Part of the reason you don’t see it from the factory much is that it has to be done by hand, not by machine, so that adds time. It also has to be done properly which requires real technique. The average assembly worker has no time to learn nor does the company want to slow down the assembly line by doing it.
If not done properly, it can come loose and cause a short circuit and fry the battery. (Think of Haikelite MT09R bypass wires on the outside of the spring) So there are these legitimate safety concerns.
Add it all up and that’s why you don’t see it very often.
Double low resistance springs are something that is much better for a factory light and it seems it’s catching on. Especially as lights get brighter and currents get higher.
The FW3A is not meant to be a hot rod. It’s turbo is more “practical”.
I had a a slight feeling when I wrote that it would return to bite me in the arse…. :person_facepalming: …
My definition of “soon” as it relates to the FW3A. ……
…… “It will happen within 2.25 months, which is 10% of the previous 22.5 months since the FW3A was Officially announced; 4 May 2017… the day of the OP.”
That’s my story & I’m sticking to it…. . . .

Oh that’s great. I just got a d4 with the sst-20 4000k, and really enjoy it. Does anyone know why it is difficult to get ahold of the LH351D? Is it a demand issue? Just curious.
