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

Searching around on Google I found the below angles (not official):

The 10511 is called a narrow spot. 22°
The 10508 is called a medium spot. 27°
The 10509 is called a wide spot. 40°
All of the above are frosted.

The 10507 is the non-frosted, clear version with a narrow spot. 18°

I think it’s fair to say that the angles might vary a little based on which emitter is under them. So I would view the above angles as a loose reference guide.

Since I measured 28° (FWHM) on mine, it’s probably the 10508 in the sample.

edit: Carclo doesn’t specify the angle for the XP-L HI, but the 40° would be too wide a beam for it to come down to 28°

- you forgot to add that it needs a runtime of 8 hours at turbo, too

- and have the ability to make hot chocolate from snowdrifts

- and must be able to use the full 30K lumens in a strobe rhythm that will bring down UFO’s and send grizzlies back to the mountains bawling their eyes out

- if it could also find its way home when lost, that would cool, too

:smiley:

Nice summary, thanks TK.

Hi. I was in for one in post 1630.

I take another one. So one of each tint please.

Please put me down for two.

As I suspected, a little positive reinforcement and the orders are rolling in. :smiley:

can someone make a short video of it perhaps just too see ?

I don’t see any vias for flashing firmware in maukka’s pics, so I’m guessing we’ll have to disassemble the head for that. Is that right?

Please put me down for one with the XP-L’s.

Thanks

Interested! Please put me down for two!

Seems right. (No vias)

Yes.
Vias for flashing are a quite new concept for the BLF lights and this light is nearly two years in the making

I would like to buy one.

I would like to buy one! :+1:

I’ve actually found LEDsupply to be cheaper. They have free shipping on all orders. Even on a single optic. And it is fairly quick, ~3-4 days to my mailbox.

Thanks for the tip about LED SUPPLY nvanlaar!! Cheaper & Free Shipping seals that deal…. :+1:

@ DB Custom…. What is the advantage of the Sapphire “Window” & why is it so expensive??

I did a search for Flashlight Windows and came up with nothing. :frowning:

I did a search for Flashlight Lens and came up with Flashlightlens.com …. :slight_smile:
But unless I missed it, there was no info on a Sapphire “Window”.

Just curious about it’s advantage & high cost.

Bullet proof?

It should be highly scratch resistant, for one thing, but it is also more prone to breakage than mineral glass.
