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.
here is a video that show how to assembly the FW3A tailcap
I think for the main production run (not the BLF group buy), they should probably ship these with glued cap by default, but with an option for an unglued cap.
Got mine delivered exactly on 05/04/19. 
It is part of the “black rubber disc”, not a seperate piece. You can’t “loose it” without loosing the whole thing.
This is nothing new, we have known this for months. No retaining ring needed.
Excellent video Neal!! :+1:
“Assembly” is truly very simple & straight forward. Thanks for sharing.
I’m afraid you’re mistaken. Or maybe your light is different from mine. There is a small black pellet that is held in place by the rubber disc. I’ll post a picture of it later today.
As it turns out, you’re both right.
The rubber piece has a hard plastic piece glued in place right in the middle. It should behave as one piece, normally… but if the glue gets unstuck, it can come out. If this happens, it’d probably be a good idea to glue it in place again.
Your right Jason, I was indeed mistaken!!
Mine had just stayed together on previous disassemblies. I just now checked & it is indeed 2 seperate pieces… just like you said. :+1:
A tiny dab of glue will take care of this….
