Flashlight Comparison Request Thread

I do not have a EDC18

I can show a comparison between FW3A, KR4 and D4V1 (all with the short Tube)

You sure that’s FW3A and not FW1A?

The stainless bezel is deep in your image, which I thought was for the FW1A version. Isn’t the Stainless Bezel for the FW3A considerably more shallow?

Yes I´m sure

From Left to Right (FW3A TI- 18650, FW3A with 18500 Tube, FW1A with 18350 Tube and FW3A with 18350 Tube)
As you can see, the Bezel of the FW1A is much more deeper than the Bezel for the FW3A

Oh man yeah the FW1A bezel is substantially deeper given that perspective against the FW3A!

Apologies for the question, I genuinely thought the FW3A was even less deep before seeing it relatively.

All cool! Beautiful collection.

> Can anyone, please, compare the following flashlights with their 18350 tubes, side by side?

I suggest also comparing the Carry Weight of each light (with a battery inside).

for me, weight is a useful way to compare lights of different sizes and shapes

good size comparison
maybe you can add the carry weights…

Sure :slight_smile:

D4 with Alu Bezel: 53g (I have no SS Bezel for the D4)
FW3A; 41g (Alu Bezel), 47g (SS Bezel)
KR4: 69g (Alu Bezel), 75g (SS Bezel)

All without clip and without battery
So you have to add another 20g for a 18350 battery

thank you :slight_smile:

my 18350 weighs 25 grams

so carry weights w bezels shown in pic would be:
FW3A 72 grams
D4 78 grams (8% heavier than FW3a)
KR4 100 grams, (42% heavier than FW3a)

Ahah, you know, when Hank is on the run, something will happen and soon turn the recently launched light into and out-dated one :stuck_out_tongue:
The Cyan lights he does are surely different and stand-out for it , so maybe soon he “spits out” something alike :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the link Yokiamy :wink:
And for the pictures linked! That can surely show the comparison between the Emisars :wink:

Thanks Chatika Vas Paus!
Hum, the 18350 is already available, maybe on BG or through Neal. The member maba already showed it in and EDC18! I didn’t search for it yet, because I wanted to have this comparison to put some things in perspective :stuck_out_tongue:

@ Chatika and @ Geuzzz

I can change the title of the thread later to make it non-specific request. What do you say?
Then people can post their comparison requests :+1:

Thank you so much DrDevil, for showing these three! I guess we’ll have to raise funds for the EDC18 and the short tube to have the full set compared :wink:
That already tells me some things, specially about the bigger size of the KR4 .
I want to decide myself for one of those lights ( although I have the D4V1 and the FW3A already).
But a side-by-side comparison helps to see how “big” it will be for pocket carry.
I don’t care much about the weight, but the size of it makes some difference !

So, thanks for the 3/4 and now we hope you get the EDC18 for the “all in” comparison :smiley:

And great collectiom BTW :wink:


And the quest continues :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it’s a good idea. Sometimes you have to search for ages to find the right comparison

I measured 71 gram with the 18350 tube and without clip for the KR4

It would be significant project, but a flashlight version of camerasize.com would be awesome.

Ok. So let’s post some edc light size comparison lineup’s.

And now I’m jealous :stuck_out_tongue:
Thanks for reviving this :wink:

And in case people want other comparisons, start asking them, eventually the “original” request will be fullfiled throughout the time :+1:

Beautiful :heart_eyes:

What’s the 4th light from the left?

Acebeam TK16 copper version :wink:

Nice edc collection Geuzzz :+1:

Thanks guys!

Hoping to get some inspiration for my next lights by other lineups.

I promised myself not to buy on BG anymore, and Neal shipping is free over $50. Maybe someday I’ll order something…
Btw, Here is the photo I mentioned earlier

I will enlarge it if you decide to change the title
