okay i see, i actually prefer the darker eventho it wouldnt matter which hey used . its crazy how small this light is, compared to that sk68 light more or less the same size i would never guessed this light uses 18650 if i didnt know about it before.
You are the luckiest receiver of all FW3A receivers! I wish that was the X-L HI version available on the production run.
4000K is my preference, and the 219B is still one of the top two nicest tints in that temp. The 219B is extremely consistent in my experience, and all the XPL-HI 4000K Iāve used have been slightly better or just slightly worse. The HIās are really consistent for Creeās.
We asked for dark grey, though what I received is more of what Iād call a medium grey. I think it still looks good though, even though itās a bit lighter than expected.
I donāt have any 10511 optics right now, but I ordered some. So Iāve been using the two closest until then ā 10508 and 10507. Those are what I have in the pictures.
I know, right? Iām not sure if the SK-68 is as widely-known these days as it used to be, but it was a lot of peopleās first modern LED lightā¦ and the FW3A is almost exactly the same size. But the FW3A puts out about 50 times as much light, has 5X as much battery capacity, has a much nicer general-purpose beam, and has feature-rich firmware instead of just 1-mode or high-low-strobe.
Darker.
In this case, it actually makes my 219B-4000K light look slightly green. Itās quite rosy. Thatās just about right for me though.
Maybe after the initial batches are done, they could make a 5A-tint XP-L HI model. Or SST-20. Or whatever else people want. For now though, I just want to get the original project done.
There was a poll about this a while back, basically yes/no for each optional āblipā in the ramp, and I went with whichever ones had more yays than nays. IIRC, that worked out to 1x7135, 8x7135, and ramp ceiling. But in the default config, those last two are the same.
Iāve been tempted to turn off the blips entirely, and have turned them off in the builds for some other lights, but the FW3A is still configured according to the poll results.
For now, which flashlights with Anduril have that blip? and which donāt?
I think the BLF Q8 and Sofirn Q8, Emisar D4S has that blip to signify crossing-over from the fully-regulated to partly-FET-driven mode.
But I donāt think I noticed a āblipā on the Fireflies PL47 or E07.
Is that right?
TK, that button effect is simply from the circular machining marks, itās present on virtually every flat surface machined true on a lathe. Depends a lot on the feed rate but yeah, see it all the time cutting ends of bar stock on the lathe.
Per post #6622, Iād like to up my requested number of lights, but donāt see that the list has my updated info on it. If itās simply not been updated yet, please excuse my paranoia.
