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

This toolā€™s finish reminds me the former FW3A bead blasted by Fritz. :zipper_mouth_face:

Still like the original designā€¦

Yepā€¦ then it got all BLFā€™D-UP! :person_facepalming:

:smiley:

I wonder if they are doing an acid etch in order to get the white die on there.

I like my white D4.

:+1: +1 on the Desert Tan or Army

A smooth powder coat would be cool

To buy the copper version or notā€¦.

The copper SST20 is now up.

FW3C copper SST20 verison available to order now

FW3A Nichia 219c also available to order

Awesome. Thanks, Neal. Do you expect a TiCu version in the near future?

About to purchase copper version and get distracted by a discount on local marketplace here (Timex camper 50% off) :person_facepalming:

sure

it is in plan

Are the SST20 FA3 bin for the copper version too?

Also, are all led options for the copper body the same price, unlike the aluminum body where 219c and SST20 are ~$5 cheaper?

In addition to these questions, what version of AndĆŗril is the copper version running? Iā€™ve got one in my basket but Iā€™d like to know if I also need to get one of those clips for flashing drivers with.

Is there a discount code for the copper edition? I might buy one but then again being copper it will see no use probably lol.

Yeah, still hoping for bare aluminum at some point, with no bead blasting.

Titanium should be nice too, but itā€™s so much heavierā€¦

Nah...I'd rather go with "Miss Piggy" pink :-D

Nichia has the best CRI, but how does it compare in heat, lumens and throw, vs Cree and SST? Iā€™m assuming the hottest with the least lumens and throw?

I still canā€™t decide which version to buy (after the 3D of course), between these and the 1A or 7A.

The nichia is listed here in this chart, but itā€™s missing the sst20.
