Lumintop FW1A discussion and review

But it will need thicker shelf...

Wonder if we can shave 3mm off the head to better fit 20mm optics (11mm height)

Received a tracking number from Neal. Will probably buy another when available in raw aluminum with the stainless bezel soon.

FWIW, I opted for free shipping with my FW1A order, and the tracking number was received via email on Wed, Sep 18, 2019 2:59 am EDT. If I like the light, I may buy another in blue or non-anodized - if/when this option become available. Thanks Neal - good job on getting this out!


Update - apparently my FW1A is already in the States:

And I jizzed in my pants

Varbos if you’re going to get silly you might as well mention the one variant I’d actually be interested in - FW1A GT, a D1S sized (or slightly larger) thrower with a tail switch.
…but for now let’s stick with what we have. Hopefully I can get my hands on an FW1A soon!

The 21700 variant is already on its way…

who will be the first person to convert their FW1A to a triple with a big Aluminum heatsink?

Daaamn O_O

No FW3B (brass) and maybe FW3BC (brass with Cu head) ?
No FW3A original (1st prototype) ?

That is what tracking on mine looks like as well, not sure that it really means it is in the States.

Mine looked like that as well, and then magically showed up at my home a few days later.

Today was a good day.


Looking forward to more details, especially about the beam. :slight_smile:

Same here. I’m also interested in current draw with the FET.

bmengineer - does this use a 16mm or 20mm star? Thanks.

Good for you, and nice pix!

Anyone know what smooth reflector would fit this? Going to build osram variants.

If assume the same as the FW3A, but I’ll check eventually.
