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

Bottom line for me is that even after nearly 2 years of waiting, this light should perform like few others. Being small, powerful, with a top notch UI and a tailswitch all for something in the $30 range makes it a winner for me.

Next up, Lumintop announces FW3A for $99.99…. :smiley:

That would be about in line with the GT initial group buy price versus full retail.

That’s with the BLF code…. $89.99 for everybody else… :beer:

I’m in for one!

One please

Someone got banned, but not because of commenting about these issues.

Agreed.

Each person has their own reasons to buy or not buy items like this, and that’s fine. There is no such thing as a wrong reason for that decision… because it’s a flashlight. So it’s generally best not to get too worked up about it. In the grand scheme of things it is, as someone recently said, small potatoes. And when someone raves or rants about small potatoes, people give them funny looks.

Granted, many of us probably get funny looks already, for being small potato enthusiasts. But still.

I’m’a go finish my leftover potatoes.

Followed a few months later by “Lumintop announces 70% reduction in the price of the FW2A - now only $29.99!”

+1…… have a :beer: with them taters!

Tally-ho is in no danger of getting banned for the last few posts. People are free to disagree here, as long as it is civil.

RIP “Sharpie 2.0”, and RIP my lame joke attempt.

I just assumed most people noticed when the almost constant crapping on the FW3A project stopped earlier this month. But I guess I came across a little too literal with Tally-ho.

Fair enough. I get you. Sometimes it can be a little hard to decipher intent online, but it certainly makes complete sense now. I just wanted to make sure Tally-ho knows that there is a long leash here, and that civilly posted disagreement is always allowed.

It’s almost like you guys take this flashlight stuff seriously.

I would like one

Maybe small patatoes but a few manufacturers understood that sometimes, listening small potatoes is good for business.
For recent examples : FireFlies decide to make and sell the stainless steel tail cap as an option (5:money_mouth_face:. They also modified the E07 head prototype when a deeper fined head was suggested, E07 chamfered fins, etc.

It would not be that difficult to make an alternative external battery tube for the FW3A with it’s original design : same lengh, different profil (thickness reduction on both side at 90° angle with a little chamfer on top off it).
Some people are not using pocket clip, or only as an anti-roll feature. No need for the Nitecore big slope chamfer in this case.

There are many online stores offering various options to select before ordering, it’s not a big deal, and we do like options.

I don’t want to force anyone, but maybe someone from the BLF team could suggest this type of option for a future FW3A-raw-material-with-machining-marks…I would be thankful, but not upset if it never happened as it is not a matter of life and death, just aesthetic, but aesthetic does matter even for tools.

Looks great, please add me to the list! Thanks

Please add me to the list.

“What we hope for”, but without the hole in the end. :beer:

Didn’t want to hope for too much :smiley:
