FW3A mod thread. Post yours!

Thanks for the size and test results. I just ordered some! :slight_smile:

My second, fully buffed/polished FW3A but with Spiral Tritanium Tailcap button and 8 trits

Bravo Kawi!
That 3rd pic looks awesome.

The button looks nice!

That looks awesome!

“Tritanium”…. I love it!! . :beer:

That light looks amazing KB…… :+1:

Modded my FW3A with GITD gasket and carclo 10507 with trit holes from azhu. Turned out pretty good!


@ Hobo…. That looks good. Is the ‘Glow Gasket’ the AQUA one??

Thanks! Yeah it’s aqua. I like how it just looks white in daylight, one has to look closely to notice it at all.
I also have a lava one in my SST-20 FW3A. Looks good too, but doesn’t glow as long. Also the whole optic looks very pink in daylight with it in place.
IMHO aqua is the color of choice.

Your welcome, thanks for the info. :beer:
I have an AQUA & was thinking yours was too. I really like the green Trits with it!! I am gonna copy you on that. :smiley:

I agree with what you said about the AQUA too… it is all but invisible when not charged up.

I almost got a LAVA… but got a SKY BLUE instead. It does not glow very long either. It also looks good when it’s glowing but not a long glow time. And shows Blue in daylight when not activated.

How did you attach them,its a great idea.

I use E6800 . In the D4V2 thread there is a picture

I have one and it’s too yellow. I have a roll of 219b sw30 that I’m going to use to replace for a more beautiful warm tint.

UV Band Pass film…. 1 tiny little 0603 UV emitter/resistor and 3 trits… cleaned it up some….

Going to try and reduce the size or fit the glass BP lens to the triple optic… :sunglasses:

Since it seems pennzy does not do pictures… let’s see if we can’t decipher & actually see what he did with these three pictures…… All lined up in a row in one easy to locate place… Right Here in THIS Post……:smiley:

E6800 Industrial Adhesive

.
FW3A with SS Washer attached with E6800

Thank you.

Seems adhesive not available in UK, would expoxy resin or UV cure glue be OK?

I think anything would work that would stick Stainless Steel to Aluminum.

  • 3M 5200
  • JB Weld
  • Epoxy might work long term… might not??
  • UV Cure maybe??… I don’t know for sure.

The stuff he used (E6800) appears to be ‘clear’, so you ’might not’ have to be as particular with exact application so as not to create aj eyesore. :smiley:

Experiment with what you think might work. Worse that can happen is it comes off & you have to try again with something else. :wink:

Where did you get the sw30 219B? I bought some 219B 3000K 9080 from LEDRISE.EU and to my surprise they are very positive DUV instead of negative like how we know them. Even the 219B 3000K 9050 version is less green yellow than the 9080 I got.

Somewhere in China:

AMAZING!!

How are the images etched into the body and the lens ring?
