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

I’d like to buy one! Hope I’m not too late.

High capacity, medium drain batteries like Sanyo 18650GA, Samsung 35E, or LG MJ1 should work well.

Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6 wil trade a little bit of capacity for slightly higher peak output.

maybe i missed it, but are there any beam shots?

or discussion of the pattern, in words>?

thx

Wait.. If I used this light as a candle, then that's more use than 100+ of my lights currently get now. I think I need to order another in 7A

This is a nice option: http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_134&product_id=965

I got this triple 2700K XPL HI in a nice EDC (SWM C20C), and really like it: http://www.mtnelectronics.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_132&product_id=935. Its quite unique because I usually don't go this warm.

My wife had been known to buy $20 candles that are dimmer and not even rechargeable. $36 dollars for a candle with all the features of the FW3A is a steal.

I would like to order one in XP-L HI

Ordered 3x 3D
1x 7A
Thanks

Ahhh, sorry. Must of got mixed up, I remember a previous thread way back where someone said they like the cooler tints. Remember thinking at the time - wow, thought I was all alone! : )

Maybe it was JasonWW, sorry!

I’m good with 5000K as long as it’s rosy and not greenish. There are certain Nichia 219 and 319 in 5000K which I find pretty nice. I’m hoping the 3D xpl-hi here is going to be nice as well.

Most 5700K are nice looking to me. Unfortunately, most lights don’t have that option. Sofirn usually does.

I’ve tried 4000K high CRI, but it’s too yellow for me.

Just for the record. :smiley:

Ordered, thanks to all involved for your hard work.

For a submersible candle.

I’m in for one, if its not too late!

XP-L HI triples with Carclo 105xx series optics have been a thing for a while. This is the 10511, which is a frosted optic that’s smoother and a little more floody than the most popular 10507, but you can trivially swap in a 10507 or any of the others if you want. Arrow sells 10507s with free overnight shipping (yes, really, even if you only buy one $1.76 optic - no, there’s not a catch).

I don’t have a link to beamshots, but I’m sure you can find some on BLF. The beam of this light will look exactly like any other light using the same emitters and optic.

I would like to be added to the list for 1 please

So, I don’t really have a use for this as a “normal” flashlight, but I ordered one in a 7A tint for the specific purpose of using it as a night light. I’m not sure I’m into “candle mode”, but I’ll see what it’s like. “Sunset mode” seems more useful for my purpose, IMO.

Anyway, does anyone have a link to a diffuser that will fit this light, so it can sit on a table and look like a mini-lantern?

Add me for 1 please?

If not too late, please add me in for 1x
XPL-HI and 1x SST-20 version

Google is your friend (emitters unknow though)
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

If it’s not to late add me on the list for 2 please!!!

Update for people wondering when their number will be up… I’m #1048 on the new list and received PM just over 30 minutes ago.
