As a general guideline, if one gets the urge to answer someone’s question with RTFM or similar, it may be best to cancel the reply and let someone else respond.
I got my first rude point for telling someone to read the fine manual instead of actually answering their question… and the point was deserved!
So you just got your FW3A & you don’t know much about it and/or it’s not working exactly right.
GO HERE , read the first few posts, do what it says, and you’ll probably learn a few things as well solve any issues in the process…. if there are any issues that is.
If the above does not correct things for you… TRY HERE.
Oh yeah… a User Manual also comes in the box with the FW3A. Read it….
yea, I read the bit about tightening everything, I swear I did. I had a devil of a time loosening the tail when I finally decided to (after reading all the warnings about inserting the battery from the head, don’t open the tail unless you have to), but after I did and re-assembled it, as I said, it worked fine.
Okay, switch design aside, anyone have any ideas about why one of my lights works perfectly and the other doesn’t? And before anyone asks, yes I read the F’n Manual. Thanks.
It looks like a lot of problems can be solved with checking tightness of the various components (i think the driving retaining ring being loose is a culprit), as well as cleaning contacts and making sure there isn’t oil on them.
What’s the one not working right actually doing when you try to use it?
Oh that’s exciting! I wonder if they’re using TK’s 219C tuned firmware, the one that limits total output at like 50% to protect the emitters.
Also which emitter?? 4000k, 5000k, 80CRI, 90+CRI so many variables! I mean I’m totally ordering one but that’s besides the point.
I checked Neal’s site before leaving work today. That must have been added within the last few hours. Hopefully we can get a little more detail than just 219C.
I’m definitely waiting for more info, but I am fond of the 219 series.
I’d also like to see them put out a Dogfarts version. Don’t get me wrong, I totally want to see a SST-20 version and a 5D version.
Can I just have everything?
