It wonātā¦ 
ā¦ Nothing ever changed in reality. 
Lens, as in; my FW3A will have an AR coated lens.
Window, as in; my house & car both have windows.
Optic, as in; my FW3A will have a Carlco 10511 optic.
Anyone have a photo or video comparison of the 2 emitters being used? Would be nice to compare side by side.
Is it too early to say, āoooohhh imagine how nice a FW3A in 26650 format with a quad would beā¦.ā
Yup, so early as to say āhow nice it is in the 18350 formatā
When itās ready, how do we purchase this? Aliexpress?
Hoping someone post some beam shots before I decide :+1:
Iām down for 1 XP-L
ToyKeeper, I would like to donate a small gift to show my appreciation. Where do I send it? Thanks.
Interested - please add me to the list
No i think through Neal again, gt mini worked so atleast. ali is never used for group buys here.
Nice pictures Maukka.
It looks cold where you are. 
Looks like Iowa. Thank you.
Great shots. They make me miss the snow, for a minute.
I am interested in the xpl-hi version. Is someone able to add me? Thanks.
Maukka! Very nice beam shots and comparison! Itās really cool to open both pictures and click back and forth in full screen to compareā¦.so cool to watch the minute differences in shadows etc. Looks as though the D4 beam is ever so slightly wider, which makes senseā¦but not much wider. Unless the angle of the lights was just a touch different when pics were taken (can see shadow of small twig on lower right in foreground move up and back just a bitā¦like the D4 was just an inch or 2 more forward than the FWā¦.but againā¦probably just the wider beam of the D4).
Iām babblingā¦sorryā¦againā¦THANK YOU! Very nice shots and comparison.
I was joking lol, based on the discussion on what to call the Carclo and the glass pane in front of itā¦ it was always planned to have a triple Carclo TIR optic and a glass window/lens in front for protection. So no, none of this discussion would drive the price up
Snow is proof that where you are is too darn cold! 
That is a very good way to put it. Been there, done that.
Iām getting really hyped for this now! I have a couple of questions about the FW3A that Iām curious to know answers to. If anybody can chip in with their wisdom, it would be much appreciated!
1) If we were to compare the FW3A to a similarly sized flashlight known for efficiency, such as the Zebralight SC64, would the FW3A be roughly as efficient? One of the main reasons Iām hyped is because of the higher regulation on the FW3A vs an Emisar D4, but Iām not very well versed in how it all works so Iām trying to gauge efficiency by using examples of well known flashlight models in the community.
2) In ToyKeeperās Emisar D4 review, she listed all of the ramping steps. These seem to be the same on the Emisar D4S and I was able to use them to configure my D4Sā stepped levels very specifically. Will these steps also be the same on the FW3A, as it is running Anduril? Iād like to be able to set my ramp ceiling right at the highest regulated mode for efficiency, and it is nice to know where that is exactly.
Many thanks to everyone on the FW3A team. What a fantastic device you have conceived!
