April 8th, 3:41pm FW3A update:
Barring any unforeseen circumstance, this week, 2 samples will be sent to 2 members here in BLF and one sample to a member in TLF.
The final approval from the three persons will pave the way for the light’s mass-production.
As usual, in the meantime,

Oh my…
It teases me to get two or three but my significant half wouldn’t be happy with it :person_facepalming:

My term for the design of the FW3A is:

Bob likes his dedomed LH351
I’ve done…. maybe 30? A couple dozen for customers, but also a handful of my own personal lights. I have one completely dead light and one that misbehaves, but my success rate has generally been quite high. I’m also using a much more gentle reflow method I’m really happy with now. No takers on the dedomed LH351D yet, but I rather like the one I built for myself. A significant improvement on the regular LE since the tint is awesome on every level, not just turbo. I also recently built a 219B Zebr…
I really hope for that LED.

It looks great!
I wonder if this thread will escape any drama over the pocket clip color being changed unannounced. :innocent:

I'm happy that it has a pocket clip, and that it's a very secure design for the pocket clip. I had to get rid of my clip-on S2+ clips because they tended to go flying. My D4 pocket clip is great, though.
How is the D4S pocket clip?

Pocket clip color change??
1. I don’t see a change, what is it?
2. Who cares anyway, as long as it isn’t pink.

The new pocket clip seems to be black.
Compared to the previous prototypes :
While I generally like black, painted clips chip over time and look bad. I’ll come out against this, but buy the same number regardless of the finish on the clip.

Yeah, I don’t like the black clip either, but I don’t care as long as I can get rid of the paint with some acetone.

Rusty black, to be more precise.
