Yeah I want to check the head out anyway, possibly fit a Noctigon as these MCPCBs look a little rough.
Just found these on ebay - may be of use, just sticks right on! Comes in a variety of colours too LINK
Isn't 1cm wide a bit small for FW3A?
Glow In The Dark Gaskets?
I'm in the UK anyone know where to get them?
Found them on etsy but dont ship to UK.
I have some.
Fantastic.
How much?
2 x Green.
2 x Blue.
Thank You.
Cool, I’ll send you a message later
You know I didn’t even see the size, it just looked about right on the finger lol, but you could still use it?
CRX is your modded light for sale?
Sure!
Here's the same auction on eBay.com:
(I was looking for different sizes on eBay and AliExpress, but didn't find any.)
Thanks, I was looking for some time last night for some tritium bits, but that is the nearest thing I could find other than plain vials. Shame they don’t do different sizes…… to be honest I was trying to find disks (like thin marker dots) but with no luck.
As it goes they have some pretty funky stuff in their shop, some of that carbon material is lovely!

Nice find, thank you for that!
Grrr……. they don’t take Paypal :person_facepalming: a quick search using ‘tritium patch’ found one that does though, bit more expensive.
I also found these rectangular tritium tubes. They are quite pricey though!
Replacing the optic in the FW3A isn’t hard. Simply unscrew and remove the bezel.
There is a bezel? I’m confused, do you have any photos?

They mean the head and or retaining ring I imagine.

No mate, this is a wee keeper
CRX:I actually had to hold down the MCPCB with a toothpick and pry off the optic, never had one that stuck before.
One of mine wanted to stick, and I think it was caused by flux in places where it’s not supposed to be. So it may be a good idea to clean the MCPCB if you open it up… or at least check to see if it’s clean.
On my 7A too:
Dang, just noticed 2 tiny beads of solder in this pic as well.
