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

Luckily, mine came with Carclo lens.

The SC64w HI has a higher moonlight than Zebralight older 18650 lights (the AA and CR123 still have extremely low moonlights). But the FW3A surprised me and is more pleasant, because it’s warmer and floodier, being gentle on the night adapted eyes.

Today I received the version 7A.
I’ve had a few FW3A but this one has the worst switch - it is quieter, too soft and can not be press it on the edge :person_facepalming:

Has someone done the comparison between the first batch and the current light? Maybe there was a change in rubber, or how the switch operates?

“Nubbin” was too short, I made a new one and now it’s great :slight_smile:

@ Anyone with Free Shipping to USA

What tracking site do you use to track a shipment w/ free shipping from Neal to the USA.

I can’t get ‘Package Radar’ or ‘17Track’ to work.

Try that site, though my tracking number provided from Neal does work on 17track.

speaking of shipping, any idea when the copper ones will be shipping?

Try https://postal.ninja - mine took a while to pop up from the “sent” email to the first item appearing.

Best thing about that site is that if you make an account, you can have a bunch of packages in there and it’ll refresh the status every 11 or 12 hours.

Don’t know about about USA, but have some experience about the same issue and NL.
I use 17Track and that works fine for me. It even follows parcels through the dungeons of PostNL.
17Track is absolutely NOT fast. Things can be quiet for almost a week before any progress is visible.
The same goes for the time that goes by before the parcel becomes visible in the system.
I wonder if the updates are fed in batches into the system, and not real-time per parcel. But I trust it.

Thanks hoabegrubn, the link worked. It started when it hit the USA yesterday. It left New Jersey today headed south toward Alabama. :beer:

Strange, but the same number Neal provided is not even recognized by 17Track. Beats me why yours would work & mine not work?? :person_facepalming:

But at least I know it is getting closer. :wink: … :+1:

@ oweban …. Thanks my friend, Postal Ninja at least recognized the number but gave no information besides when it was actually picked up.

@ Henk4U2 …. Thank you, but 17Track would not even recognize the number. Strange, because it will recognize hoabegrubn’s number from Neal.

I think this is the first time 17Track has not worked for me. :cry: … :wink::slight_smile:

yea i have no clue why yours doesn’t work with 17Track. But at least with the DHL site it gives you the more important details - the USPS tracking number to follow up on when it gets handed off between DHL and USPS

it will work in 17 if you choose DHL eCommerce but the auto carrier thing doesn’t recognize it sometimes I guess

It gave me many choices… but DHL or DHL eCommerce was not one of them. I looked three times in fact. :person_facepalming:

17Track does not “recognize” the number & no choices of any DHL. I find it all very strange this go around. :smiley:

But, as was said above; at least I know it is getting closer. . :+1:

Me either, it’s a mystery to me. But your right about the “important details”… that is all I really care about anyway. :wink: . :+1:

Disassemble and reassemble the switch completely. Try swapping the direction of the plastic nubbin.

I’m still waiting to hear back from Neal on the other code not working for the GB discount, and the one that was sent with wrong tint. (sent him a message vial email last week.

I took current measurements, but not on FET-max. I had to press down on the inner tube to get it to make good contact, then bridge it to the outer tube or battery to trigger a button press.

Try a PM here on BLF & see if you have better results.
I hope you do. :+1:
