Very clever! :partying_face:
Unfortunately, ‘Gate Gate’ is already taken, in reference to the (unnecessary) scrutiny of Carclo optics.

I was waiting for someone to defend Lumpytarp .
Seems like the bunny just keeps going and going and going .So happy that I got my order in for the sst-20 / 30$ light that they promised .....ooops I mean 32$ I'm assuming the 2$ is for Lumbertop to buy optics that will murder the throw gains of the sst emitters.
brilliant ...just brilliant

Huh.
Just noticed the price is higher than 30$US for the SST-20 version.
So, maybe they’ll use the Carclo+lens setup in the pre-ordered SST-20 version since the price difference is for the lens price and Carclo TIR?
Anyway, if that’s not the case, I’m not buying the FW3A anymore.
They should’ve just taken the 20% import taxes on the LH351Ds, made it the same price as the XP-L HI version, and be done with it.

LH351Ds with the floodier non-AR Glass optics would be extra floody. Practically a different light from the SST-20 + 10511 + AR Glass version.

I suppose you could get the sapphire lens available on Neal’s site, but, in my opinion, sapphire is not the best material for a flashlight lens.
I’ve been hearing that as well. Apparently due to the thin and flat surface of the sapphire crystal, it is more shatter prone than tempered glass. Are you familiar at all with Borofloat lenses

I would prefer those, but they aren’t the right size.

I believe that shatter-sensitivity of sapphire lenses is a non-issue.

I agree my watches with sapphire have a far more exposed glass and get hit almost every day. Never had a problem, in fact really glad they don’t scratch.

Are those domed or flat sapphire watch crystals?

I have both. I believe the thinnest is 2.9 mm flat, but that’s with 32mm diameter.

I believe the only negative thing about the sapphire lens is the lost output, not it’s durability.

Good, but who is “Victor”??
Can we assume “pocket color” means ‘pocket clip’?
