Very helpful, f0xx!

From reading the descriptions, it looks like the most floody optic would be the 10509. Do you think that’s right?

I desire a very floody beam for my light. I searched for some beam shots but didn’t turn up much. I would love to know how the 10509 compares to the S41S’s beam (more or less floody).

I’m going to look for a mod that turns the light into a mule. Maybe that’s trivial?

Edit: I found post #354 from the mods thread with the 10509. That looks like what I want. I’ll have to drill it out and put trits in!

I have a 10509 (no trits), and it is very floody. If that’s what you’re after, you will love it. I like the 10507 the best, and the original 10511 next best. I don’t have one with the new optic yet.

77

I’ve never seen an S41 in person, so I can’t compare the two. The 10509 sounds like a winner though. If you wanted to try them all, it’s easy to swap them. Get one of each and experiment, then modify your favorite one.

Anyone in this thread that asked for the option A or D that hasn’t received a shipping notification/tracking number/status “Fulfilled” on Neal’s website?

I mentioned my preference and got a response at one point, but it has been a long time and people are getting their lights already while mine says “Unfulfilled”. Am I alone (possibly overlooked) or am I just not patient enough?

I am just looking for some confidence from other BLF’rs that it’ll work out. I have purchased from Neal before and though he seems super busy, I got exactly what I ordered and it came in a reasonable amount of time. Still happy with Neal, and I’m crossing my fingers that I was just on the back end of the list.

79

I got my notification today… I think you should be patient.

80

Awesome! As long as my order didn’t fall into a black hole somewhere, I am happy. Thank you for your response!

81

Just to clarify, if I purchase a FW3A from Neal today, which version of the optic/lens will I get by default?

82

update June 26th. for the resolution:

A. ship with the new optics and a extra lens

85

Double check the bags with the extra o-rings. I think some other members have found theirs in those bags. Worth a quick look.

86

Yep, that’s where mine was - a little hard to see, but it was there.

87

1st thing I did was flex the oring bags … the I disassembled entire boxes and searched inside and out of shipping bag.
NADA

What is the original lens size?
I’ll see if UCL has anything to match.

88

Sorry to hear that.

89

Any update on the GT nanos. Are you planning to sell the batteries too?

90

Neal,

Sent you several emails regarding my order and have yet to hear back from you or get a update on my orders. If you would please let me know what’s going on with them.

Thanks

I’m in the same situation. I’m sure his just busy. You’re not alone.

92

I understand that but would be nice to know ahead of time before paying for expedited shipping. Kinda defeats the purpose of that option.

93

Where can we buy these tactical rings?

94

What is the tactical purpose of those rings? Grip?
