Quick and nice work still KB! Which 106xx optic did you use?
I received my FW3A shipment and stuck 219Bs in one of them right away. Next up is sliced dog farts (5000K LH351D). The stock XP-L HI 3D is pretty ugly (Duv 0.0035 or worse on practical levels), but it’s much nicer with sw45k
I’ll be curious to read the report on the sliced DA0GF4RTs. I’m guessing not quite as nice looking as the 219B, about the same cd/lumen, but higher max output.
Thank you so much for the quad beam, looks funky indeed.
Thermal paste is not applied evenly.
if it is possible…
Please reapply the thermal paste.

Amazing pictures and insight, thanks for uploading!
Great lights and mods, the only aspect that would irritate me personally is the rabbit
Changed the emitters in my modded FW3A again tonight. Currently it’s sporting the following:
- Two XPL HI 5D
- One XPL HI 3D
- Lee 279 minus-green filter.
- Carclo 10507 optic.
I’ll give this a shot and see how I like it.
I wonder if Manker quad lens would fit in it? Should require trimming the TIR less, so be more efficient.

+1 … Except I think the rabbit looks cool. :+1:
I have nothing against rabbits, I just prefer cats or dogs
KawiBoy1428: cabfrank:Fair enough. Still impressive skills though.
Thanks!
. Here is the Funky Square-ish Beam it produces…
Quick and nice work still KB! Which 106xx optic did you use?
621
Yeah. Are you going to change it back, or try other emitters?
Maybe just off it…… I’ll play with it all weekend then see?
KawiBoy1428:it is HERs now…the Sinner Triple Ti sits on the dresser …“the Lightning mode is amazing” should of never showed HER that….
You know what you have to do now, right?
…
Get her a matching diffuser cap, put the light in candle mode, and prepare her a nice hot bath. :innocent:
We have a candle stand(s) in the bathroom. I put it in one of the tall ones that has a metal shade with cut outs of Stars in it, it sure does look great! :+1:

You should at least try it with a 10622 before killing it off. The 10621 produces a significantly worse beam.
cabfrank:Why yuck?
Alot is cut off/out at the bezel, the beam is kinda Funky, outside on Turbo not too bad for the few seconds you can use it…. and I mean seconds…. I prefer the triple….
After seeing the optic installed in the bezel I doubt I’ll be wasting any time with the quad. I really am not a fan of tiny triples/quads anyway TBH. In my
experience, ‘real world efficacy’ would be better in the units of lux/W. 20MM Carclos don’t deliver that IMO.

That is exactly what I was thinking, the Astrolux/ Manker optic is 22mm vs the Carclo 24mm.
I cannot find any MCPCBs for it though? The optic is still available through BG I think.
It could possibly be installed without modification depending on the head threads?
Where is my light dammit!
I’m not going to make my FW3A into a quad as I have the SR4 where I used the smaller manker quad optics.
The SR4 is solid copper with a lot more mass and can barely manage the heat on full pelt.
I think a quad setup in the FW3A is pointless unless you use W1/ W2 emitters.
Optics comparison:
CRX, what is the height difference?
Manker:
Front flat to optic opening is 6.66mm, Front to legs end 8.34mm
Carclo:
Front flat to optic opening is 5.06mm, Front to legs end 7.54mm
So 0.8mm.
Maybe it would be possible to get MCPCBs from Mateminco?
0.8 mm…doesn’t seem impossible to find for someone with the skills and inclination of CRX.
This is true
I was thinking of three white flats with three individual reflectors, but keep that quiet

Why? Its not the optic.
