Based on experience, muggles (i.e., kids) tend to like to click things a lot. They could very easily do 10 clicks in a row, then who knows what to the thermal setting.
Maybe this is already the case, but perhaps don’t allow users to enter configuration settings if in muggle mode. I’m guessing you already did that, but just in case…
Without the 10 clicks, it’s not so important. It seems difficult to get into thermal config by accident.
To calibrate it:
thank you kindly teacher, appreciate your help….
My FW3A arrived on Saturday, but I was away—just picked it up out of the mailbox. It wasn’t functioning right out of the box. It would not stay on. I discovered that the tail cap wasn’t fully seated (per the instructions I had inserted the battery by removing the head — hadn’t touched the tail). After tightening it, it worked initially, but would “wink out” on max. Apparently the seating wasn’t quite complete, so I loosened the tail cap then tightened it again. After that, it started working OK.
Overall, seems like a terrific light. Has that HDS form factor with superior UI. Can’t get over how it’s only a few millimeters taller than an Astrolux S43 with 18350 battery tube, while the FW3A uses an 18650. Truly remarkable. Glad I got this and thanks to the FW3A team & Neal for the wonderful Group Buy opportunity!
My pleasure… :+1:
Buy them from someone who pulls them from their light. I'm guessing they probably don't want them very much if they are pulling them. If you're in Germany maybe Lexel? Odds are at some point he'll be modding a few FW3A's for some folks . Maybe start watching some of the mod threads or start a WTB thread .
I just got my shipping notification from Neal for one 7A and one 3D. I was the 1472nd person in line for the coupon code private message, so we must be very close to the end of shipping out all the pre order lights!!
They are not being shipped out in any particular order.
Has tracking stopped for anyone else today? I get an error in Chinese, Google translate suggests “please enter verification code”
I finally figured out what that fifth pocket is for on your jeans: the FW3A. 
Yes, me too, using Flyt Express.
Given that the error message only flashes up for about 3 seconds with nowhere obvious to enter a code i get the impression it’s a site error rather than anything to do with the delivery process, but have no idea how to check this or actually track the delivery 
(It’s not showing up on RM or Yodel).
Thanks, I had a similar thought. As it’s more than just me I’m more happy that it’s a site problem. I know it’ll arrive in good time, just excited.
When it was working it brought up a code beginning with an F which worked to give the same information on 17track. Wish I’d made a note of it.
It’s handy having someone to compare notes with!
my tracking only shows this, not sure whats going on ?

Electronic shipment information received
PostNL
My FW3A arrived after precisely 2 weeks.
That means the shipper has been notified (electronically) to expect a package.
In other words, your package will be shipped soon.
I wanted to share my attempt to make a diffuser. The diffuser rests on top of the clip when extended. The diffuser can be pushed down and held in place with the clip with minimal increase to overall diameter or length.
1) Purchased glucose tablets for $1.89 from CVS drugstore (USA).
2) Removed label and sanded to roughen finish to better scatter the light
3) Sanded top to remove raised edge
I should be getting a 3D and a 7A today via DHL. I'll report on the the 7A comparing to the 3D - don't think anyone received a 7A yet.
I always wonder how these types of diffuser would look with some foil in the top (bottom?)
