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

I’d like a red head, clear-ish body and blue tail cap please

Yesterday i got FW3TC with 219C and i can confirm the tint is awefull.

These are going to be swaped out for sure.

And that was the week of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the celebration caused a delay.

so a 21700 version is coming now , interesting.

Do You have a link to t his news?

[M4D deal] 21700 FW3A presale list I believe this is the thread for the the groupbuy.

Saw it Flashlight Fanatics FB group and the post below from this thread.

This post was merely a joke about how Lumintop are really milking the FW series … it is not really their 2020 lineup

However the 21700 version is real

:D

i think they try to offer a version to any taste

Well damn, you got me lol. :smiley:

I got some protected 35E’s and they fit in my 219c and sst20 FW3As but not in my titanium and copper version. That has a different tail switch arrangement.

Yes and in one of my copper ones the switch sucks

Absolutely hated the switch in my titanium version, too soft/mushy and no click what so ever. Swapped it with the switch from my aluminum and its perfect now. Nice solid click and you actually have to apply pressure instead of breathing on it to activate. Wonder if the different size plastic nub has anything to do with it?

Seems a hit or miss. My ti switch is as great as the one on my first batch alu version.

Mine is strange, I swapped out all the parts, no change
Then I swapped out an aluminum tail cap for the brass, worked perfectly.
So there is something different in the cap.
It works just fine until that last slight turn to get the signal to work then it is like crushed, still works but too little distance in the throw.
Even changed the inner tube, no help. Something in the copper cap.
My other copper FW3 works perfectly
Can not figure it out.

When I first switched the buttons I didn’t notice a difference either, until I removed the retaining ring on the tail of my Ti light. With the button form the aluminum light(little nub) and no ring, it’s perfect.

I tried it with the ring off and on, with the other button, no joy.

Order placed July 14, Asked for refund about a few times, most recently a month ago from Neal, still no refund.

Really bad service probably the worst I ever had. What can I realistically do? Is there a better way to reach him? I have PMed him a few times, wrote it in email and had trusted him to do the right thing. Is my money lost?

My raw aluminum came in today.
For the first time ever I didn’t even need to remove the tail cap. Works perfectly.
Does have the one step lockout, which is strange since it is new production.

I’m sure you already have, but make sure the ramp and stepped modes aren’t set to the same floor. I think that would make it look like one step lockout.
