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

QFT

I’m a tint and CRI snob too, but the human eye and brain are pretty good at adapting to just about anything. The longer a period I use a rosy light, the less rosy it appears and the same is true for greenish ones. Ambient light has a HUGE effect on how I perceive the duv and color temp of any lights too.

I understand… :+1: . But actualIy I’m not that “naive”… I’m just not paranoid to the point that I think there is a ‘bad guy’ waiting behind every bush to get me. They are actually only behind a few.
The key is knowing which one’s…… :wink:

Interested, albeit probably a year or two late… :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s the maximum regulated output from the driver? I guess it’s FET driver?

Fet+7+1

That’s my point, just because it doesn’t seem to effect you doesn’t mean those of us who do have issues with it are just white wall hunting.

While I do use higher brightness levels in urban areas, they are still relatively low.

Thanks Scallywag. My first Anduril light is still on its way. Can you confirm if Anduril indicates with a blip in the ramp when it goes from regulated to hybrid mode, like the Emisar D4 UI?

lol

+10,000 . We never mentioned “get incredibly annoyed by green” either…Personally, I just Do Not like green… that is all. Period.

And as Eraursls1984 mentioned, it has nothing at all to do with the silly, tired, overused, & greatly exaggerated term… “White Wall Hunting”.

If a ‘greenish tint’ Does Not bother some of us…. wonderful.

But neither group need tell the other it’s raining when it is actually something else running down their back. :face_with_monocle:

Guys sorry, sign me out. Circumstances…

Gotta chime in, if 4000k SST20 is too green for you (it was for me), you might be satisfied with 3500k SST20 from Mouser. Still 95CRI, still a hint of green, but pleasantly disappears when there is no other lights to compare to.

When people said 4000k was hint of green, IMO it was awful and I would guess has an awful R9 value, there is just no red, not even yellow. The 3500k is much closer to what people describe as a hint of green, it is pure white but held up next to an incan you think “ahh there is a hint of green”.

Actually the 4000K has an excellent R9 value.

You can really see it when you shine 4000K SST20 on anything red. The red really pops. Much more so than any CREE led found in flashlights.

Bottom line is red looks absolutely great with the 4000K SST20. The problem is all the whites look a bit greenish.

I agree

I want to sign up for one as well

Who could this be?

IF it ever comes into fruition.
I’ll have one in SST 20. and if they do one in Nichia 291B.
I’ll have one there too.

I think I did put my name down in the beginning but that was yrs ago
feels like.
It’s a bloody loong wait for a little “Very nice” looking torch.

NOT interested in Throw or spread, just want a nice little, “in pocket” torch
with pleasant Natural looking 291B colour.

@Macka17…… Yep, good memory; you were down for one already. :+1:

From post #4….

1 MRsDNF: 85
1 Macka17: 675
1 MagPap: 692

I’d like a SST20 if/when.

Does this get me on the list LOL

Recommended batteries?
OP says short and unprotected…Samsung 30Q? 18.3 mm diameter may be tight?
If the answer is emitter dependent, am most interest in getting both with XP-L HI 3D.
Also, will the FW3A have a low voltage protection circuit?
Sorry, in advance if this was already addressed.
