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

That is just Thursday.

pls post some pics… words mean nothing :heart_eyes:

I don’t think all 3000K Cree leds are 80CRI minimum. The XP-L2 7A V4 I got from Kaidomain is measured at 72CRI.

That’s the XP-L2.

Even at 3000k, it’s not going to reach 80CRI unless 100% specified.

So how are the chances that my second light get’s shipped?
Neal did not reply to my email but since the address created so many issues with the first light I would like to make sure, that the second get’s send correctly right away.

Edit: ohh shit, I just noticed that the original shipping notice, says, that both lights should have been in it o.O dammmmmmn…
I only ever received one of them :frowning: and thought the second would arrive later….

FW3A unboxing and look around - YouTube :frowning: there was just one light in the shipment o.O

So far only the warm white got to me :frowning:

Does your customs open packages? I’m wondering if it is possible they were not both put back in.

It was “reshipped” so it possibly never saw customs…
German customs are well trusted and I would be shocked to learn about something getting stolen.

It needed 3 attempts of shipping to reach me, because the person/company who does the shipping here in Germany f’ed up the address on the package… the actual delivery was done by DHL and the package was in good shape (did not suspect anything at the time).

I think something went wrong there… and maybe someone who only ordered one light, now got tow of them.

I see. Anything is possible if there were shipping issues like that. :frowning:

Although it is none of my business, your delivery scheme sounds complicated to start with… Why not get it shipped where you are? This is likely the source of your problem because of an additional reshipping, possibly abroad… Unless i misunderstood. I can’t tell.

In my five+ years experience, it always gets delivered in 10-20 days, whatever the chinese seller with free or almost free shipping. I just order and forget, and someday it shows up. Whatever the address i’m at in France. I would expect as much in Germany.

Excessive expectation and parcel tracking fosters anxiousness too. :wink:

Just checked the datasheet, all XP-L HIs 3500K and below are 80 CRI minimum. This isn’t true for the HD and certainly isn’t a hard and fast rule for other Cree emitters.

Hopefully mine is in one of those boxes. :smiley:

Ok, thanks, glad to hear you came to the same conclusion. I wish we knew exactly what they are but that’s a good start.

I’ve had mine since the 10th, I think. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I agree! :heart_eyes:

It almost looks like woodgrain!

It was not my choice.
The company who did the shipping in Germany was somewhat unable to deliver to my original address.
They could not handle a company line.
I did not choose the type of shipping, it was the default for Germany.
All shipments where sent domestically and not international.

PM SENT

I wonder if there’s any secret achieving this and may like sharing it here?

It’s a looker!

I didn’t do anything special. Opened it up, tossed a GA inside, and play with it every now and again. It did see some pocket time on Sunday, but only a couple hours. Other than that it’s been sitting on my desk bezel down when I’m not using it.
