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

Yeah, I ordered 3 optics so I could compare all 4. One arrived the next day from Nevada and the other 2 arrived a few days later from Germany. So super fast shipping.

Well, there is a WANT list and a WHAT IS AVAILABLE NOW list. Sometimes they don’t match up and we get 1, 9 and 10. Actually it looks like 3, 9 and 10. People did vote for those lower choices, so their needs are being fulfilled, that’s good. There is nothing around 4000K yet, but overall having 3 tints available so early is impressive. Plus a 4th tint is still to come. So they are doing a good job overall. :+1:

Sorry if I am asking a question that may have been answered already (searching for “tint” is a futile attempt in this long thread :wink: )

Which one is the fourth tint and has that one been confirmed or something? Will there be many more variants of this lights going forward? Read OP/post 1 and there were only 3 LED options listed.

Thanks!

As I understand it the current options are XP-L Hi 3D, 7A & 1A. The SST-20 4000k is also planned but with no date yet. Nothing other than these have been confirmed.

Yeah. I think Neal is probably sick of me sending the poll data to him. I’ve sent it like 20 times in various forms. Personally I find the heat map version easiest to read:

All data from both polls (with no attempt to match up usernames between polls):

Same thing, but after removing all votes where XP-L HI was the first choice:

… and one which kinda shows both, because I matched up usernames to provide more emitter-specific preference info:

If it makes you feel any better, I was the first person to order and it still says my order is unfulfilled.

I ordered one light before sending out the notifications, so I could document the ordering process and verify the shop actually works. Didn’t want to send notifications without making sure it works first. But I don’t expect Neal to prioritize my order since I already have one.

Definitely like the “Heat Map”. I think your use of them was the first time I had seen them.

Yeah, I’d like to buy a reasonably priced glow gasket. Not for $25 tho’.

True, the making process of the FW3A have been so fast that nobody has had time to plan options better matching the want list. :innocent:

LED Supply also has them. I don’t remember their shipping prices, but I seem to recall them being good, or else having a low minimum to get free shipping.

Your light needs to go back to the future. July 29, 2017 was a rather dull time for the FW3a.

I think this should work for FW3A and Noctigon triple boards
can be simple 1 brightness resistor and color balancing for more than one color
Pro works with Anduril High/low

or LDO with LPV chip fully equipped
Shuts down at about 3.2V cell voltage
LEDs are always stay at same brightness and differend colors balanced

Amazing!!! I’ll take 3 please

Put that greyed out number in USPS tracking.

Agreed with the above, looks amazing. I’ll need four.

Strange this whole Yodel thing…… on Neal’s site it says Royal Mail, and from reading through it seems all UK orders say that, yet it is coming through Yodel - all JJ numbers are. I don’t know whether Neal intended it to be RM and it has oddly gone through Yodel, or it’s just a mis communication, but for sure if Yodel are involved you sadly almost expect trouble, they are the worst in the UK bar none. They are cheap for a reason.
CRX said about 80% and that’s not far out! My mate actually took them to the small claims court for losing his parcel - they said he should have paid insurance, he argued successfully he paid them to deliver it, not lose it.
They didn’t even put up a defence in court, but it took all that to get his money back. I can tell you now not many, if any would do that - I was kinda proud of him lol!

I know, right? It’s really too bad these things didn’t take longer. :wink:

Good news, it looks like Yodel have found my light! It’s on the move now and should be delivered Friday according to the tracking.

I just got mine from DHL… MAN THESE THINGS ARE GORGEOUS!!! :heart_eyes: I really enjoy the feel of the anodizing and knurling. The tail switch is really nice as well. I like the metal button!

I kinda wish there was some type of a “BLF Edition” on it, but please don’t read that as a complaint :slight_smile:

I think one of my favorite “features” is the UI. Feature rich if you want to use them, super smooth ramping and simple UI for day-to-day use.

Huge thank you to ToyKeeper for making a fantastic UI for this great light :+1:

I got free shipping on a handful of optics that were only a buck and a half a piece. It was fast and they emailed me the day before it was scheduled to be delivered to remind me to look out for the package. I was impressed.

I’m glad they may be coming through yodel because when I got my 2 blf GT’s they went through DHL & for 1 of them with battery’s they tried to bill me later for duty payments & I told them where to go :wink: .
