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

Still no sign of the SST-20 version? It is almost a month now.

Could someone please link me to a colour comparison between the 3 emitters.
Cheers

1A - 3D - 7A

I already got my NW, but I too am waiting for the SST-20…

Please add this compile-time option. I prefer undelayed release-off. Thank you.

Is there a factory reset? When I got the light, it ramped to point and stopped…double tap to turbo…
Now it ramps to a blink, and continues on to turbo… It’s been out of my hands for the weekend

There should be a “blink” in the middle of the ramp. That’s the light swapping from the single channel to the multi. It stops at the top of the regulated channels and double-click engages the FET. Try it — ramp until it stops, then double-click and see if it doesn’t get brighter. I’d bet its working properly you just didn’t notice the “blip” in the ramp earlier.

Nope…. When I first got it,it ramped to a point and stopped.no blink.double for turbo.

Now I tried it like you said, and after it ramped through the blink, and hit a ceiling, double click did nothing.
Fixed the steps/ramp

Cell fully charged? Maybe it can’t supply the amperage needed for turbo?

I keep asking because the behavior you describe isn’t even programmable. Its not something you can reset (as far as I know). You’re describing a full-on malfunction. Which is possible, but not easily fixable if its happened.

Charger says 77%

That is exactly what it was. I guess first thing to do besides checking the retaining ring is to reset the temp calibration on these lights.

When unscrewing the tube, and screwing it back on, the light flickers to confirm battery contact. Single click will turn the light on to max single 7135. That’s why he didn’t notice the blink when ramping up. He ramped from blink point. The Emisar D4 does the same.

These multi quotes are confusing….

When I got the light, and started using I ramped up and down a lot. It stopped at a point I would have thought was high, then double tap to turbo…I can only say after loaning it out for the weekend, it’s behaviour has changed. I think

Q? When you first got it it worked, seemingly correctly? Now after loaning out it does not.

Sounds little like someone inadvertently got it into muggle mode. Have you tried clicking it back to normal ramp mode? I’m not home and am not sure of the number of clicks but it is in the user guide

Since we’re seeing a lot of posts about people accidentally getting into muggle mode and not knowing what’s going on, wouldn’t it be simpler if killing the power (by changing the battery or removing the head) put things back to normal?

I know this means that “muggles” could stop the muggle mode. But, let’s face it: they can do that anyway by clicking a bunch of times (6). Clicking a bunch of times is probably something they’d do more often than removing the battery.

Plus, muggles can destroy the light by unscrewing the tail, so you should probably tell them not to take it apart before loaning it to them.

Is killing the power to revert to normal operation really that dangerous?

If removing the battery reset the light that would be a PITA if one likes to use a quarter twist of the head as a lock out. You’d lose the memorized setting.

I thought it was established that that didn’t work for this light

Yes. I know . But pist 10893 proposed using a battery removal to reset. Or did I misunderstand? If I misunderstood, then forget anything I stated.
