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

Is this a real thing? I would love for this to be true…

Clemence has indicated he has plans to maken a E21A triple board:

I don’t think the E21A is well suited for a FET driver, but it could be an option to remove the FET from the driver, and you’d still have a nice 2.8A, floody, pocketable light with excellent tint and Anduril UI. The ramp would top out after about 2.2 seconds instead of 2.5 seconds.

Ah, sounds good. I’ve a Q8 with the sst20’s I quite like, and to me and to most people I’ve talked to, they are a bit yellow at lower currents, and very nice at higher. Not green in the opinion of most people, (though TK says lemongrass). For 4000k being above the BBL means being yellow. I’m pretty okay with them, although I might like the extra output of the lh351d, so I’ll probably just get these instead of waiting and let the D4 be the one to be super high output. They should be comparable throw, while being high cri - a perfect option for those who were on the fence, and who won’t mind the tint. I’d still like 219b in one though.

I’m glad the optics are on the way. It seems we are one step closer. Will there be final prototypes sent out for review before production? Beating the dead horse, I will say again, it could save a lot of problems in the long run.

The FET can be disabled in firmware without having to modify the driver.

No longer need my reservation, #1972. Picked up a used SC64W recently so been using that.

Is E21A board going to 3 x single E21A or 3 x quads ?

So you don’t consider flashing new firmware modifying a driver?

No more than I consider installing a new operating system modifying a computer.

Based on his naming convention, VR20SP3 will be Virence 20mm Serial/Parallel 3 emitter. SO 3 single LEDs is my understanding.

I would appreciate being added to the list! Thank you!

If people want to do this, I’d recommend flashing new firmware instead of physically modifying the driver. It won’t be difficult to make a 2-channel version for this purpose.


jealous too, I’m out of them :frowning:

I’m in for 1, whatever emitter option is first available is fine by me as I’ll just swap to my preference anyway.

lol my only gripe comes with the exciting news of potential production within the next month or two…

OFCOURSE this project HAD to finally come to completion just as the D18, MF01S, MF01 mini and MS18 all drop….

I’m over the moon… my wallet is looking for new ownership

Put me down for 2 If it isn’t too late.

Oh, pourquoi pas?

Put my down for one more, a total of three?

can you put me down for another one, going to get the wifey one. Total of 2 for me please.

Not sure if this thread will be used to order by emitter choice or by number requested, but I would definitely like 1 more to be added to my name for a total of 2 with SST-20 as the emitters.

LOL, you haven’t been around here long huh?
