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




agreed! Very nice! Me want! spill the beans on the process.

It looks like you were never on the list. It wasn’t clear that your first post was a signup request.

Anyway, a PM has now been sent.

A while back, I did a quick estimate of the work involved in making something like that, and decided it’s too big a project to attempt any time soon. Also, it’d probably require getting our admin to make BLF function as an identity provider, which requires server changes and SSL, which invokes other complications. The end result would be something similar to a lightweight clone of Kickstarter.

tried some GITD tape...

Where did you get this GITD tape?

(the picture looks still the same - i ordered mine 2 years ago)

From what I gather we won’t even know the wait time until May 8.

The SST-20 4000k version will be released next week.

i just found 3 pcs of Nichia 219C 5000k D320 70 CRI in my drawer - any benefit over the XP-L HI 3D ?

Any beam shots of the new emitters?

Does anyone know the output bins of the current emitters?

Got Mine last night. First impressions:
It’s a Little Screamer, alright.
The wide optic is better than I expected.
The clip ring is a few thousandths too wide.
Aww man, that switch just falls apart when the tailcap is off. I can see why they wanted to glue it.

Not really, higher current, more heat, less output, same CRI.

thanks Will!

did you watch my video? ;)

Don’t loose that little black pellet. It’s tiny and I’m sure would be super hard to find if dropped.

In case anyone missed Martin’s video… here it is again.
Great video Martin!!! :+1:

What “little black pellet” are you referring to Jason??

It’s what pushes the switch down. It’s stuck to the black rubber disc.
At the 7:20 mark in Martin’s video.

Huh. No retaining ring on the switch. Moddable? I guess you’d have to match the threads, and shorten the battery tube to keep the total length unchanged.

Maybe I should just update my order to that then. Those are emitters I’ll actually use.
