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

FW3A
yes a nice nick it should have maybe

FW (guy who designed it I believe) 3 (number of emitters) A (for aluminum, denotes the material used)
I like it, short and to the point. I dont think I have once told anyone make and model of my flashlights in person at least lol

WOW!
One of each for me

PD. Depending on the price, of course

I dont think there is an immediate plan for the other material bodies at this time though

The “Fritz 3A”?

That’s just like shooting fish in a barrel. When something catches on, release versions B, C and T :smiley:

What about working some German into it.

BLFritz Drei

not serious

Beautiful light please put me down for 2
Thank you

I decided to get 1 for now, letting you know in case you using these numbers to determine how many you need to order.

Triple Fritz

I am in for one!

This doesn’t work very well in English. There’s a phrase, “on the fritz”, which means “inoperative” or “malfunctioning” or “not working right now”.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/on_the_fritz

It could be almost as unfortunate as when Chevy tried to sell a car called “Nova” in countries where that translates to “no go”. Who wants a car which doesn’t go? Who wants a flashlight with triple malfunction?

Kind of funny now the price that a Nova can bring :stuck_out_tongue:

Interested in 2
Thanks

Yes will update list later

Compared to other names FW3A isn’t all that bad. The “BLF triple” I have seen being used, but that doesn’t do TLF justice.
Elegant triple is good too.

Now the other way around: I know of an American TV-show with Burt Reynolds as Lt. Dan August. On German TV they called him Dan Blocker. When you go to a circus in Germany, there are always clowns. On top of the foodchain is the all white (clothes, make-up) Arlequine and on the other end is “der dumme August”. A character like Bozo. Just saying.
Not to mention once there was a car made in Poland that was called something like “your mother is a …” in Russia.

There’s a rumor that “Coca Cola” originally translated to “bite the wax tadpole” in Japan, until the company realized this and changed it slightly to mean “pleasure in the mouth”.

Oh,I didn’t know that.

Funny, the best german VDSL/Internet Router/Modem all in one connection box is named “Fritz!Box” from AVM.

+1 here!
Not so nice to be “catchy”, but FW3A can be a distinctive name.

Picking up and adapting contactcr and joechina suggestions and making justice to both: :sunglasses:
BLF: BLitz Fritz + TLF: TripLe Fritz = BlitzTripleFritz (BLF/TLF > BTF) :nerd_face:

If using “Elegant Triple”, we would be calling “ET” to this light :stuck_out_tongue:

(BTW, “NOVA” in portuguese is “new” in the feminin, and in some spanish language countries “no va” (separated) is the “don’t go”)

just checking in. this will be another great light to have imo :+1:

EDIT : sorry forgot to mention please put me in the list. I’m interested in ONE! :+1:

Please add me to the list for one.

Thanks.
