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
Great shots. They make me miss the snow, for a minute.
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!
Thanks folks, I remember reading the original specs quite some time ago, but canāt remember the specifics now. Unfortunately, I didnāt realise at the time there was a link to the specific carclo optic used, and Iām nowhere near technically proficient enough to know this stuff offhand. Thanks for the help.
As someone else mentioned, Iād be keen to buy a spare clear optic if this became an option. It does sound though from what Toykeeper, Jason and everyone is saying the original optic is the way to go.
1. The Zebralight would still be more efficient than buck/boost driver. LED efficiency would be better than a single 3V emitter light, but driver efficiency will not be as good.
2. It should be higher since itās using a 1+7+FET driver, instead of 3+FET.
Looks like Iowa. Thank you.
Wow chadvone, looks like your in the middle of a āDeep Freezeāā¦ Your whole state is below 0Ā° for the whole day todayā¦. :person_facepalming: ā¦ I imagine you are well aware of that tidbit of info though.
.
It is much warmer in most of Alaska than Iowa, as well as most of the Midwest USA today.
Turn those lights to TURBO & keep those hands warmā¦.
Good luck & hope the pipes donāt freeze & burst.
Edit:ā¦ā¦ ābelow 0Ā° ā = Below Zero Degrees Fahrenheit ( 0Ā° F ). As in ā18, ā11, ā9, ā17, and so on for their High temps today. Lows tonight will be in the negative (-) 20ās & 30ās F. .
It hurts me even thinking about thatā¦. :person_facepalming:
^ Thanks teacher.
I really love the Eagle Eye X6 flashlight, have far too many of themā¦ all in different configurations. I priced an AR coated Sapphire āWindowā in 35mm at $195 each. Having a āwindowā could indeed drive the price WAY up!
