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

it is a sample,they use the LEDs they are in stock
the production will use the 3D tint

Nope. A 30Q fits fine, but it will not be getting any host changes before production. Use unprotected cells only. Personally, I recommend the 35E cell, because it gives more runtime at every level except turbo, and the FW3A is not designed to operate at turbo for very long. It’s not a hot rod.

Thanks, this is good news! :slight_smile:

I have a feeling it won’t be long before someone turns it into one.

I didn’t mean to suggest the light support protected cells… I was just concerned about varying length of unprotected cells, similar to what is going on with the e07 and the 21700 cells.

If I understand correctly, the E07 issues aren’t really about the host design as much as the solder blob on the springs. Some have thicker blobs than others, which can cause battery fit issues at random. But the FW3A does not have bypassed springs, so it should be more consistent.

Put me down for 2, please!

Now THAT is a beautiful light! :heart_eyes: Thank you very much for the great pictures and info Maukka.

Put me down for one LH351D please.

Put me down for one, please.

Please add me to the list for 1.

This is super exiting, I can’t wait for mine!

I wonder about this, too – I realize it was always planned to be a lighter anodizing, but I personally prefer the darker gray, it just looks sexy ;D

Also I’d like to know how the knurling compares to the BLF A6, since the A6’s is somewhat smooth, not as sharp as some other lights I’ve held. Not like the knurling would make or break the deal for me, I’m just curious!

Thanks again to Toykeeper and everyone involved! You’re awesome.

The correct answer is BOTH because the difference in those pics is just a difference in lighting and/or camera settings. :wink:

Please add me for one.

Huh, how about that! I’d have bet money the ano color actually changed lol. I guess most of us know those brown boxes with the white foam, so comparing to those I’m expecting a somewhat lighter gray. Thanks for clarifying!

I will take one please.

please add me for another one. order #103

thanks.

Put me down for one

Yes, all versions of the light will use this frosted lens. It can be polished clear for less spill light and more throw if that’s what you want. Or simply replace the lens.

I’m on No.875 add one more for me please

Technically, I believe you will find it is the plastic ‘Optic’ that is frosted…. not the glass lens.
