Yes. Kaidomain states in their listing they are FB4, J4.
Intl-Outdoor states theirs are FB4, J5, and these are presumably the same that ship in Emisar lights.
The J5 output bin is suspected to tend to be slightly more green even within the same tint bin than the J4, so if you like your Emisars, then a light with J4’s should look as good or very slightly better.
You did good setting that up TK……
that’s just what you and folks that want to contribute needed……
I really like the …… “you should probably just hire me” tier ……
but will probably be on the “pay as you go” plan.
For anyone interested in modding their FW3A with Nichia 219B emitters, I added a new build target for that purpose. It’s the same as normal, except the FET modes are limited to 50% power even on turbo. This should help prevent damage to the emitters.
TK, you definitely deserve compensation for all your work. On the other hand, unless I am mistaken, the owl already determined it takes three licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
Is it possible to limit the output depending on battery current?
On High current, limit it to 50%, at half or empty cell give full power. But this will be hard because of the battery-drop down on high currents.
Perhaps using different ramping tables for the fet-chanel and decide whether to use at battery-check or after hardware-lockout (losening the battery-tube).
I, for one, prefer the black clip.
I’m still looking for a good method for blackening my knives clips.
I don’t like chrome clips, but I don’t like paint either of course.
The Olight clips have been black for a while now, and they never chipped a single flake… I think it’s a heat treatment,I don’t know.
Anyway, I love the FW3A black clip !
I like the black as well-
I think the treatment is black oxide, or “blueing” a controlled corrosion process I’m not entirely aware of the chemistry and process though.
I would be great IMO if these clips are black oxide rather than paint.
If the clips are stainless than the treatment is black passivization - even better.
Lately I’ve noticed a new trend, and I’m not certain if/how long it’s going to last:
every time I see a new picture of the FW3A, it is even more beautifull than before.
TKs photos of the clip looks an awful lot like Oveready’s TiAlN coated “black nitride” clips, which is a very good thing. If they’re anything like that, the coating is really strong stuff. I’ve only managed to scratch one of mine, and I had to use a dremel and a bit of clumsiness to accomplish it. Those clips cost almost as much as this entire light though, so that would be a stretch I suppose. I imagine its not a cheap coating.
