Yes I think the same, they should make quad with a 21700, it looks strange to me with that big head now…
About headlamp - believe me or not, 20 min ago I was thinking: “There is so much FW3A variants, why not making headlamp?”
And there it is :partying_face: It looks…ok, but also I’m afraid it’s not well balanced. This head looks much heavier than the rest and if those two grooves are for headband mount, then it will feel heavier on one side and be uncomfortably to wear.
Hum, I’ve been thinking about what people are saying here, the desire of a FW4A with 21700 body.
It raises me some questions, and I will present them to help me deciding if I am interested or not in the FW4A with 18650 body, or if I would support the idea of a FW4A with 21700 body.
So, assuming that we will use a 21700 cell/host:
a) would we have more efficiency and more runtime with 4 leds instead of 3 leds?
b) would we have a “lot more” or just a “little more” heat with 4 leds instead of 3?
My questions are honest and are due to some things:
If the efficiency is lower (?), if the runtime is lower (?), if the heat is higher (?) with 4 leds, do I still want a 4 leds head even if the battery is bigger ?
Please help me answering these questions !
Thanks in advance!
You totally missed out it should/would/could be 25%? (dunno if that’s correct sorry) brighter - quite an important part really.
I’m not at all concerned with efficiency really but I don’t use mine for prolonged stints, and I’m not convinced it would be massively hotter (I am a long way from being expert) but I do have a S41 quad already, and that doesn’t get massively hot, less hot that the FW3A at any rate. I still love it years later.
Maybe if they do the quad they’ll put a copper slug in lol! or, don’t bother with an ally one, just do one like an ally/copper FW3A.
