Not much of a Mod—- I changed out the XPL-1A to Samsung 4k —- Very nice tint now — Surprising the Lumintop Optic works well with these LEDs— Seems to be more Floody with less artifacts — I have the same LEDs in a S2+ with the 511 optic to compare
I also had to get rid of that shiny clip from the Vipon buy light — I bead blasted the Clip and Button (better) — I’m thinking about Blueing the clip but the button is aluminum so that’s a no go—- I like the Heated look also
It isn’t, it’s steel, if they didn’t change that. Otherwise TeeDubya couldn’t have etched it.

The button is stainless steel and can be colored with heat….so can the clip…
Ok good to know—- I just checked the clip is magnetic —- KawiBoy1428 what clip is that
The original black clip….bead blasted and heated with a oxy/acetylene torch….
question… I just got a fw3a from amazon, but it came with the plastic optic and no glass lens. I have some carclo optics, but I dont have the glass lenses… anyone know where we can get them? (23mm x 1.5mm ?)
Thanks!
I’ve ordered from here once before (but not this size specifically), they are plain glass lenses in tons of sizes:
And the other option is a slightly smaller, slightly thicker UCL lens with AR:
FlashlightLens.com - Your source for high quality glass and acrylic flashlight lenses. - Flashlightlens.com - Online Store (store is closed for order for a week or two)
The stock AR ones have a decent amount of tint shift but neither of the above ones should have that problem.

I have a few spare stock lenses I could send you one…no charge… 
Anyone have an extra rubber ring from their FW3A that they don’t plan on using? Looking to pick up an extra one or two. PM me.
So what’s the most popular led for direct replacement on XP-L HI boards , the Samsungs?
LH351Ds, yes.
Thanks!
WTB trit switch that sits flush
A switch thin enough to sit flush would not be thick enough for trits. It is one or the other.
It can be done.
PM address I send switch CRX. I will give you a 5 star review
Ah! Very clever CRX. Using the inside of the button!
Stone wash Ti clip on Brushed Ti/Cu FW3….Polished Ti clip for the mini… kicking around idea’s where/which end to mount and or modify the clip?
