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

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”.

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.

Of course, I’m going to want it in brass, copper, and titanium. :smiley:

It’s a pretty unusual light with the tail e-switch, and it’ll be particularly versatile with that switch and all the features we can pack into the huge 8K ROM.

hehehe

I had for almost 20 years and more than half a million kilometers a Charade

I’m fine with any name possible since it will not be engraved. :+1:
At least it will not look like this with tons of “literature” :

:person_facepalming:

It looks like a heavily sponsored race car. Do not want.

In addition to the different materials for the FW3A, I’d love the powers that be to offer an 18350 tube and possibly the thought of a larger tube for the 21700 cells that may appear on the horizon.

Also I agree with delusional’s post up above. At this price point, with the size, lumens, UI and cool looks, it really could be the next “it” light. I love my Zebralights and really appreciate the quality they possess, but I don’t know at this stage of the game if I’d buy them again knowing that new and wonderful lights are being created at a fraction of the price.
