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

Looks great!

It really does. I don’t know if this has already been asked, but is the clip reversible?

No it’s not

The FW3A is impressive indeed!! :+1:

Thanks. Too bad, but not a huge deal.

I don’t know if it still matters at this stage, but put me down for another one. This brings me to a total of 2 FW3A (one of each tint).

Really excited, can’t wait for it to launch!

@ Spiderlight… Jason is correct. Just be sure you have email notification for PM’s activated. Then you will get an email notification when you receive a PM. :+1:

I’m #1619 on the list, and I’d like to increase my allocation from one unit to two, please - one of each emitter.

I know, I know….but resistance is futile. :person_facepalming:

I was also hoping this was the case so it would clip on a cap.
Can the clip be modded to fit? What are the o.d. thread measurements of the front and rear?
Are there other clips that might fit?

Since it is so beautifully small, I was hoping to be able to clip it to a cap also, but apparently it won’t work with this one.

Don’t give up just yet, I know some of the fw3a team were pushing lumintop to not glue anything, including the tail cap, which would mean it would come apart…

Lumintop has said they’ll be gluing it but hopefully the pushback will prevent that. We’ll learn what they did when the lights arrive.

So are you saying if it isn’t glued the clip would be reversible?

It looks as though the front/rear thread o.d. is the probably the same, but if they did glue the tailcap that would permanently secure the clip and it could not be removed even if the user did not want it? I’d rather have the option to carry it in my pocket w/o the clip or be able to reverse it for a cap.

Have we a thread about how to do DIY clips?

Clip dimensions from FW3A Proto 1:
Inner diameter: 23.1 mm
Outer diameter: 26.1 mm
Material: 0.8 mm
Length from bend inside to contact tube: 42.5 mm

I would like a back and forth clip, like on newer olights. It can’t be so hard to bend one

I’d like to get in line for one of these, with the XPL Hi emitters and clear 10507 lense.

I really like my D4, but am unlikely to ever learn to flash it with Anduril, so buying this seems like a good alternative.

It will only come with the frosted optic, but if you want to buy a clear one, they are cheap, and easy to replace.

Will I be able to order the clear lense at the same time as the light? It would be quite a waste to pay $5 for shipping a $1 part separately.

Buy the clear and other lenses from MTN Electronics. His shipping for a small part like that will be less than $5, his shipping prices are very honest. Pick up some extra batteries while you are at it.

You will have to buy the optic separately. MTN is one place, and there is another mentioned earlier in this thread. I think it might be LED Supply. It is a few pages ago.
