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

Don’t worry, you will not be ripped off.

Helios, in order to penetrate smoke or dust the beam is going to have to be tight, as with fog a broad floody beam will merely make a wall in front of the viewer. The triple Carclo optics are going to make more of a wall than they will allow for any kind of real penetration, a different kind of light will be needed in that instance. In heavy dust or smoke, you’re just not going to see into it more than a short distance with anything less than an intense beam and that will in itself be limiting in the small hot spot. It’s a tough scenario to break through.

If it’s not too late, put me on the list for one light.

I have to say that I am really thankful and so impressed by the work and time input of so many here on BLF - on this project but so many others as well. My old account has probably been purged by now and I’ll be darned if I can remember what it was anyway, so I had to make a new one…have been lurking off and on for several years, learning and appreciating the fantastic content. TK, Fritz, Tom, Neal, everyone involved in this light for the last couple years, big thanks to you for everything you all contributed - this really does look like a winner. I have some LH351 5K 90CRI on the way from digikey and will probably put those into this light but even with “just” the XPL HI this package has so much going for it. Can’t wait to get it. Still getting to know my FT03 so something to pass the time until then. :slight_smile:

True, but the same light and emitter class with CW vs WW for penetration - while on a clear night CW will throw more, will CE get more caught up on particles in the air? Suppose there’s only one way to find out, really :wink:

For those who need an update, just passed 1187.

I’m interested in one.

Ok, I’m back in for 1 unit.

When the SST-20 comes out, I’m going to buy it.

Purchased one submersible candle / golden lightning generator. Thanks to all on this forum. Especially to Toykeeper - an articulate genius.

I would like to respectfully request two please. One for XP-L and one for SST-20 which will be a separate purchase if I understand correctly.
Thank you!

Today I received the code but I will wait until there are LH351D and SST-20 to buy them together, in a single order.

Cute… I like that. :smiley: :smiley: :+1: …. That is special. :wink:
When you posted THIS comment, calculating your personal PM delivery time with incorrect “variables”…. :person_facepalming: . I simply posted THIS, correcting your faulty assumptions so you would get a much more correct & harmonious outcome when you redid your calculations.

If this somehow offended you or hurt your feelings…. my apology.

:person_facepalming:

Not at all. Precision is generally a good thing.

Just an exercise that moved the needle of delivery … pretty much zero.

I’d love to grab two when available

Whatever…. I certainly did not mean to get you all bent out of shape simply trying to be helpful. Again… my apology. Enjoy your FW3A. :beer:

I’d like the code to order if it isn’t too late. Thanks.

I would like to be able to order one if it isn’t too late. I’ve been collecting BLF lights and I’d love to add this to the collection. Thanks to you guys for all you do.
