decently thick copper heatsink, magnetic tail and tritium vial in the momemtary switch button, still managed to keep it below 100mm.
This is cruel CRX
You could start mass production, the model is functional, the tint is good and it has the looks we need
Nobody would want to pay the price though
Funny thing is, this one only took me a day to make.
Took him a day to make. I donāt think heās completely human. :laughing:
CRX, beautiful! Do you ever sell your lights? How much would this one go for?
I want one! +1
Oh no, I think heās onto me
This oneās a keeper, I never know how to price these things, by the hour + materials?
My time varies between Ā£30-Ā£50 an hr for work so if I said Ā£30 x 12 = Ā£360 + Ā£40 + a niche skill set & unqiue item?ā¦.
I canāt speak for CRX, but it would have to be expensive, both parts and labor wise.
Beautiful!
Edit: beat me to the post.
Would like to purchase when available.
Thatās really nice. It may even be closer to the original spirit of the FW3A than the real thing. Iām curious thoughā¦ did you flash the driver or use it stock? There are builds of Anduril for that driver if you want one.
Thanks. I used what I had on hand - a stock Emisar D4 driver with the switchwire connected to a brass ring sitting on the spring side, insulated of course.
Interested in 1. Thanks.
We were hoping youād do it pro bono. You knowā¦ā¦for BLF membersā¦ā¦.in your spare time. :smiling_imp:

No clue how I overlooked the FW3A being a 3 channel, 1+7+FET driver. That just sweetens the deal.
Deep from the abyss, now comes this photo of the FW3A with the Emisar in the center.
Note: Itās not the final ātintā of the anodisation yet, still in āHostā form (more greenish than grey), but at least youāll believe this project is on track and itās coming our way sooner than later:
Edit: The photo might not be a final representation of what will become the production version.
Itās more for the purpose of showing that this project is very-much alive and hopefully bring hope to those fellow members who are losing enthusiasm because of the looong wait.
What are the extra ribs cut in it under the head?
Are the ends not screwed down?
